What is the ruling of Sharia on leasing an endowed estate as a coffee shop that serves carbonated beverages and hookah?

Answer: All of success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided the following:

It is permissible to the leasee of an endowed estate to run it as a coffee-shop for serving carbonated beverages and hookah provided that he doesn`t use it for any illegal purpose, such as serving alcoholic drinks, playing cards, gambling, and mixing between the two sexes. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Can a woman perform I‘tikaf in her home?

No, a woman's I‘tikaf is not valid if performed at home, because her home is not a mosque.

Does undergoing an endoscopy during the day in Ramadan affect the validity of fasting?

Undergoing an endoscopic procedure during the day in Ramadan—whether through the mouth, nose, front private part, or back private part—invalidates the fast.
Whoever undergoes such a procedure must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day after Ramadan.

What is the ruling on a person who insists on praying in a specific spot and becomes angry if someone else prays there?

ruling on a person who persists in praying in a specific spot and becomes angry if someone else occupies it

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Our Master the Prophet ﷺ forbade a man from habitually claiming a specific spot in the mosque as a camel claims its place (to sit); scholars consider this to be among the disliked matters (Makruhat). It is therefore obligatory to advise this individual that whoever arrives at a spot first has the most right to it. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

Is it permissible for the young woman to turn the suitor down if she had no feelings for him?

Yes, it is permissible for her to do so.
