Date Added : 05-10-2015

Resolution  No.(160) (26/2010) by The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

                "Ruling on Selling a Car to the One who Pays for it from a Usurious Loan"

Date: (17/1/1432A.H); (23/12/2010 A.D).

 

 

All praise is due to Allah, peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon his family and companions:

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed, in its ninth session held on Thursday (17/1/1432A.H)-(23/12/2010 A.D), the following question:

I own an automobile exhibition, and some of my customers   buy their  cars through a commercial bank, so they make a copy of the car`s license and check  report. When the bank approves to buy the car for the customer, it sends me a promise to pay letter once the notice of abandonment is done and the car is mortgaged  to the bank. Later, I pay a visit to the bank and collect the exact price of the car as had been agreed. What is the ruling of Sharia on this transaction ?

After careful study and deliberation,  the Board decided the following:

Such transaction is prohibited in Sharia since it helps in committing what is prohibited. Allah Has Forbidden helping each other in  sin and rancor, whereas He, The Almighty Said (What means): “Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah. for Allah is strict in punishment.” {Al-Ma`ida/2}.

In Sahih Muslim (1598), Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) cursed the one who accepts Ar-Riba (the usury) and the one who pays it. And the one who records it, and the two persons who stand witness to it. He added (All of them are equally sinful).” {Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on obtaining a house through the King Abdullah II project (Decent Housing for a Decent Living), knowing that we do not own a house, our financial situation is moderate, our current rental costs are high, and we are eight people living in the household?
 
 
 
 
 

If owning the apartment/house is done through the same institution/project then it is permissible, but if this took place through usurious banks then it is impermissible, since dealing with usurious transactions is unlawful. And Allah Knows Best.

What should a sick person, who is incapable of fasting, and who didn`t make up for missed fasting days, do?

One who has missed fasting days is obliged to make up for them, but if he/she wasn`t able to because of an incurable disease , or old age, then he/she has to pay a ransom which is feeding a needy person for each of the missed fasting days. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the expiation for being forced to give a false testimony in order to achieve reform?

Achieving reform is done by following the way of Allah through giving back rights to whom they belong. Therefore, repenting to Allah from false testimony is only achieved by abrogating it, and the person in question should expiate for that oath if he had taken it, so that Allah may forgive him.

I can`t afford to get married, what should I do to curb my sexual drives?

You should offer a lot of voluntary fasting, keep busy with useful and permissible acts and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.
