Resolution No.(18) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies: 
"Ruling on Islamic Mudarabah for Social Solidarity"
Date: 10/5/1411 AH, corresponding to 27/11/1990

We have received the following question:

What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on Islamic Mudarabah (co-partnership) for social solidarity and investment for protecting employers, Rahn (security) and students?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

Over several sessions, the Board has reviewed the above system of Mudarabah. After thorough examination of its particulars pertaining to the protection of employers, Rahn and students, the Board found that they involve no violation to the rules of Islamic Sharia; therefore, it approves them as they are. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is Tarawih prayer?

Tarawih prayer is the night prayer (Qiyam) performed during the month of Ramadan. It is called "Tarawih" because Muslims used to prolong the standing (qiyam) in it and take brief rests after every four rak‘ahs.

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.

What is the ruling on someone who curses the religion or commits an act of disbelief during the day in Ramadan?

Whoever apostatizes (leaves Islam) while fasting, their fast is invalid. Cursing the religion is an act of apostasy (may Allah protect us from it). Such a person must return to Islam by pronouncing the Shahadah (testimony of faith), seek Allah’s forgiveness, refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and make up for that day’s fast later.

What is the Islamic punishment for the one who neglects prayer?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Neglecting the prayer (Salah) is among the major sins (Al-Kaba’ir). One who neglects it out of laziness is considered a transgresor (Fasiq), while one who neglects it while denying its obligation is a disbeliever (Kafir). And Allah the Exalted knows best.
