Resolution No. (206)(16/2014), by The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Leasing an Endowment for Selling Smoking Supplies"

Date: 30/Zolqidah/1430AH, corresponding to 25/9/2014AD

 

All perfect praise is due 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 twelfth session held on Thursday(30/Zolqidah/1435 A.H)-(25/9/2014 A.D), the letter sent by His Excellency, the Director General of the Awqaf Funds Development Office, with which he has attached a petition submitted by the tenants of the endowed shop No.(554) located in the Nozhah area. They request changing the status of the commercial use of that shop from  selling artifacts and gifts into selling smoking supplies. We hope that Your Grace would take this matter into consideration and provide the Islamic ruling as far as the tenants request is concerned.

After careful study and deliberation, the board determined what follows:

It isn`t permissible to rent a commercial shop for selling smoking supplies because of its harm on people`s health, and since it has been  confirmed by medical researches as a main cause for fatalities worldwide. Almighty Allah, 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-Maie`da/2}.

Therefore, we advise the Awqaf Funds Development Office to avoid such kind of investment and avert every suspicious matter that could reach the money of the Waqf (endowment), which was founded as Sadaqa Jariah (an on going charity) for the sake of Allah since He is good and accepts not but what is good. And Allah Knows Best.

Decision Number [ Previous | Next ]


Summarized Fatawaa

 Should a person who doesn’t offer Tasbeehb (saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood) during Rukoo` and Sujood perform As-Sahw Sujood (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/ she doesn`t have to perform Sujood As-Sahw, whether he/she didn`t offer Tasbeeh during Rukoo` and Sujood either intentionally ,or unintentionally, provided that the attentiveness of the heart wasn`t undermined since it is a pillar in both.

What is the ruling on cheating to pass High School Exams?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever cheats, he/she isn`t one of us." [Moslim]. You should study hard in order to pass and excel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Talking to one's fiancée in Ramadan with romantic talk may lead to arousal, and if pre-ejaculate fluid (Madhy) is discharged as a result, it does not break the fast. However, it is advised to avoid actions that provoke desire and lead to this outcome. If semen (Mani) is discharged as a result, it does break the fast.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

The discharge of Madhy doesn't invalidate one's fasting but it invalidates the ablution and his clothes must be washed because they are impure in this case. As for Mani, it breaks one's fast and making up invalidataed  is obligatory, beside; a Muslim suitor should abstain from these matters during Ramadan and not to degrade the holy month to this extent. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to move a grave from its current location to another place, for example, from a garden in a home to a cemetery, knowing that the grave has been there for a long time, about fifty years?

It is not permissible to move the deceased from his grave, as this may result in breaking his bones and violating his sanctity. Such actions are not allowed. And Allah Knows Best.
