Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 12-11-2015

Resolution No.(182)(15/2012) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Linking the Rent with a Changing Parameter"

Date: 23/12/1433 AH, corresponding to 8/11/2012 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  linking the rent with a changing parameter.

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided what follows:

Linking rents with changing parameters is one of the modern forms employed by markets to overcome the fluctuation of prices; particularly, long term rents where prices of apartments vary and values differ in accordance with the factors affecting the market.

Therefore, the Board sees no harm in linking the rent with a specific parameter by which the contracting parties are governed when determining the amount of the rent at the beginning of long term leases, because it averts dispute and deception.

Since Muslim scholars have permitted hiring a worker in return for food and clothing, hiring a reaper in return for a fixed amount of the crop as well as selling and leasing according to the market price, or the standard price, then it is axiomatic that it is permissible to lease items (apartments, cars...etc.) against a rent which is linked with a certain financial parameter. And Allah Knows Best.

Decision Number [ Previous | Next ]


Summarized Fatawaa

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.

What is the ruling of Sharia on tubal ligation?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Undergoing tubal ligation* to protect the mother`s health is permissible provided that this procedure is performed based on professional opinion of trustworthy medical doctors. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 

*Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are permanently blocked, clipped or removed. This prevents the fertilization of eggs by sperm and thus the implantation of a fertilized egg. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization and birth control.

 

 

What is the ruling on cheating to pass High School Exams?

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.
 
The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever cheats, he/she isn`t one of us." [Moslim]. You should study hard in order to pass and excel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
