Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 01-12-2015

Resolution No.(163)(1/2011) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on the Sukuk of Ijarah Ending in Ownership Issued by Al-Rajihi Cement Company"

Date: 25/3/1432 AH, corresponding to 28/2/2011

 

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 date, the Board reviewed the question of Al-Rajihi Cement Company-Jordan regarding the Sukuk of Ijarah ending in ownership.

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided what follows:

Taskeek is issuing documents, or financial certificates of equal value as indefinite shares in existing assets (properties, benefits, rights, or a mixture of properties, benefits, money, and debts), or will be established by virtue of initial public offering, and are issued in accordance with a Sharia-compliant contract.

Having reviewed the mechanism of issuing those Sukuk, the Board decided that they are permissible in Sharia, provided that the assets of the Ijarah are sold to the tenant for a reasonable price at the end of the leasing (Ijarah) period. Moreover, there must be no capital assurance by either party, and the Sharia rules sanctioned by the Sharia Supervisory Committee must be adhered to. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on not offering prayer in a nearby mosque, and going to a distant one?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Praying in the nearby mosque takes precedence unless there was a circle of knowledge, or a larger congregation in the distant mosque provided that the congregational prayer in the nearby mosque isn`t undermined. And Allah Knows Best.

What should a sick person, who is incapable of fasting, and who didn`t make up for missed fasting days, do?

One who has missed fasting days is obliged to make up for them, but if he/she wasn`t able to because of an incurable disease , or old age, then he/she has to pay a ransom which is feeding a needy person for each of the missed fasting days. And Allah Knows Best.

A man who was on travel prayed Duhr as four Rakhas upon leaving Tafilah heading to Amman. However, on his way to Amman, he prayed Asir as two Rakhas (Shortened). Is what he did correct from an Islamic perspective?

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.
What he did is correct; he is liable for nothing before Allah The Almighty, since combining and shortening prayers during travel are two separate concessions. Therefore, it is permissible for a traveler to shorten prayer without combining it with another. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on praying behind an undesirable Imam?

It is permissible to pray behind an Imam who is undesirable for committing religious violations, and it is disliked for such an Imam to lead the prayer. Still, If he was undesirable for a personal, or a worldly matter, then such argument doesn’t hold water. And Allah Knows Best.
