Resolution No.(134) (14/2009): "Ruling on the Second Sa`y in Hajj-at-Tamattu"

 

Date: 30/12/1430 AH, correspondng to 17/12/2009 AD

 

 

All perfect praise be to Allah. Blessings and peace be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon his family and companions.

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed, in its fifth session held on (30/12/1430 A.H)-(17/12/2009 A.D), the question concerning the Islamic ruling on offering  the  second Sa`y, after Tawaaf Al-Ifadaah, by the pilgrims who are performing the Tamattu type of Hajj.

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

In principle, a pilgrim performing the Hajj of Tamattu must assume the Ihraam of Umrah first and perform all its pillars and obligations such as: Tawaaf (circling the Kabbah), Sa`y, shaving hair, or shortening it , then get into  the state of  Tahallul (freedom to take off the Ihraam or leave it). After that, he must assume the Ihraam again for Hajj, and perform all its pillars and obligations such as Tawaaf, Sa`y and else since Hajj and Umrah are two independent acts of worship which can`t make up for each other. Allah, The Exalted, Says in the Holy Quran (What means): “And complete the Hajj or ’Umra in the service of God." {Al-Baqarqh/196}. Therefore, the Sa`y which he offered during Umrah doesn`t compensate for the Sa`y of Hajj since each act of worship must include a Sa`y of its own.

The above is the opinion of the four juristic schools: the Hanafites, the Malikites, the Shafites, and it is the preponderant opinion of the Hanbalites. In the Harams of Mecca and Medinah, Fatwaas are delivered in line with this opinion based on what the Prophet`s companions, who performed the Hajj of Tamattu, did at his time. He (PBUH) said (what means): “Make the intention of assuming Ihraam for Umrah first, and perform all its pillars and obligations, then get out of the state of Ihram. Afterwards, assume the Ihraam again for Hajj and perform all its pillars and obligations. “{Bukhari}. Allah, The Almighty, Said in this regard (What means): “He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return." {Al-Baqarah/196}.

It is incumbent on every Muslim to follow what has been confirmed in the authentic Sunnah and applied by the Muslim jurists because it is more cautious in performing acts of worship such as Hajj since a Muslim sacrifices the most precious to perform this great act. Therefore, he needs not risk his Hajj and violate the followed opinions of the Muslim jurists. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

1- A young man whose father and grandfather are dead. Unfortuntly, he passedaway leaving a mother, two sisters and a brother. Do his paternal uncles inherit him? 2- A man died leaving daughters, a wife, brothers, a mother or no mother. It is well known that the daughters inherit two thirds and the wife one eighth. To whom does the rest of the estate go and what is the evidence on that from the texts of Sharia?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
1- The full brother or the paternal half-sibling disinherits the paternal uncles. The paternal half-sibling takes one sixth and because they are from the Asabah (Male relatives on the father`s side) of the deceased they take the rest of the estate. The proof of this is that Ibn ‘Abbas (May Allah Be Pleased with them) reported God’s Messenger (PBUH) as saying: "Give the shares to those who are entitled to them, and what remains over goes to the nearest male heir." [Agreed upon]. In this case, nothing is left to them.
2- The brothers take the rest of the deceased`s estate and the full brother disinherits the paternal half-sibling, and the proof of this is the aforementioned narration. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Which hour coincides with the last third of the night?

This hour could be figured out by calculating the number of night hours which start at sunset, and end at dawn break, then the total is divided on three to get the result.

What is the ruling of Sharia on exfoliating the skin on the face?

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.
According to medical doctors, exfoliation means removing a layer of skin to expose new skin. If this procedure is harmless then it is permissible since this is a kind of treatment and not skinning. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
