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

Is the son of the sister by breastfeeding considered a mahram in Islam, and is it permissible for a woman to go for Hajj with him?

Everything that is prohibited by lineage is also prohibited by breastfeeding. The son of the sister by breastfeeding is considered a mahram, just like the son of the sister by blood, and it is permissible for him to be her mahram for Hajj and Umrah. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on making up the regular pre-Dhuhr *sunnah* (*al-sunnah al-rātibah al-qabliyyah*) for one who missed it in the Dhuhr prayer?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
Every timed supererogatory prayer (nāfilah) is recommended (mandūb) to be made up if its time passes. As for a nāfilah that precedes the obligatory prayer, performing it before the farḍ is a matter of proper etiquette (adab); if it is prayed after the farḍ, it is still considered adāʾ (performed within its time). If the time of the farḍ has ended, it is recommended to make up (qaḍāʾ) the nāfilah for one who did not pray it.
Whoever misses the sunnah before Dhuhr, whether with an excuse or without one, it is recommended for him to pray it after the obligatory Dhuhr prayer, within the time of Dhuhr, even at its end, and it counts as adāʾ, not qaḍāʾ. It is also recommended for one who missed the pre-Dhuhr sunnah to pray it before the post-Dhuhr sunnah, in observance of the proper order. It is stated in ʿUmdat al-Sālik wa ʿUddat al-Nāsik (Vol.1/p.60): "What precedes the obligatory prayer has the same time as the obligatory prayer, and performing it before the farḍ is a matter of etiquette; after it, it is adāʾ. What follows the farḍ has its time begin with the performance of the farḍ and end with the end of its time."
If the time of Dhuhr has ended, it is recommended for him to pray both the pre- and post-Dhuhr sunnahs, and they count as qaḍāʾ for both. It is stated in ʿUmdat al-Sālik (1/61): "Every timed nafl, such as the ʿĪd prayer, Duha, Witr, and the regular rawātib of the obligatory prayers, if it is missed, it is recommended to make it up forever." And Allah Almighty knows best.

My father has debts and asked me to repay them years ago, and I promised him I would do so upon his death — is it permissible for me to go back on my promise given that I am unable to repay them, especially since he refuses to contribute to repayment on the grounds that the debt has become my responsibility by virtue of my promise?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
The established principle is that a father's debt is to be repaid from his own wealth, if he possesses sufficient means. As for the promise made by the son to repay it on his father's behalf, fulfilling such a promise is strongly recommended, and breaking it is considerably disliked. Shaykh al-Islām Imām al-Nawawī, may Allah have mercy upon him, states: "Fulfilling a promise is emphatically recommended, and breaking it is severely disliked. The evidences for this from the Qurʾān and the Sunnah are well known." [Rawḍat al-Ṭālibīn,Vol. 2/P.278] Shaykh al-Islām Imām Zakariyyā al-Anṣārī, may Allah have mercy upon him, further states: "The reason fulfilling a promise is not obligatory and breaking it is not forbidden is that a promise is in the nature of a gift, and a gift does not become binding except upon receipt." [Asnā al-Maṭālib fī Sharḥ Rawḍ al-Ṭālib,Vol. 2/P.487]
Given that the son does not possess the financial means to fulfil his promise to his father, breaking this promise falls beyond his capacity — and Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. Since the father himself possesses sufficient wealth to settle his own debt, repayment must be made from his own funds. Should he pass away before doing so, the debt is to be settled from his estate. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on the Friday bath (ghusl al-Jumu'ah)?

The Friday bath is a confirmed Sunnah, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever performs ablution on Friday, it is good for him, and whoever takes a bath, bathing is better." (Reported by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi who said it is a hasan hadith). It is recommended for everyone who wants to attend the Friday prayer, even if they are not from its usual attendees, like a woman or a boy.
If a person is in a state of major impurity (junub) and intends by his bath both lifting the major impurity and the Friday bath, he achieves both. If he intends only one of them, he achieves only what he intended. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
