Resolution No.(113): “The Suit Filed against the Muslim Journalist who has Republished Cartoons Mocking the Prophet (PBUH)“

Date: 23/7/1427 AH, corresponding to 17/8/2006 AD.

 

 

The Board received the following question:

What`s the ruling of Sharia on the suit filed against the journalist Jihaad Al-Momani at Amman Sharia Court/ Cases Court before the judge Salah Shewayaat for the purpose of proving the apostasy of that journalist on charges of republishing the mocking cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH) at Sheehan weekly newspaper, when he was its editor in chief. This is in addition to his writing an article included in the same issue of that newspaper, where he criticized the violent response of Muslims to those images. The article is entitled: “Muslims of the world be patient! “

Answer: All success is due to Allah

The Board believes that since the above case is at bar, it is difficult to give an opinion in this regard without considering the details necessary for delivering a Sharia ruling. On the other hand, the Board has no right to summon someone for a hearing, because no request was made for obtaining a Fatwa from the Fatwa Board to that end. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the Sharia Court has the right of guardianship in the above case and that its rulings are subject to the oversight of the Sharia Court of Appeal. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on paying a sum of money to Saudi citizen in return of having Saudi residence? It is worth noting that this transation is labelled as a "worker's visa" but I am not going to work as such only to facilitate having it?

Allah The Almighty Says (What means): "O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful" [At-Tawbah/119]. False statements contradict truthfulness, and it is not permissible to write them. A Muslim has the right to live in any Islamic country, and those who prevent him will be accountable before Allah about their action and the justification for the prohibition. And Allah Knows Best.

My Husband Works as a Diver and most of His Client are non-Muslims. Is his work permissible or not?

There is no harm on his job. And Allah 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.

My headcloth is causing me a terrible headache and severe shortsightedness. Is it permissible for me to take it off?

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.
If the headcloth Khimar is harmful, it is sufficient to wear the Niqab (face-veil). However, with the passage of time you will get used to the Khimar and these symptoms will go away. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
