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

What is the ruling on performing the obligatory prayer immediately after the commencement of the Adhan?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible to perform the obligatory prayer (Fard) immediately after the commencement of the prayer time. As the Adhan (call to prayer) serves as a sign that the time has entered, it is permissible to pray as soon as the Adhan begins. However, it is recommended (Mustahabb) for whoever hears the Mu’adhin to repeat what he says. If the Adhan occurs while one is already engaged in prayer, he should repeat the words of the Mu’adhin after he has completed his prayer. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law regarding one who slaughters a ewe and it turns out to have been pregnant, and is it permissible to slaughter the ewe if one knows it is pregnant?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
If a person slaughters a ewe and it turns out to have been pregnant, the fetus becomes lawful (ḥalāl) by virtue of its mother's slaughter (tabaʿan li-ummihā).
It is stated in Mughnī al-Muḥtāj (Vol.6/P.158): "A fetus found dead [after the mother's slaughter], or found alive but in a state resembling that of a slaughtered animal [i.e., dying shortly after], becomes lawful — whether or not it had grown fur — provided it is found in the womb of a mother that was lawfully slaughtered, whether her slaughter was by cutting the throat, or by an arrow or hunting dog sent after her. This is based on the ḥadīth: 'The slaughtering of the fetus is [effected by] the slaughtering of its mother' [narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan, and by Ibn Ḥibbān, who graded it ṣaḥīḥ] — meaning that the slaughter which rendered the mother lawful renders the fetus lawful as well, by virtue of following her; and because the fetus is one of her constituent parts, and her slaughter renders lawful all of her parts."
This ruling differs, however, from the case of one who knows from the outset that the ewe is pregnant [and intends to sacrifice her specifically as the udḥiyah while pregnant] — in which case, according to the Shāfi'ī school, she does not fulfill the requirement of a valid sacrifice.
It is stated in Ḥāshiyat al-Bujayrimī 'alā al-Khaṭīb (Vol.4/P.335): "A pregnant animal does not fulfill the requirement [of a valid sacrifice], and this is the authoritative position (al-mu'tamad), because pregnancy diminishes the quality of the meat. As for why such an animal is nevertheless counted as complete [i.e., fully valid] in matters of zakāh, that is because the intent there is reproduction (nasl), not the quality of the meat.". And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

What is the ruling on performing istinja' before every ablution?

Istinja' is not from the conditions for the validity of ablution. It is only obligatory for prayer when there is impurity from urine or stool on the private part, or if there is fear of the impurity spreading to the body or clothing. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Is it incumbent on a husband to pay the alimony of his wife if she had left him and stayed at her parent`s without his permission?

When a wife leaves her house, and stays at her parent`s without asking her husband, she is considered a Nashiz (wife who refuses to abide by her husband’s orders), and so she doesn`t deserve an alimony.
