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

Is it permissible for me to eat from the animal that I slaughtered for Allah to protect my family?

It is permissible to eat from the non-vowed animal sacrifice, and the person is rewarded based on the amount of meat that he had given to the poor. However, there is no evidence in Islamic Sharia indicating that slaughtering an animal protects one`s family, but it is a way for thanking Allah, The Almighty, for his grace.

How should a person who is afflicted with continued major ritual impurity (incontinence of urine, bleeding outside the monthly period) perform ablution?

Such a person should make ablution for every prayer after its due time and after removing impurities from their body and outfit, and should place a fresh diaper whenever needed so as for the impurity not to spread out. They should also perform prayer immediately even if incontinence of urine continued, and should repeat the aforementioned for every obligatory prayer, then perform optional prayer as much as they want.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on the money saved for marriage?

Zakah is due on the money saved for marriage if it reached the Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a whole lunar year had lapsed over possessing it.

Is it permissible for a woman to perform the obligatory prayer immediately after the adhan and before the Iqamah is performed in the mosque?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Yes, it is permissible for a woman to perform the obligatory (Fard) prayer immediately after the Adhan (call to prayer) and before the Iqamah (call to commence prayer) is performed in the mosque. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
