Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 02-11-2015

Resolution No.(161)(27/2010) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on the Cartoons Employed in Teaching the Rules of Islam"

Date: 17/1/1432 AH, corresponding to 23/12/2010 AD.

 

All perfect praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions:

During its  twelfth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the following question:

I would like to produce cartoons that teach children moral lessons, such as honesty and helping neighbors. This is done through drawing characters, making them move, walk and talk. This is in addition to the fact that these cartoons are an approximation and not close to what`s natural. Moreover, I work for a news agency where I draw and move electronic cards to send congratulations over various types of occasions. I also draw cartoons for didactic stories included in children`s magazines.

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

Cartoons which teach the rules of Islam, virtuous manners and Islamic etiquettes are permissible, because they have a positive influence on the formation of a child`s personality through developing his capabilities, enhancing creativity, enhancing religious and cultural information and teaching him standard Arabic.

If this is the theme of these cartoons, then there is no harm in watching and drawing them, because they are considered lawful educational facilities.

Prophetic Sunnah permits making dolls for children to play with; therefore, it is better to make cartoons that inscribe the Islamic education in the minds of the younger generation instead of those that contain violations to Islamic Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman whose menses exceeded (15) days to pray, fast and do what was prohibited on her to do during the latter period?

If the menses exceeded 15 days then it is deemed menstruation, and in this case she is obliged to pray and fast and to do what was impermissible for her to do during the latter period. In addition, she is obliged to make an ablution for each obligatory prayer after it's due time and making sure that impuity is removed. Finally, your menstruation period is over (Questioner) simlar to your menstruation in the previos month.

Is it permissible for a wife`s family to demand her husband to divorce her although she doesn`t want that?

It is forbidden for them to do that in case their daughter doesn`t want divorce unless there was a sin that continues as long as the marriage survives.

If a woman makes a vow to slaughter a sheep, and her husband is the one who buys it for her from his own money, and he says: "It is for you until you fulfill your vow with it," Is this permissible, or must she buy it herself from her own money?

If her husband gave her the sheep as a donation for the puprose of fulfilling the oath she made and was slaughtered by the wife or the husband on her behalf then the vow she made is fulfilled. And Allah Knows Best. 

 If a disposable water bottle has the logo (Al-Aziz Water Shop) ,is it allowed to throw it away considering that (Al-Aziz) is one of Allah`s beautiful names?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
You can remove some of the letters so that the word isn`t read as (Al-Aziz). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
