Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 21-12-2015

Resolution No.(217)(7/2015) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Irrigating with Treated Waste Water"

Date: 24/ Zolhijjah/1436 AH, corresponding to 8/10/2015 AD.

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

On the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by his Excellency, the Secretary-General of the Water Authority, Mr. Habashneh, and it reads as follows:

I would like to attract your attention to the fact that waste water treatment plants produce water in accordance with the latest international techniques that meet international and local standards.

It is important to use this water in line with the Jordanian waste water treatment quality standards, and for different uses; especially, the restricted irrigation, through securing large quantities of clean irrigation water. Would you clarify the opinion of Islamic Sharia on using treated waste water for irrigation?

After researching and deliberating, the Board arrived at the following view:

It is permissible to irrigate with treated waste water and to eat from the fruit of such plantation because the ruling pertaining to the fruit isn`t affected by whether the water is pure or impure. This is indicated by the question directed to Al-Imam An-Nawawi: "If the plantation and the fruit were irrigated with filthy water, or their soil was fertilized with it, is it lawful to eat their product? He replied: yes, it is." {Fatwas of An-Nawawi}.

However, it is imperative to abide by the sanitary regulations stipulated in this regard in order not to pollute the environment, ruin the plantation and the fruits, or cause harm to human beings. Moreover, scientific and medical standards should be observed as well. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Sharia when a man releases his sperm out of his wife`s vagina?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
This is called coitus interruptus and it is permissible according to Sharia when practiced by agreement of both spouses. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on looking at pictures of naked women via the internet?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is impermissible to look at pictures of naked women via the internet, and this act is forbidden according to Sharia. The proof of this is that Almighty Allah Says (What means): "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And God is well acquainted with all that they do." [An-Nur/30]. Therefore, we advise you to busy yourself with offering acts of obedience that draw you closer to Allah and prepare yourself for meeting Him on The Day of Judgment. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What should a person who doubted having missed a pillar of prayer do?

All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                              The prayer of one who doubts having missed one of its pillars is valid, and nothing is due on him/her since having a doubt after offering the act of worship doesn`t undermine its validity. And Allah Knows Best.

What is usually said upon the slaughtering of the Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth)?

It is desirable to say: "Bismillah Alrahman Alraheem, was`salatu Wa s`salamu Ala Sa`idenah Mohammad, O Allah, this Aqeeqah is from You and to You on behalf of ….."
