Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 26-05-2019

Resolution No.(279)(13/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Using a Mosque`s Hall on Religious and Social Occasions"

Date: (11/ Ramadan/1440 AH), corresponding to (16/5/2019 AD).

 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

During its sixth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter No.(4/2/3/2484) sent from His excellency Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Dr. Abdulnaser Abu Al-Basal, and reads as follows: I have enclosed a copy of the Awqaf Council`s resolution No.(3/16/2018), (31/12/2018) which asks for clarifying the ruling of Sharia on using the hall of late Ali Wadi`s mosque`s in Salhoob town, by the mosque`s committee, for paying condolences upon someone`s death, delivering religious lessons and lectures.

After deliberating, the Board arrived at the following decision:

Empty extra halls of a mosque are of two types:

First: If the creator of the endowment (Donor) stipulated using the hall annexed to the mosque for paying condolences, in case of someone`s death, and in accordance with teachings of Sharia, then that is permissible, because the stipulation of the donor has the same binding force as the text of Sharia. In other words, he has endowed this hall for social solidarity during hard times.

Second: If the creator of the Waqf didn`t make any stipulation regarding this hall, attention should be given to the following:

If the land was endowed by a public or a private party and the donor is alive, then there is no harm in using the hall for paying condolences. This of course after obtaining the permission of the donor and the Ministry of Awqaf in its capacity as administrator of the Waqf (Endowment), and to the extent which achieves benefit and facilitates for the people.

However, if the donor was dead, then the decision is up to the Waqf administrator, the Ministry of Awqaf, and to the extent that achieves benefit and facilitates for the people. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman whose menses exceeded (15) days to pray, fast and do what was prohibited on her to do during the latter period?

If the menses exceeded 15 days then it is deemed menstruation, and in this case she is obliged to pray and fast and to do what was impermissible for her to do during the latter period. In addition, she is obliged to make an ablution for each obligatory prayer after it's due time and making sure that impuity is removed. Finally, your menstruation period is over (Questioner) simlar to your menstruation in the previos month.

Is it permissible for a sick person to pray while sitting on a chair?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is permissible for a sick person, who is unable to stand up, to offer prayer while sitting on a chair. If he/she was unable to prostrate while on the chair, the he/she should pray while sitting on the ground, but if he/she was neither able to bow (Roku),nor to prostrate, then he can do them while sitting on the chair. And Allah Knows Best.

Is prayer nullified by nose bleed?

 All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                           Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound doesn`t nullify prayer regardless of its quantity. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the historical figure known as 'the Sufyani,' who some say will appear at the end of times? And what is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the group that killed Al-Husayn ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), particularly those who directly committed the killing, severed his head, and killed members of his family?

Most of the narrations about the signs of the Hour concerning the Sufyani, who is said to appear before the Mahdi, indicate that he is the leader of the army that will invade the Kaaba, and Allah will cause the earth to swallow them. We disassociate ourselves before Allah from those who killed Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), supported his killing, or encouraged it, whether openly or secretly. The inner matters are left to Allah alone. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
