Resolution No.(163): "Ruling on the Sukuk of Ijarah Ending in Ownership Issued by Al-Rajihi Cement Company"

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

Is it permissible for the wife to give the Zakah (obligatory charity) of her money to her poor husband?

Yes, it is permissible for the wife to give from the Zakah of her money to her poor husband. And Allah Knows Best.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on the money saved for marriage?

Zakah is due on the money saved for marriage if it reached the Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a whole lunar year had lapsed over possessing it.

What is the ruling on one who sees moisture on his clothes and doubts whether it is semen or pre-seminal fluid (madhy)?

Whoever finds moisture upon waking from sleep and doubts whether it is semen or madhy, and cannot distinguish between them, he may choose between them and act according to his choice. If he wishes, he can consider it semen and perform the ritual bath, or consider it madhy, perform ablution, and wash what it has soiled. This is because if he fulfills the requirement of one of them, he is definitively free from it, and the default is his innocence from the other. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

How should a person who is afflicted with continued major ritual impurity (incontinence of urine, bleeding outside the monthly period) perform ablution?

Such a person should make ablution for every prayer after its due time and after removing impurities from their body and outfit, and should place a fresh diaper whenever needed so as for the impurity not to spread out. They should also perform prayer immediately even if incontinence of urine continued, and should repeat the aforementioned for every obligatory prayer, then perform optional prayer as much as they want.
