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 performing voluntary prayers during official working hours?

There is no harm if  there was break time during official working hours, but if not then it is impermissible. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to pluck her eyebrows, or to shave them and have a tattoo in their place?

It is forbidden for a woman to pluck her eyebrows, or to shave them and have a tattoo in their place since this is called (Nums), and the Prophet(PBUH) has cursed those who do it.

Is it permissible for me to eat from the animal that I slaughtered for Allah to protect my family?

It is permissible to eat from the non-vowed animal sacrifice, and the person is rewarded based on the amount of meat that he had given to the poor. However, there is no evidence in Islamic Sharia indicating that slaughtering an animal protects one`s family, but it is a way for thanking Allah, The Almighty, for his grace.

Is it lawful or unlawful to take payment of key money?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
If the lease contract has expired and the lessor refrained from renewing it, then the tenant is obliged to leave the property for nothing. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
