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

I work in an accounting and auditing office, and among the clients of the office are restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets that sell alcohol. Our work is limited to collecting invoices, whether purchases, sales, or expenses, and recording them in daily books. We also review income and sales taxes on behalf of these clients.

You are more knowledgeable about the nature of your work. If you see it as assisting in wrongdoing, then it is forbidden, as Allah The Exalted Says (What means): "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression" [Al-Ma’idah/2]. However, if your work is merely documenting the reality, then I hope there is no sin upon you. The the pious predecessors (Salaf) used to take the tithe from the traders of the People of the Book, even if it included alcohol, after knowing the value of their goods. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

There is a car dealership, and their method of selling is as follows: The customer pays the full price of the car, the car is registered in their name, and another contract is written in which the company commits to refunding the full price of the car to the customer after one year from the purchase date. What is the Islamic ruling on this transaction?

As for purchasing the car, paying its price, and owning it, this is a valid sale with no issue. However, the condition of refunding the price — whether the car is returned to the seller or not — is an invalid condition that nullifies the entire contract. Therefore, this transaction is invalid and not permissible. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a man to wear transparent clothing?

It is not permissible for a man to wear transparent clothing that reveals his 'Awrah (the area that must be covered). The 'Awrah of a man is "from his navel to his knees", and modesty is more prudent. And Allah Knows Best.

Is a Muslim is Permitted to Pray Wearing Shoes?

All perfect praise be to Allah The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions                                                                                                                                                                                                                                There is no harm for a Muslim to pray wearing shoes or slippers so long as they are pure, since a man asked Anas Ibn Malik: "Did the Prophet (PBUH) use to offer the prayers with his shoes on?" He said: "Yes." Moreover, Ibn Rajab (May Allah have mercy on his soul) said: "Performing prayer wearing slippers/shoes is permissible according the majority of the Muslim scholars." [Fatih Al-Bary,vol.2/pp.274]. And Allah Knows Best.
