Resolution No.(281): "Ruling on Building a Quranic Center on Part of an Endowed Plot of Land"

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

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.

I became ill while fasting and had to take an intramuscular injection twice on two consecutive days during Ramadan. I continued my fast as usual, as I was told that intramuscular injections do not break the fast. Please advise me so that I can know the correct ruling.
 
 
 
 
 

Subcutaneous and intramuscular therapeutic injections are not considered as invalidators of fasting because they do not enter the stomach through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do invalidate the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in purpose. Therefore, your fast is valid. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

If the imam does not leave time for reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, is the recitation of Al-Fatihah waived for the follower?

The recitation of Al-Fatihah is not waived for the follower. They should recite it silently, even if it causes a slight delay in following the imam in bowing (Ruku'). And Allah Knows Best.

A sixteen-year-old young woman suffers from Alopecia, and lost her hair and eyebrows as a result. Is it allowed to draw her eyebrows using henna and an eyeliner? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for women to use henna and what the asker has mentioned isn`t considered hair extension. However, if this young woman is proposed to, she must disclose this matter to the person proposing to her to avoid deception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
