Statement on the Incident in Karak

 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

Allah the Almighty says (What means): "Think not of those who are slain in God’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by God: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve They glory in the Grace and the bounty from God, and in the fact that God suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least)." {Al-Emran, 169-171}.

 

The General Iftaa` Department mourns the  martyrs from amongst the gendarmerie and public security forces who sacrificed their lives for the sake of Allah defending their homeland and innocent citizens who were martyred in the city of Karak. We call upon Almighty Allah to accept them along with those persons upon whom Allah bestowed favors from amongst the Apostles, the testifiers of truth, the martyrs, the pious and goodly company are they.

 

With the efforts of its honest men and loyal citizens, Jordan will remain steadfast against all cowardly attempts targeting its security, stability, and the determination of its people. These unfortunate events will only increase Jordan's unity and determination to foil the plots of the traitors aiming to destabilize it. 

 

The Department also calls on all Jordanians to support the security forces against the extremist ideology and the Khawarij (outlaws) of this era, and those who break the law, and to support the wise Hashemite leadership, headed by His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein, may Allah protect him.

The Department expresses its deepest condolences to His Majesty King Abdullah II and the families of the martyrs asking Allah to grant them solace. The martyrs will always be remembered as a symbol of national honor and pride.

We call upon Allah to have mercy on the martyrs and bless their families with patience and solace. Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to him we will return.

) And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!(

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the amount of food to be given to a needy person for fidyah and kaffarah?

The amount of food to be given to a needy person is 600 grams of wheat or rice.
According to the Hanafi school, it is permissible to give the monetary equivalent instead, and this is the ruling issued by the General Iftaa` Department.

What is the ruling on a woman who learns of her divorce or her husband's death after her *ʿiddah* has ended? And does the *ʿiddah* of a woman who abandoned mourning (*iḥdād*) for the whole period of the *ʿiddah*, or part of it, still end, even though she knew that abandoning it is forbidden?**

 

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
The waiting period of a widow who is not pregnant is four months and ten days, based on the saying of Allah Almighty (which means): “And those of you who die and leave wives behind, they shall wait concerning themselves for four months and ten days” [al-Baqarah/234]. If she is pregnant, her ʿiddah ends with the delivery of her child. The ʿiddah is calculated by lunar months and begins from the date of death.
If her ʿiddah ends before she learns of her husband’s death, or of his divorcing her, she does not observe the ʿiddah upon learning of it, because her ʿiddah has already ended.
It is stated in al-Bayān fī Madhhab al-Imām al-Shāfiʿī (Vol.11/p.41), one of the books of the Shāfiʿī school: “If a man divorces his wife, or dies while he is absent from her, her ʿiddah is from the time of the divorce or from the time of death. If she does not know of the divorce or the death until her ʿiddah period has ended, then her ʿiddah has ended. If she learns of it before the end of the ʿiddah period, she completes her ʿiddah counting from the time of the divorce or death.”
As for a woman who abandoned mourning throughout the ʿiddah while knowing that it is forbidden, she is sinful, although her ʿiddah has nonetheless ended. And Allah Almighty knows best.

What is Tarawih prayer?

Tarawih prayer is the night prayer (Qiyam) performed during the month of Ramadan. It is called "Tarawih" because Muslims used to prolong the standing (qiyam) in it and take brief rests after every four rak‘ahs.

Does nosebleed during the day in Ramadan affect the validity of fasting?

A nosebleed does not affect the validity of fasting unless some of the blood reaches the body cavity or the person intentionally swallows it. In such a case, their fast is invalid, and they must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day and make up for that day later.
