Resolution No.(236)(4/2017) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Selling the Encroached upon Part of the Graveyard"

Date: (27/Shaaban/1438), corresponding to(24/5/2017).

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.

On its fifth session held on the above date, the Board has reviewed the letter sent from His Excellency Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Dr. Wa`eil Arabiat, and reads as follows:

I have enclosed a copy of the Awqaf Board`s resolution No.(8/12/2016), (20/12/2017 AD)about permitting the sale of (9.71) Meters from the endowed plot No.(2081), Al-Abiad (9). This is in addition to a copy of the inspection report approved by the Mufti of Zarqa Governorate, and in coordination with the official committee from your respected Dept. and the report of the Awqaf`s Properties Committee. Could you clarify the ruling of Sharia on this matter so as for the Ministry to carry on with the administrative and legal procedures?

After deliberations, the Board decided the following:

Based on the inspection report conducted by the committee in question and the fact that the part of the graveyard on which the building was set up contained no graves and taking into consideration that the graveyard is very old, the Board believes that it is permissible to sell that part after making sure that the land isn`t endowed by a particular endower or for a particular purpose. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

If the menses lasted for over than 9 to 10 days, considered menstruation?

If the duration of the bleeding does not exceed fifteen days, it is all considered menstruation, even if the usual pattern changes.

What is the ruling of Sharia on male doctor delivering a baby?

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.
The person most entitled to deliver a baby is a Muslim woman, then a woman from the People of the Book, then a woman from the disbelievers, then a Muslim man, then a man from the People of the Book. However, if there was no woman to deliver the baby, then it is permissible for a male doctor do deliver it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is permissible for the husband to do as far as having sex with his wife is concerned?

The couple are free to enjoy each other sexually provided that they don`t do it during menses. It is also forbidden for the husband to enjoy the wife from her anus.

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.
