Resolution No. (264): "Prohibition of Building Graveyard from Mosque`s Donations"

Date Added : 05-09-2018

Resolution No. (264) by the Board of Iftaa', Research and Islamic Studies:

"Prohibition of  Building Graveyard from Mosque`s Donations"

Date: (18/Thu Al-Hijjah/1439 AD), corresponding to (30/8/2018AH).

 

On its eleventh session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter sent from His Excellency, the Mayor of Barqash Municipality, and it read as follow: 

I have enclosed a letter from the Chairman of Khfur Rakeb`s Local Council in which he requested the ruling of Sharia on deducting a certain amount-from the donations raised in favor of Mos`ab Ibn Umayer's Mosque-to build an Islamic graveyard in that area since the old one is overcrowded. 
After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided the following:
It is impermissible to spend the donations in a purpose other than that for which they were raised since Mosques' Committees are entrusted with spending donations in the exact disbursement channel for which they were collected in the first place. This is because, Allah, The Most Exalted, Said (What means): "God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due" [An-Nisa' 58]. In conclusion, donations made in favor of the mosque should only be spent for the benefit of the mosque itself and spending them in building a graveyard is prohibited. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on using snuff, inhaled vapor, or menthol rub (Vicks) during the day in Ramadan?

Using snuff, inhaled vapor, or menthol rub (Vicks) invalidates the fast because these substances enter the lungs through inhalation, and the lungs are considered part of the body cavity (jauf).
Whoever uses them must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day after Ramadan.
However, if it is merely a scent and none of its substance reaches the body cavity, it does not break the fast.

Is it permissible for women to gather in one of their homes to pray Tarawih?

Yes, it is recommended (mustahabb) for women to pray Tarawih in congregation if they gather, even if it is not in the mosque.
In fact, praying at home is better for them, as it avoids the potential concerns associated with going to the mosque.

What is the ruling on praying while wearing shoes?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

There is no sin for a Muslim to perform prayer while wearing their sandals or shoes, provided they are free from any impurities (najasa). It was narrated that Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ pray in his sandals?' He replied: 'Yes.'" (Related by Al-Bukhari).

It is stated in Fath al-Bari (Vol.1/P.494) by Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him): "Regarding the phrase 'praying in his sandals,' Ibn Battal said: 'This is understood to apply as long as there is no impurity on them; furthermore, this is considered one of the legal concessions (rukhas)." And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on Qonot Du`a (supplication) at dawn prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is a confirmed Sunnah, and whoever leaves it should perform Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). And Allah Knows Best.
