Date Added : 19-11-2015

Resolution No.(191)(11/2013) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Over Denouncement of the Israeli Attempts To Divide Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque"

Date: the 2nd of Muharram , 1435 A.H, corresponding to the 6th of November , 2013 A.D.

 

 All perfect praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions:

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies discussed, in its tenth session held on the above given date, the Israeli aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque; consequently, it has issued the following statement :

 Allah ,The Exalted ,Has Honored Al-Aqsa Mosque with a special status in the hearts of all Muslims, emanating from the essence of their belief  as it is the first of the two Kiblahs (Al-Aqsa Mosque and The Sacred Mosque of Makkah), the second of the two holy mosques (The sacred mosques of Makkah and Medina), the third of the Haraams as well as the place from where the Messenger (PBUH) embarked on his nocturnal journey (Al-Israa`wal Mi`raaj). Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred destination that the hearts of Muslims long to, and where their  rewards  are multiplied. The Messenger (PBUH) said: “You should not undertake a special journey to visit any place other than the three mosques: the Sacred Mosque of Makkah, this Mosque of mine and Al-Aqsa Mosque (of Jerusalem )." {Agreed upon}.

We, members of The Jordan Iftaa` Board, who are privileged with a wise Hashemite leadership that spares no effort in restoring and defending Al-Aqsa Mosque based on a deeply-rooted Islamic conviction that tightly bonds all Muslims, stress our dismissal of the Israeli acts of escalation which are intended to provoke the feelings of  Muslims as well as divide and judaize  the Mosque. Allah, The Exalted, Said (What means): “And who does greater evil than he who bars God's places of worship, so that His Name be not invoked in them, and strives to ruin them?; such men might never enter them, save in fear; for them in this world is degradation; and in the Hereafter a mighty chastisement." {Al-Baqarah/114}. 

We highly appreciate the steadfastness of our Palestinian brothers  and commend their heroic defense of Jerusalem and the holy places. We beseech Allah to grant them victory and keep them strong. In this era, it is the duty of  Muslims: people, leaderships, governments or thinkers to defend Al-Aqsa against different threats and offences.

 We sincerely pray that Allah pardons our sins , achieves our aspirations , grants us victory  and helps us retrieve our holy places; that is surely no difficult matter for Allah. And all perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The World.

Summarized Fatawaa

 
What is the ruling on the intention of fasting, where is its place, and when is its time?

The intention is a pillar of acts of worship; it is essential, and worship is not valid without it.
Its place is in the heart, and verbalizing it is recommended so that the tongue reminds the heart. Its meaning is to be determined to abstain from nullifiers of fasting during the upcoming day with the intention of worship and obedience to Allah Almighty. This meaning is naturally present in every Muslim on every night of Ramadan, so there is no need for obsessive doubts. If one says, "I intend to fast tomorrow for the sake of Allah," it removes any doubts.
Its time is from after sunset until before the true dawn.

Does swallowing a fly, road dust, or flour dust break the fast?

A fasting person does not break their fast if something enters their body cavity against their will, such as a fly, road dust, or flour dust.

What is the ruling on I‘tikaf in Ramadan?

I‘tikaf is Sunnah in Ramadan, and it is even more emphasized in the last ten nights, in the hope of witnessing Laylat al-Qadr.

Is it permissible for someone with a physically demanding job, such as a baker or construction worker, to break their fast?

It is not permissible for someone with a physically demanding job to start the day intending to break their fast. They must make the intention to fast at night and begin fasting. However, if they reach a point where fasting becomes unbearably difficult, they may break their fast and make up for it later.
