Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 11-10-2015

 

Resolution No.(168)(9/2011) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling  when Members of Voluntary Administrative Bodies Make use of the Free Offers Made to these Bodies"

Date: 25/9/1432 AH, corresponding to 25/8/2011 AD.

 

Praise be to Allah, peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.

During its twelfth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the following question:

We are a nine-teacher committee, five of whom are elected and four are appointed by the Ministry of Education. It is called "The Administrative Body of the Tafilah Teachers` Club."

We offer free voluntary services to the club and the teachers. The club runs an Umrah (Minor Hajj) journey through certain travel agencies and the teachers willing to go should pay the fare.

Is it permissible for a member of the administrative body to take that journey for free? Is it permissible to condition that the travel agency provides two free seats for the administrative body and the staff of the club in return for guiding and supervising that journey?

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

If the administrative body conditioned that the travel agency provides two free seats or more (Travel agencies usually give free seats as a kind of promotion), then that is permissible provided that the fare of those free seats is equally divided amongst those making the Umrah journey and that the members of the above committee don`t take advantage of those seats and exclude the teachers. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Was Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) baptized?

It is established that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was circumcised on the eighth day after his birth, as was the case with all children of the Children of Israel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

I`m a mother of three orphans. Is it permissible for me to spend on myself from their salary, such as buying a Jilbab*?

All perfect 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.
It is permissible to take a reasonable amount that is equal to your services to them. However, it is better that you don`t. The evidence on this is that Almighty Allah Says (What means): "Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is God in taking account." [An-Nisa`/6]. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
* A full-length outer garment, traditionally covering the head and hands, worn in public by some Muslim women.

Is it permissible for a woman to die her hair black?

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.
It is permissible for a woman to dye her hair with other than black at any time she likes, even during Ramadan since applying the dye doesn`t invalidate the fast. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is Lease-to-own through Islamic Bank Permissible?

Lease-to-own is a controversial issue among  contemporary Muslim scholars; we (Iftaa Dept.) advise you and in order to be on the safe side to conclude this sale transaction through Murabaha contract. And Allah Knows Best.
