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

What is the amount of the Fitr Zakah (obligatory charity) of Ramadan?

The Fitr Zakah of Ramadhaan is a Sa` (2500 grams) from what the people of that country or state eat the most. And Allah Knows Best.

Does tooth extraction during the day in Ramadan break the fast?

Simply extracting a tooth during the day in Ramadan does not break the fast. However, if water or blood enters the body cavity, the fast becomes invalid.
Whoever's fast is invalidated in this way 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 later.
It is preferable to postpone the extraction until nighttime or after Ramadan if possible.

Is a wife considered divorced if her husband refused to go to bed with her (for sexual intercourse) for two months?

A wife doesn`t get divorced no matter for how long her husband refuses to have sex with her, and she had better go to court.

Is it permissible for a guardian (Big brother) to unlawfully stop his sister from getting married?

If the guardian denies her right in getting married for an unlawful reason, she should go to court in order to settle that matter, and the guardian is considered sinful in this case.
