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

Is Zakah due on the orphan`s money?

Yes, Zakah is due on the money of the orphan.

A sixteen-year-old young woman suffers from Alopecia, and lost her hair and eyebrows as a result. Is it allowed to draw her eyebrows using henna and an eyeliner? 

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.
It is permissible for women to use henna and what the asker has mentioned isn`t considered hair extension. However, if this young woman is proposed to, she must disclose this matter to the person proposing to her to avoid deception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

Is it permissible to delay menses by using medication in order to fast Ramadhaan?

It is permissible for a woman to use medication in order to delay her menses so that it becomes eligible for fasting Ramadhaan, but it is better that she doesn`t do so, and taking the medication is prohibited if she, or her doctors knew that it involves risk on her health. And Allah Knows Best.

 Is Hyena's Meat Permissible or Impermissible?

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.
There is disagreement amongst the jurists as regards the ruling on eating hyena`s meat. Shafi`i and Hanabli jurists are of the view that eating hyena`s meat is permissible. The proof is the Hadith related by Al-Baihaqhi on the authority of Ibn Abi Ammar who said: "I asked Jabir bin Abdulla about hyenas, and he told me to eat them. I said: "Is it not game? He said: 'Yes' I said: 'Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes."  And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
