"Resolution No.(6): "Administration and Development of Orphans' Funds

Date: Rajab / 1408 AH, Corresponding to: 23/3/1985 AD

 

 

We received a question:

 

"What is the ruling on paying Zakat from the funds of orphans deposited in the Orphans Fund Development Foundation?"

 

The answer and all success attributed to Allah:

 

The Iftaa` Board has decided the following:

 

1- Zakat is obligatory on the wealth of minors and those in their stead, subject to the conditions of Zakat as prescribed by Islamic law.

 

2- In matters of Islamic rulings, they should be applied to all Muslims according to Islamic principles. It is not permissible to enact a law that selectively applies Islamic rulings to one group of Muslims while exempting others.

 

Therefore, the committee suggests that this issue be addressed within the framework of a comprehensive Zakat law that applies to all Muslims, including companies and institutions. Especially since the Temporary Zakat Fund Law No.3 of 1978, as amended by Temporary Law No.2/82, will soon be presented to the honorable National Assembly, by the permission of Allah. The committee hopes that the esteemed Assembly will prioritize the implementation of Zakat, as one of the pillars of Islam, comprehensively with care and attention.

 

And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the best remedy for a person who experiences Waswasah (whispers of the devil) during Salah (prayer)?

Such a person should ignore the devil`s whispers, contemplate the Quranic chapters and verses that he/she recites, look directly at the place of Sujood (prostration), make supplication to Allah, and take refuge in Him from the cursed devil.

Is buying shared land from someone who has taken possession of it considered halal or haram?

The shared land is possessed by the country i.e. for all people; therefore, it shouldn't be possessed/occupied save by it's guardian/owner permission,thusly it can't be possessed save by having owners' permission. Finally, buying it from a person who don't possess it is impermissible. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for the person who wants to travel from the United Arab Emirates to Jordan during the daytime in Ramadan to break his fast before leaving his country; knowing that he had embarked on journey half an hour after dawn?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

The person who made the intention to embark on journey after dawn must observe fast for that day, because it became an obligation on him before engaging on journey. However, if he experienced unbearable hardship while on travel, then he is permitted to break his fast, but he must make up for the missed day. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

During a flight from Amman to the UAE, while we were flying over Saudi Arabia, the captain announced that it was time to break our fast, coinciding with the exact time of sunset. After I had broken my fast with my first date, the captain apologized for the earlier announcement and clarified that the correct time would be in 20 minutes. Am I required to continue fasting on that day?

Whosoever break his fast at teh very first announcement to make up the missed day of Ramadan, since Allah, The Most Exalted, Said (What means): "then complete your fast Till the night appears" [Al-Baqara/187]. And Allah Knows Best.
