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

What is the ruling of Sharia on exfoliating the skin on the face?

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.
According to medical doctors, exfoliation means removing a layer of skin to expose new skin. If this procedure is harmless then it is permissible since this is a kind of treatment and not skinning. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is Making up Missed Obligatory Prayers an Obligation? 

 

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 of his family and companions.
Missed obligatory prayer/prayers is a debt upon Muslim and making it up is an obligation, since the Prophet (PBUH) said: "pay the debt due to God, for it is the one which most deserves to be paid." [Agreed upon]. And Allah Knows Best.

 

How should a woman make up prayers that she missed two days from delivery?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is prohibited to delay prayer beyond its prescribed fixed time, therefore, the woman in question is obliged to make up missed prayers after delivery and confinement i.e. once she becomes ritually pure. 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.
