Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 28-11-2016

Resolution No.(228)(12/2016) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Distributing Donations that haven`t Reached their  Destination"

Date: (8/Thulghidah/1437 AH), corresponding to (11/8/2016 AD).

 

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.

During its tenth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question of the Secretary-General of the Vocational Syndicates Complex , and it reads as follows:

Out of solidarity with the people of Gaza in the aftermath of the latest Israeli aggression against them, the Vocational Syndicates have launched fundraising campaign in their favor. As a result, many  projects have been executed in cooperation with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) such as: caravan houses, clothes for children, stationery, medical supplies, and the like. The latest of these projects was purchasing winter clothes for the children with a sum of (100,000)JDs. from the donations dedicated to the strip. In fact, these were sent in lorries after coordinating with the (JHCO); however, the Israeli authorities allowed a third into the strip and returned the rest. This is what we have been told by the (JHCO) who also told us that resending this shipment is impossible because the Israeli occupation could ban delivering any type of aid in the future. Moreover, it is also hard to keep these items at the warehouse of the (JHCO) for long; therefore, could you tell us the ruling of Sharia on redistributing these items amongst the poor and needy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan?

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

There is no harm that the (JHCO) distributes these items amongst the poor and needy in Jordan since donations and charities should be spent in the channel for which they have been raised in the first place. If that wasn`t possible, then they should be spent in a similar channel, for Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means): "Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope." {Al-Baqarah/286} and " for God suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;" {At-Tawbah/120}. In addition, the Prophet (PBUH) said: "You will be rewarded for what you intended" {Musnad Ahmad}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to wear trousers at home?

Wearing trousers at home isn't prohibited so long as non-Mahrams do not see her. And Allah Knows Best.

I am a doctor, and sometimes I refer patients to the hospital for surgical interventions, and they give me a commission from the fees of the surgeries, even though I do not perform these surgeries. What is the ruling?

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 this commission is charged to the patient as part of the operation costs, then it is not permissible. Additionally, a doctor should only recommend surgery if there is a genuine medical need, and the hospital should only perform an operation when necessary. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

What should one who made an intention, at night, to make up for a missed fasting day, but broke his fast on the next day?

One who started making up a missed fasting day, then broke his/her fast without a legitimate reason is considered sinful, and is only obliged to make up for the missed fasting days. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to offer the Eid sacrifice in a non-Muslim country?

Eid sacrifice is permissible anywhere, and Islamic Sharia hasn`t determined that it should be in an Islamic country, but poor Muslims should be given a share in order for it to be valid since it is an act of worship. A portion of that Eid sacrifice should be given at least to one poor Muslim, and if that wasn`t possible then the one offering it should consume it along with his family.
