Resolution No.(25) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies: "Ruling on the Mechanism of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company Employees' Saving Fund"

Date: 16/4/1413 AH, corresponding to 13/10/1992 AD.

We have received the following question: 
What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on the Mechanism of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company employees` saving fund?

Answer: All of Success is Due to Allah:
Sums that an employee takes from his salary, deductions from his pay, and equal sums paid by his company are all Halal (legal).
As regards profits, they are classified as follows: 
Profits that come from a Halal investment are Halal, such as: Company`s stocks and funds deposited in Islamic banks; whereas, those which come from a Haram (illegal) investment are Haram, such as: interests taken from non-Islamic banks and profits of companies that deal in Haram transactions.
In order for an employee to be on the safe side, he should seek the assistance of the financial officers and see what they think is most probable to be Halal money.
On the other hand, the Board is of the view that the illegal profits should be given to the poor and needy, even if they were his relatives whom he isn`t obliged to provide for and he is financially capable. This is because it isn`t permissible that he benefits from that illegal money directly or indirectly. Moreover, that money should also be spent on public projects.
The Board warns that in principle the mechanisms employed by such saving funds must comply with the rules of Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Should a woman who broke her fast because of delivery make up for missed fasting days before the next Ramadhaan, and what is the expiation due on her in case she delayed making up for them ?

She should make up for missed fasting days before the start of next Ramadhaan if possible, but if she didn`t while being able to, then she is obliged to make up for them along with feeding a needy person for each delayed day of the missed fasting days. However, if she wasn`t able to make up for the missed fasting days before the start of next Ramadhaan, she has to fast a day for every day that she missed, and no ransom is due on her.

I am pregnant with more four twins since two months although I didn't have childbearing potential during the last four years. In addition, the doctor specialized in reprusccusions, already has notified me about the possible reprusccusions as a result of being pregnant with four twins as follows: abortion, metrorrhagia, premature birth, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes and the like. What is the ruling on aborting some of the aforementioned embryos? A medical report was attached in which the status of my question is clarified.

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
If the existence of the four embryos leads to critical reprusccusions on mother's health, pose a threat over her life or abort all of her embryos, then aborting some of them is permissible to ward off some of those risks stipulated that the ages of the embryos don't exceed four months. And Allah Knows Best.
             

 

I am a disabled woman who has vaginal discharges and can`t control her urine. Therefore, I combine prayers. Is that permissible?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions. According to the Hanbali doctrine, it is permissible for the sick to combine prayers. In your case(Asker), it is better that you delay the noon prayer until a few minutes before the afternoon prayer in order to minimize the time span between the two and perform each alone. In addition, you can do the same with sunset and evening prayers. Finally, we ask Allah to bless you with recovery. And Allah knows best.
