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 fourth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter sent from His Excellency, Minister of Awqaf Islamic Affairs and Holy Places, Dr. Abdulnaser Abulbasal, and it read as follows:

Could Your Grace present an indexed copy of the Noble Quran-printed by Al-Sahar Company/Egypt-to the Iftaa` Board to examine the possibility of putting it into circulation. This is based on recommendation by the Committee of the Noble Quran which met on Tuesday, Oct. 10th, 2017.

After reviewing the mentioned copy, and deliberating, the Board decided that there is no harm in putting it into circulation and making it accessible to the public. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does the time of Fajr (dawn) prayer start after the first Athaan (call for prayer), or the second one?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                    The time of Fajr prayer starts after the second Adhan. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to combine Zuhr and Asr prayers for being occupied with a wedding ceremony?

No, it isn`t permissible to combine Zuhr and Asr, or Maghrib and Isha because of being busy with a wedding since the exemption for combining prayers is based on lawful excuses, and this isn`t one of them. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a menopausal woman who has blood discharges to fast?

If she reached the age of menopause, and her menses stopped, but later she saw blood discharges that lasted a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is menstrual blood. Still, if these blood discharges lasted less than a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is not menstrual blood, but it is bleeding outside the monthly period (Istihadah), and it does not prevent her from prayer and fast, but she has to make ablution for every prayer.

How many pieces of cloth are used to enshroud a deceased man, and a deceased woman?

A deceased woman is enshrouded in five pieces of cloth: head cover, wrapper, shirt , and two folds of cloth. On the other hand, a deceased man is enshrouded with three pieces of cloth.
