Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 28-10-2015

Resolution No.(29): “Ruling of Sharia on the UN General Assembly`s Convention on Consent to Marriage“

Date: 7/9/1412 AH corresponding to 11/3/1993 AD.

 

The Board has received the following question:

What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on the UN General Assembly`s Convention on Consent to Marriage?

Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Almighty.

The Board is of the view that the convention relies in its preamble on that which violates the provisions of Islamic Sharia as well as the consensus of Muslim scholars for it states that: “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and found a family.“

 

Still, it is axiomatic that Islamic Sharia forbids the marriage of a Muslim woman from a non-Muslim, and considers such marriage invalid.

In addition, the above provision is in violation of the provisions of the Jordanian Constitution, particularly articles (2,103,105), which stipulate implementing the rules of Islamic Sharia as regards personal status issues such as marriage and the rulings pertaining to it.

The UN General Assembly`s provision also violates the effective Jordanian Civil Status law, particularly article (33).

As a result, the Board unanimously agrees on disapproving this convention, and doesn`t recommend entering into it or approving of it since the H.K.J is distinguished with its wise Hashemite leadership. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What should a person, who delayed making up missed fasts of last Ramadan due to the continuance of the same excuse, do?

It is permissible for one, whose excuse for not making up missed fasts of last Ramadhaan has continued, to delay fasting until the excuse ceases to exist, and he is considered neither sinful, nor obligated to pay a ransom. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to single out Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to make up for missed fasting without fasting a day before ,or after each ?

Yes, it is permissible to make up for missed fasting during the aforesaid days, and it is also valid to offer non-obligatory and vowed fasting as well. However, fasting a day before or after each isn`t obligatory. 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.

Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to leave her house adorned and without wearing her proper Islamic attire?

A Muslim woman isn't permitted to leave her house adorned and without wearing proper Islamic attire. And Allah Knows Best.
