Date Added : 31-05-2017

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

My husband told me that he concluded our marriage with a fake name that belongs to another person, because he was sentenced. Nowadays, he recieved an ID, passport and birth certificate with the his current name. What is the ruling on being married to him?

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.  As regards being married to the person mentioned in your question: The marriage is valid so long as he was the same person your guardian concluded the marriage with, even if he changed his name i.e. if your marriage contract was concluded with the same person, since what counts regarding marriage is the persons not names. And Allah Knows Best.

 

What is the ruling of Sharia on using IUD (Intrauterine device) temporarily and by mutual agreement of husband and wife?

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.
There is nothing wrong with this if this device is used on temporary basis and by mutual agreement of husband and wife since this issue falls into family planning, which is allowed by Sharia. However, this is provided that the device is inserted by a female doctor and that it doesn`t cause harm to the woman. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a girl to wear colored contact lenses?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Wearing colored contact lenses for medical treatment is permissible, and wearing them as an adornment is also permissible, provided that she isn`t seen while having them on by non-Mahrams. And Alalh Knows Best.

If the imam does not leave time for reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, is the recitation of Al-Fatihah waived for the follower?

The recitation of Al-Fatihah is not waived for the follower. They should recite it silently, even if it causes a slight delay in following the imam in bowing (Ruku'). And Allah Knows Best.
