"Resolution No.(304): "Investing an Endowed Land for Building a Mosque"

Date Added : 14-06-2021

Resolution No.(304), (9/2021): By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Investing an Endowed Land for Building a Mosque"

Date (22 of Shawal, 1442AH), corresponding to (3/6/2021AD).

 

In its 8th meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa` reviewed the letter No.4/2/3/5230 sent from His Excellency, the Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr.Mohammad Al-Khalayleh. This letter reads as follows:

We would your Grace to clarify the ruling on the endowed land No.(199), area No.(9) Al-Henawa/Alomqaa' Town – one of southern Mazar's lands, which is (2002/m2). This land was given as an endowment in (1996AD) for the purpose of building a mosque o it; yet, the purpose in which the endower set his land for is unattainable, because a big mosque was built 200 meters away from his land. Therefore, he asks for the permission to make an investment on it through establishing an agriculture project on it instead.

After thorough deliberation, the Board decided what follows:

In principle, endowments are to be given and fulfilled based on endower's condition and for the same purpose in which it was endowed in the first place by the former. Due to the fact that fulfilling it is unattainable as mentioned in the above question for compelling reasons, then there is no harm on investing the endowed building in the best manner so long as its outcome is disposed as conditioned by the endower. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

I`m a pious Muslim woman, but my husband isn`t, what should I do?

You should exercise patience, make supplication that Allah guides him to the straight path, and keep advising him kindly.

Is it permissible to offer an Udhiyah on behalf of another without their permission?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is not permissible for a person to offer a sacrifice (Udhiyah) on behalf of someone else without their permission, except in the following cases: if he sacrifices on behalf of the members of his household, if a guardian sacrifices from his own wealth on behalf of his ward, or if the Imam (ruler) sacrifices from the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) on behalf of the Muslims. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is considered a woman`s Awrah (parts of the body that must be concealed during prayer) while offering prayer, and is her foot part of it?

A woman`s whole body is considered an Awrah while offering prayer except the hands and the face. Thus, her foot is an Awrah as well. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it obligatory for someone traveling by plane in the afternoon during Ramadan to fast?

Anyone who intends to travel after dawn must begin the day fasting and continue with the intention of completing their fast, as fasting was obligatory upon them before traveling.
However, if they experience unbearable hardship after starting their journey, they are permitted to break their fast due to that hardship, not merely because of travel. In such a case, they must make up for the missed fast later.
