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 of Islamic Law on a latecomer who joins the imam during the standing position of the first rakʿah but was unable to complete the recitation of al-Fātiḥah?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
If a latecomer (masbuq) joins the prayer while the imam is standing, he should begin reciting Sūrat al-Fātiḥah immediately, without pausing to recite the opening supplication (duʿāʾ al-istiftāḥ) or the seeking of refuge (taʿawwudh). If the imam bows before he completes al-Fātiḥah, he follows the imam into the bow and leaves whatever remains of al-Fātiḥah — the imam bears it on his behalf.
It is stated in ʿUmdat al-Sālik (p. 47): "If a latecomer finds the imam standing and is confident that he has enough time to recite the taʿawwudh and al-Fātiḥah in full, he may do so. If he is uncertain, he should neither recite the opening supplication nor the taʿawwudh, but rather begin directly with al-Fātiḥah. If the imam bows before he completes it, he follows him into the bow — provided he had not already begun the opening supplication or the taʿawwudh. If he had begun either of them, he continues reciting al-Fātiḥah for as long as he spent on them." And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Is it obligatory to have the intention for each day of fasting, or is one intention sufficient for the whole month?

The intention is obligatory for each day of Ramadan because each day is an independent act of worship separate from the others.
The intention must be made at night before the break of dawn, as the Prophetﷺ said: "Whoever does not intend fasting at night, there is no fast for him." [An-Nasa’i] 
And he also said: "Whoever does not firmly resolve to fast before dawn, there is no fast for him." [At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, and An-Nasa’i]
Whoever wakes up and eats Suhoor while mindful of fasting has made the intention. Likewise, one who firmly intends at any moment during the night to fast the next day has also fulfilled the intention.

What is the ruling on istibra' and how is it performed?

Istibra' (cleansing from urine) is recommended. It is for a person to ensure that nothing remains of urine in its passage before performing istinja'. Its method is: to clear the throat (or cough slightly), shake the penis (meaning to pass fingers along it to expel any remaining urine if needed), and walk a few steps to the extent that one thinks nothing of urine remains if walking is needed. Each person knows his own nature best. The preferred opinion is that this differs among people. The objective is for one to think that nothing remains in the urinary passage that he fears will exit later. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Is it permissible to offer prayer at home, or should it be offered in the mosque?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                      It isn`t preferable for the man to pray at home as praying in the mosque is twenty seven times more rewarding. Therefore, this should motivate him to offer prayers in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.
