Resolution No.(182): "Ruling on Linking the Rent with a Changing Parameter"

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.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on leaving the Sunnah prayer of Dhuhr due to fatigue?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
According to the general rule, a Muslim should strive to maintain the Sunnah prayers before and after the obligatory prayers (al-sunan al-qabliyyah wa al-ba'diyyah). One is permitted to pray them sitting from the outset, but if one leaves them due to severe fatigue, there is no objection to doing so. It is recommended (mustahabb) to make up (qadā') a time-bound supererogatory prayer (nafl mu'aqqat) at any time if it was missed.
Al-Shirbīnī (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If a time-bound supererogatory prayer is missed, it is recommended to make it up according to the more authoritative view (al-azhar), based on the hadith recorded in the two Ṣaḥīḥs: 'Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it should pray it when he remembers it.' This is also supported by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made up the two rak'ahs of Fajr when he and his companions overslept in the valley and missed the dawn prayer until the sun had risen [narrated by Abū Dāwūd with an authentic chain]." And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

What is the ruling on using eye drops while fasting?

Eye drops do not break the fast, even if the taste reaches the throat, because the eye is not an open passage to the body cavity.

Does an internal medical examination for a woman affect her fast?

An internal medical examination for a woman invalidates the fast because it involves the entry of a foreign object into the body cavity (jauf) while fasting.
In this case, the woman must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for Ramadan and make up for the missed fast after Ramadan.
Such an examination should be avoided in Ramadan and other months unless absolutely necessary, as exposing the private parts is only permissible in cases of necessity.
If necessary, a woman should seek a Muslim female doctor first. If one is unavailable, she may see a female doctor from the People of the Book (Jews and Christians). If neither is available, she may consult a trustworthy and competent Muslim male doctor.

What is the meaning of the word aqiqah?

 

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
The 'aqīqah in its linguistic sense refers to the hair upon the head of a newborn at the time of birth.
In its Sharī'ah sense, it refers to the livestock that is slaughtered on behalf of a newborn child.
And Allah Almighty knows best.
