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

What is the ruling on making a false oath?

Making false oath indulges its maker in Hell; therefore, he is obliged to repent, ask Allah for forgiveness and make an expiation; feeding 10 poor or providing clothes for them and in case of incapability of doing any of latters he should fast for 3 consecutive days. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible to trim the eyebrows if they become excessively long?

Trimming eyebrows is permissible if they become excessively long, yet; it is reprehensible. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on giving my mother a gift at "Mother's day", is it Halal or Haram?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

There is nothing wrong with doing that as long as it isn`t done in imitation of the disbelievers. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on the cessation of blood after (40) days from delivery, but later continued sporadically during two days of Ramadan?

Once postpartum bleeding (Nifas) ceases, and the woman is certain that it won`t reoccur, then she becomes ritually pure and so she is free to make Ghusl (purificatory bath), pray, and fast. If the bleeding reoccurs before fifteen days from its cessation, and before the end of (60) days after delivery, then the ruling on postpartum bleeding is effective, and her fasting and prayer are null and void, thus she must make up the fasting that she missed and not the prayer during those particular days.
