Date Added : 24-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(195)(4/2014) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

 "Over the Denouncement of the Israeli Attempts to End the Jordanian Custodianship over Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque"

Date: 17/Rabee` Ath-thani/1435 AH, corresponding to 17/2/2014.

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His Blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and His family and Companions.


 On its third session held on the afore-given date, the Board reviewed the dangers facing Al-Aqsa Mosque. Accordingly, it has issued the following statement:

 

  Allah ,The Exalted ,Has Privileged Al-Aqsa mosque with a special place in the hearts of all Muslims emanating from the basis of their belief since it (Al-Aqsa mosque) is the first of the two Qiblahs (Al-Aqsa mosque and The Sacred Mosque of Makkah), the second of the two holy mosques (The sacred mosques of Makkah and Medina) ,and 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 place that attracts the hearts of all Muslims and praying there entails receiving multiple rewards from Almighty Allah. 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 Iftaa` Board of Jordan, the country which is privileged by a wise Hashemite leadership that spares no effort in restoring and defending Al-Aqsa mosque out of a deeply-rooted belief that tightly bonds all Muslims, stress our rejection to all provocative acts undertaken by the oppressive Israeli enemy against Muslims with the aim of dividing and Judaizing  the Mosque as well as threatening to end the Jordanian custodianship over it . 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 ask Allah to grant them victory and keep them strong.   

It is the religious duty of all Muslims today: people, leaderships, governments, and intellectuals to protect Al-Aqsa Mosque against different threats and violations. We confirm that custody over the Mosque is the right of all Muslims represented by the Hashemite leadership by virtue of its historical heritage and the stewardship agreement it had signed with the Palestinian Authority, not the Israeli occupation authorities whose actions are totally denied in this regard. It is not permissible in Sharia to squander the custodianship over these holy sites or to give up on them.

 

   We beseech Allah to Pardon our sins, fulfill our aspirations and favor us with victory, and that is surely no difficult matter for Allah. And all perfect Praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does the 'aqīqah count as valid if it is slaughtered before the seventh day from the birth?

 

 
 
 
 
 

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
The time during which it becomes permissible to slaughter the 'aqīqah begins from the moment the newborn is fully delivered from its mother's womb.
If the animal is slaughtered prior to the birth, it does not count as an 'aqīqah — it is simply considered an ordinary sheep slaughtered for its meat.
And Allah Almighty knows best.

How do I deal with whispers (waswasa) in ablution and purification?

Whispers in ablution are from Satan, and the Muslim should not pay attention to them. He is not required to re-perform ablution or repeat washing a limb because of waswasa. He should always base his purification on its being valid. It is recommended for him to frequently say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), because Satan recoils when Allah is mentioned. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Does undergoing an endoscopy during the day in Ramadan affect the validity of fasting?

Undergoing an endoscopic procedure during the day in Ramadan—whether through the mouth, nose, front private part, or back private part—invalidates the fast.
Whoever undergoes such a procedure must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day after Ramadan.

What is the ruling on a young man and a young woman having a love relation for the purpose of getting married?

It is forbidden for a man and a woman to have any kind of relation whether for marriage, or not because it leads to committing sin. Such relations include: private meetings, mixing, gazing, and seclusion (Khulwa). Accordingly, one who is sincere in his intentions should go to the woman`s guardian and ask for her hand in marriage.
