The General Iftaa` Department Commends the Decisive Security Operation: Jordan is Impervious to Terrorism and Terrorists

 

The General Iftaa` Department commends the major security achievement of all our security agencies in apprehending the perpetrators of the cowardly terrorist attack that struck Karak Governorate. This highly coordinated operation reaffirms that Jordan possesses highly ready, vigilant, and capable security services, and that the long arm of the law can reach anyone who attempts to compromise national security and stability.

The Department expresses its profound appreciation and pride in the courage, professionalism, and high competence demonstrated by the security agencies in handling this terrorist crime—tracking down, locating, and arresting its perpetrators. This stance reaffirms that the security of Jordanians and the protection of their lives and property constitute a red line that will not be crossed or compromised.

This security achievement sends a clear and decisive message to anyone tempted to target Jordan or terrorize its people: no criminal will escape justice, terror will never prevail over the authority of the state, and Jordan will remain impervious to all attempts at sabotage, sedition, and extremist ideology.

The Department affirms that this terrorist crime, which targeted innocent people, has absolutely no connection to Islam. Taking a life that Allah has made sacred, terrorizing peaceful citizens, and attacking people or places of worship are heinous crimes strictly forbidden by the Sharīʿah and condemned on both humanitarian and moral grounds.

The Department salutes the Nashāmā (the valiant personnel) of the Jordanian Armed Forces (the Arab Army), the Public Security Directorate, the General Intelligence Department, and all other security agencies, as well as everyone who contributed to this operation and the ongoing efforts to protect the homeland. It affirms that their dedication serves as Jordan's impregnable shield and fortress against terrorism, extremism, and crime.

The Department further affirms that Jordan—under its wise Hashemite leadership, sustained by the awareness and cohesion of its people, and protected by the strength of its military and security institutions—will always prevail over terrorism and its adherents. The nation's security, stability, and national unity will forever remain paramount, rising above all other considerations.

The Department reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn al-Hussein and our military and security institutions in protecting Jordan and safeguarding its security and stability. It prays to Allah the Almighty to protect our beloved homeland, grant mercy to our nation's fallen heroes, grant swift healing to the wounded, and continue to bless Jordan with enduring peace and safety. May Allah protect Jordan and its Hashemite leadership, preserve the Nashāmā of our security and military forces, and keep this homeland impervious to all terrorism, sedition, and tampering.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the due amount of food in expiation for perjury?

It is feeding ten indigent persons: 600 grams (for each) of the average food of your families such as rice, and it is permissible, according to Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, to give that amount in money if it was more useful to them.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on sitting between the two prostrations, and what is the ruling on the dhikr recited during it?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
Sitting between the two prostrations (al-jalsah bayna al-sajdatayn) is one of the pillars (arkān) of the prayer, while the dhikr recited during it is Sunnah according to the Shāfi'ī scholars. It is recommended (mustahabb) to say what was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say between the two prostrations in the night prayer: 'Rabbi ighfir lī, warhamnī, wajburnī, warzuqnī, warfa'nī' (My Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, make good my deficiencies, provide for me, and raise me)." If one were to say a different supplication instead, such as "Rabbi ighfir lī" (My Lord, forgive me), the prayer would still be valid.
If the worshipper omits this dhikr between the two prostrations, whether intentionally or out of forgetfulness, their prayer remains valid and nothing is required of them, though they miss the reward of following the Sunnah. Leaving it out does not necessitate the prostration of forgetfulness (sujūd al-sahw).
It is stated in Hāshiyat al-Bājūrī 'alā Sharḥ Ibn Qāsim 'alā Matn Abī Shujā' (Vol.1/P.298): "The eleventh — i.e., of the eighteen pillars — his statement: 'sitting between the two prostrations,' meaning even in a supererogatory (nafl) prayer... his statement: 'with the supplication that has been narrated concerning it,' meaning: 'Rabbi ighfir lī, warhamnī, wajburnī, warfa'nī, warzuqnī, wahdinī, wa 'āfinī' (My Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, make good my deficiencies, raise me, provide for me, guide me, and grant me well-being). Al-Ghazālī added: 'wa'fu 'annī' (and pardon me). Al-Mutawallī also added: 'Rabbi hab lī qalban taqiyyan, naqiyyan min al-shirk, bariyyan lā kāfiran wa lā shaqiyyan' (My Lord, grant me a heart that is God-fearing, pure from associating partners with You, innocent, neither disbelieving nor wretched)."And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

Is a woman's prayer performed while following an Imam whose prayer is being broadcasted via the television valid, and does she receive the reward of congregational prayer?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Among the conditions for the validity of following an Imam (Iqtida’) is that the Imam and the follower must be in the same location. Therefore, the prayer of one who follows an Imam whose prayer is being broadcasted via television from a distant location is not valid. However, if the follower is with the Imam in the same mosque, the prayer is valid. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

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.
