The General Iftaa` Department Warns against Books Promoting Takfir, Tabdi` and Tadlil

 

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

 

The General Iftaa` Department has reviewed some books of Aqida (Islamic Creed) promoted through some competitions aiming at tagging Muslims with Kufr (Disbelief), Tabdi` (Declaring another Muslim to be an innovator), and misguiding the masses of Shlu Sunnah Wal Jama`aah. This leads to spreading the culture of exaggeration in religion, Takfir and subjecting society to the danger of facing those who carry extremist thinking and issuers of irregular Fatwas that contradict with the Prophetic methodology and undermine the constants of society`s security, belief, doctrine and intellectual balance. This is particularly since the Hashemite leadership, direct descendants of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), has adopted a methodology that rests on moderation and accepting others. These blessed efforts culminated in the Message of Amman, the Message of tolerant Islam, launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II. It aims to adopt moderate thinking that unites the Muslim nation and accepts the other under the umbrella of Islam`s mercy, tolerance and moderation.

 

The Department also confirms rejecting intellectual extremism and strictness and opts for dialoguing and arguing with wisdom and fair preaching, as taught in the Glorious Quran. Allah says {what means}: " Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." {An-Nahil, 125}.

 

In conclusion, emanating from its national and religious duty, the General Iftaa` Department warns against publishing and circulating such books as they pose a great danger to society and its religious as well as intellectual security. And all perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on a woman who takes medication to delay menstruation for fasting?

If a woman takes medication (to delay menstrual period) and does not experience menstruation, her fast is valid. However, she is not advised to do so unless there is a necessity.
If the medication harms her, even potentially, it is forbidden (haram) for her to take it.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on supplicating with other than the transmitted (Ma'thur) supplications in prayer?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
It is permissible to supplicate (make du'a) during the prayer for anything from the affairs of religion or worldly life, and the prayer is not invalidated by doing so.
Shaykh al-Islam, the Imam an-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: "Our madhhab [i.e., the Shafi'i madhhab] holds that it is permissible for a person to supplicate during it [the prayer] with anything that is permissible to supplicate with outside the prayer, from the affairs of religion or worldly life. He may say: 'O Allah, grant me wholesome sustenance, offspring, a house, and a beautiful young wife' — describing her; or: 'O Allah, free so-and-so from prison,' or 'destroy so-and-so,' and other such things — and none of this invalidates his prayer according to us. And this is also the view of Malik, ath-Thawri, Abu Thawr, and Ishaq." [Al-Majmu', Vol.3/P.454]. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

Is it permissible to divide one mudd of fidyah between two people?

No, it is not permissible to divide one mudd between two people, because it would not count as a full meal for either of them.

Is it enough to say Tasbeeh (Saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood ) once, or twice during Rukoo`(Bowing in prayer) and Sujood (Prostration)?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                  Yes, saying Tasbeeh once during Rukoo` and Sujood is enough, provided that the worshiper`s attentiveness of the heart isn`t undermined during each. As regards the recompense, it depends on the number of Tasbeeh. And Allah Knows Best.
