About the Drawing Offending Almighty Allah

 

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.

Islam has played a great role in human life as well as in building noble values that spread justice, tolerance, and mercy. Muslims have carried this noble mission throughout the ages, spreading justice and mercy and fulfilling their role in building human civilization. They were torches of guidance and light wherever they settled and traveled.

 

A group of people exploited the call to confront violence and extremism and attacked Almighty Allah and religious symbols. They launched a fierce attack on Islam in a bid to undermine it and distort its concepts under the pretext of confronting violence and extremism, exploiting the actions of extremists and criminal Takfiris (Those who accuse Muslims to be disbelievers). They portrayed Islam as their enemy and exceeded limits in distorting its image. They sometimes offended Almighty Allah and sometimes our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. In doing so, they are no less extreme than the extremists themselves. In fact, they are working to fan the flames of extremism and ignite sedition and division within society.

 

We have already stated that extremism has no religion or sect, and that it is strange to Islam, all religions and heavenly laws. Jordan was ahead in warning against this distortion by launching the Amman Message, the message of tolerant Islam, in 2004.

 

The mockery of Almighty Allah that has been published by some people incites hatred and spreads sedition in the country. This is something that must be stood up against with all firmness and determination. All Muslims bear the responsibility of defending Almighty Allah and speaking out against those who mock Him. This can be done by upholding Quranic ethics, presenting the luminous image of Islam to the world, refuting the doubts that are directed at it, avoiding violence, terrorism, and killing for these things only serve to distort the image of Islam and Muslims.

 

We, at the General Iftaa` Department, appreciate the measures taken by the government and security agencies to hold accountable those who have insulted Almighty Allah and religious symbols. We also demand that the penalties for those who insult religions be increased within the framework of the law and public order. We also demand that they refrain from inciting sedition and sectarian tensions, so that the call to Allah the Almighty continues to be conducted with wisdom and fair preaching, away from all forms of violence that ignite the fire of sedition.

 

We call on fellow Jordanians to stand together in the face of calls for violence and extremism and to stay away from spreading malicious rumors and repeating them without considering the consequences and evils that result from them, which could lead to the destruction of society and the undermining of its foundations.

 

We stress the need to resist all forms of extremism and to fortify our Jordanian society against its diseases, regardless of its source or form.

 

We also call on the media to play its role in conveying the correct image of Islam and not to follow rumors, and to be careful to consolidate the values of tolerant Islam and highlight its bright image. Experts of this field are responsible for bearing this trust in the best way without distortion, falsification or exaggeration. The word is a dangerous weapon that has two edges. If it is honest, trustworthy and good, it will lead to good and construction. If it is false and corrupt, it will lead to evil and destruction.

 

We ask Allah the Almighty to keep our country safe and secure, and to protect it from all evils and forms of sedition, revealed and concealed. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing and answers the call of those who invoke Him. And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does undergoing surgery under anesthesia break the fast?

Anesthesia itself does not break the fast because anesthetic gases have no physical substance (jirm), and subcutaneous anesthesia injections do not reach the body cavity (jauf). However, this is on condition that the person is conscious at some point during the fasting hours:
● If they were awake at the beginning of the day, their fast remains valid.
● If they wake up even for a moment before sunset, their fast is also valid.
However, if the surgery involves the entry of foreign substances into the body cavity, their fast is invalidated, and they must make up for that day later.

What is the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away, and what is the ruling on her wearing gold?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away is four months and ten days for one who is not pregnant. As for a pregnant woman, her waiting period lasts until she gives birth. It is obligatory for her to remain in the marital home, only leaving for a necessity. During this time, it is prohibited (Haram) to display any form of adornment on the body or clothing; this includes wearing kohl, gold, all types of perfume, and dyeing the hair. Likewise, it is prohibited to receive a direct marriage proposal or to marry during this period.
 
It was narrated by Umm 'Atiyyah that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'We were forbidden to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for a husband, for whom the mourning period is four months and ten days. During this time, we were not to use kohl, nor wear perfume, nor wear dyed clothing except for garments made of 'Asb (coarsely dyed yarn). We were, however, granted a concession at the time of purification—when one of us bathed following her menses—to use a small amount of Kust (costus) or Azfar (fragrant substances). We were also forbidden from following funeral processions.' (Narrated by Al-Bukhari). And Allah the Exalted knows best."

Is it permissible to include others in the reward of one`s sacrifice?

 

In the Name of Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible for the person offering an Udhiyah (sacrificial offering) to include others in the spiritual reward of the sacrifice. However, it is not permissible for multiple people to jointly share the purchase price of a single sheep or goat, unless one person gifts the money to the other.
 
It is stated in Mughni al-Muhtaj (6/137) by Al-Khatib al-Shirbini:
 
"If a person includes someone else in the reward of his sacrifice and slaughters it on his own behalf, it is permissible."
 
It should be carefully noted that including someone else in the reward of one's sacrifice is completely distinct from offering a sacrifice on behalf of someone else. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on someone who combines two prayers as an early combination (jam‘ taqdīm), and then arrives at his place of residence during the time of the second prayer — is he obligated to repeat it?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Whoever combines Ẓuhr and ‘Aṣr while traveling — that is, before he has reached the built-up boundaries of his hometown [upon returning] — his combination (jam‘) of the two prayers remains valid, even if he arrives at his place of residence before the time for the second prayer has actually begun. This is because the combination was already validly completed with its proper conditions fulfilled, and he is not obligated to repeat the second prayer [upon arrival].
A traveler is permitted to make use of the concessions of shortening (qaṣr) and combining (jam‘) prayers once the distance of travel reaches (81 km) or more, provided that his journey is a permissible one, and that he begins shortening and combining only after actually setting out on the journey and passing beyond the built-up limits of the city in which he resides. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.
