Date Added : 28-10-2015

 

Resolution No.(73): “Deducting a Percentage from Vouchers' Value Given to Drivers for Collecting them on their Behalf“

Date: 17/2/1425 AH corresponding to 7/4/2004 AD.

 

The Board received the following question:

What is the ruling when (Aqaba Voucher Encashment Agencies for Freight Drivers) collect the sums of vouchers given to freight drivers from the (Jordan United Transport) with deducting (5%) against the effort they exert in doing that?
Answer: All success is due to Allah.
The Board is of the view that it is impermissible for the above agencies to take a percentage of the collected sums (in accordance with the manner stated above) because this transaction is parallel to usurious loaning and bill discounting. However, it is permissible for the above agencies to charge a fixed sum, not related to any percentage from the amounts due to owners or drivers of trucks, against collecting these amounts on their behalf, whether these amounts are big or small since both entail the same effort. Moreover, it is permissible for these agencies to pay the owners and drivers of these trucks the amounts due to them as a good will loan, to be collected later. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature after waking up?

Washing front and back openings (Istinjaa`) is not a condition for the validity of ablution because it is done to remove Najaasah (impurity), thus if there is no Najaasah, there is no need for that, and then it is permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature. However, prayer is invalidated if there is Najaasah on the anus ,or the front opening, so it (Najaasah) must be removed for the prayer to become valid, and not the ablution.

Is it permissible for a young man and a young woman to enter into a covenant as a married couple without having a true seclusion (Khalwah) until their marriage contract is officially concluded?

The relation which isn`t based on a marriage contract is forbidden, and entering into a covenant as a married couple is unaccounted for and is from the evil suggestions of the devil.

How does a praying person prostrate?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is from Sunnah that he/she sits with both knees on the ground in order to prostrate, then hands, nose and forehead are placed on the same place. In addition, the toes have to touch the ground, and be directed towards the Qiblah (direction of Ka`bah) during prostration. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on a vowed animal sacrifice?

A vowed animal sacrifice is to be distributed amongst the poor and needy, and neither the vow-maker, nor those supported by him are to eat from it.
