Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 03-11-2019

Resolution No.(281)(17/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Building a Quranic Center on Part of an Endowed Plot of Land"

Date: 25/Safar/1441 AH, corresponding to 24/10/2019 AD.

 

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

On its tenth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter (24/10/2019) sent from His Excellency, the Minister of Endowments, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs, Prof. Abdulnaser Abulbasal, and it reads as follows:

What is the ruling of Sharia on building a mosque and a Quranic center on part of a plot of land endowed as a graveyard from the state treasury?

After careful consideration, the Board decided what follows:

There is nothing wrong with building a mosque and a Quranic center on part of the above plot of land since the state hasn`t endowed it only as burial ground. Rather, it specified using it for that purpose as dictated by the public interest. Therefore, this specification isn`t binding. In other words, that land may be used for other purposes; unlike the case where the condition of the endower is as binding as the text of Sharia. Thus, if the administrator of that endowment saw the need for building the mosque and the Quranic center on that land then there is nothing wrong with that. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

I underwent a procedure for a molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole), and after that, the bleeding continued for more than two months, during which I did not pray. Do I need to make up the missed prayers?

If you have previously experienced postpartum bleeding, the duration of the current bleeding is treated the same as your previous postpartum period. Any bleeding that exceeds this duration must be considered irregular bleeding (istihada), and you must make up the missed prayers. If this is the first time, then any bleeding beyond sixty days is considered irregular bleeding. You must perform ghusl, pray, and make up the prayers for the days beyond the sixty-day limit. And Allah Knows Best.

I placed my hand on the Quran and made an oath to avoid doing a specific matter, but the devil seduced me. What is the ruling on this?

You are obliged to pay an expiation; feeding 10 poor and the cost of feeing one is half JD. And Allah Knows Best.

Some people eat raw lamb live. Is this permissible or not?

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 no harm in eating raw lamb liver since this is permissible according to Sharia. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is Zakah due on the orphan`s money?
