Resolution No.(47): “Ruling on Giving Cash Prizes to Encourage the Audience to Attend Football Matches“

Date: 15/10/1421 AH corresponding to 10/1/2001 AD.

 

The Board has received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on organizing a program for cash and in-kind prizes through stadium entering tickets, in accordance with the following:

The first part of the ticket:

Cash prizes through "scratch and win" to motivate sport fans to purchase tickets to attend matches. This idea also promotes tickets and makes them more desirable and so the ordinary people will be encouraged to buy them and attend matches.

The second part of the ticket:

This part is for entering matches, and there will be in-kind prize drawing during matches to encourage the audience to attend.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the sponsoring company will provide gifts in return for placing its logo or advertisements on the ticket.

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board deems that this activity is permissible within the following terms:

1- The price of the ticket doesn`t exceed that determined by the Jordanian Football Federation because of the prizes, so that no extra money is charged against participating in the prize drawing.

2- Making sure that the prizes are provided by the sponsor.

3- The ticket must be purchased with the sole intention of attending the match. 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is the ruling when the monthly period when exceeding (15) days?

The maximum duration of menstruation is 15 days. If it exceeds this, it is considered irregular bleeding (Istihada). In this case, one must perform ghusl (Ritual bath) after menstruation, pray, and make wudu for each prayer after its time begins. She should return to her previous menstrual habit regarding duration and timing. For example, if her period used to be from the 20th to the 27th of each month, this is considered her menstruation period. Anything before or after this is Istihada, during which she only leaves prayer and fasting for the habitual menstrual days, then performs ghusl and resumes praying.

What is the ruling on loudly sending prayers on the Prophet (PBUH ) after the call for prayer Athaan?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                            Sending prayers on the Prophet after Athaan is a Sunnah for the Mou`zen (caller for prayer ) and the hearer. However, there is no harm in doing it loudly after the end of Athaan, but sometimes, it shouldn`t so that people wouldn`t think that it is an integral part of the Athaan. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling when a woman forsakes her husband in bed because he doesn`t pray regularly?

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.
He must pray regularly so as not to be admitted into Hell; however, you must obey him in lawful matters even if he doesn`t pray on regular basis because he is considered a disobedient Muslim and not an infidel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
