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

What is the ruling on someone who insults or deceives others while fasting?

Insulting or deceiving others is forbidden (haram) and diminishes the reward of fasting.
The Prophet ﷺ warned against deception, saying: "Whoever deceives is not one of us." [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
However, their fast remains valid despite the sin.

Is it permissible for an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or someone with a chronic illness to pay fidyah before Ramadan begins?

It is not permissible for an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or someone with a chronic illness to pay fidyah before Ramadan begins.
Additionally, it is not allowed to pay fidyah for more than one day in advance, because fidyah is a substitute for fasting, and fasting is not yet obligatory at that time.
However, it is permissible to pay fidyah for a single day in advance, by analogy with paying zakat up to one year in advance.

What is the ruling on one who feels drops of urine falling during ablution?

If he is certain that urine is exiting from him during ablution, then his ablution is invalidated. He must remove the impurity from his clothes and body and repeat the ablution.
However, if what he feels regarding urine exiting is merely doubt or illusion, then ablution is not invalidated by doubt and illusion. He should not pay attention to it, and it is not permissible for him to follow the doubt and whispers that corrupt his religion. And Allah the almighty knows best.

Is the marriage, which lacks a valid legal contract, a guardian, and a court registration, valid?

It is incumbent that a valid marriage contract be concluded in the presence of a guardian and two trustful witnesses, and it should be registered in the court to protect the rights of the wife. Actually, a valid marriage contract is what differentiates between sound marriage and fornication.
