Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 10-05-2017

Resolution No.(232)(16/2016) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Donations must be Given to Targeted Recipients" 

Date: (22/Rabi al Awal/1438 AH)-(22/12/2016 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 twelfth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question of the Secretary General of the Professional Associations` Complex, and it reads as follows: 

We would like to bring to your kind attention the fact that the Professional Associations Complex has carried out several fundraising campaigns in favor of our brothers in different troubled areas, such as Somalia, Gaza….etc, where part of the donations reached its targeted recipients while the remaining part was kept in the Complex`s safe deposit box. Is it permissible to distribute the latter amount among the poor and needy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, given the hard living conditions they are experiencing?

After deliberations, the Board ruled that charities and donations must be given to the party for which they were raised in the first place, and the party raising them must adhere to the conditions of the donors since it merely functions as [a proxy] and must deliver trusts to whom they belong  since Allah, The Almighty, Says in this regard (What means): "God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due." {An`Nisa`/58}.

Moreover, since the door is still open for delivering those donations to their targeted recipients, then it is imperative to do so as soon as possible; however, if that was impossible, then the Board believes that they should be transferred to the Zakat Fund or the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it Permissible to lighten the eyebrows (I.e. Dye them blond)?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
Lightening the eyebrows is applying dye to them, and it is permissible to dye hair with other than black. The proof of this is the Hadith related by Muslim on the authority of Jabir told that when Abu Quhafa (Abu Bakr’s father) was brought on the day of the Conquest of Mecca with his head and beard white like hyssop, the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Change this with something, but avoid black."
However, it isn`t permissible for a Muslim woman to show her ornament (Zeenah) in the presence of non-Mahram men (Men permissible for a woman to marry). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

What is the ruling of Sharia on giving the name "Wanas" to a child?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
That is all right so long as the name doesn`t imply something bad. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

After buying tires, I made an oath not to buy tires from a person. Afterwards, he offered his entire car for sale. What is the ruling on this?

If you bought the entire car and in order to be on the safe side, you should pay an expiation; feeding 10 poor people and the cost of feeding a person is half a JD. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on someone who perform their prayer after finishing it because they believe they missed a Rak'a, a prostration, or that they did not perform it correctly (thinking their prayer was invalid)?

If he was sure that his prayer is void then reperforming it is an obligation along with figuring out the reason of invalidity so long as this wasn't out of uncertainty. And Allah Knows Best.
