Resolution No.(294) (14/2020): "Ruling on Preventing Transforming a Mosque into a Kindergarten in Favor of the Ministry of Education"

Date Added : 23-12-2020

Resolution No. (294) (14/2020), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Preventing Transforming a Mosque into a Kindergarten in Favor of the Ministry of Education"

Date: (14th of Rabi'ul-Akhir, 1442 AH), corresponding to (2/12/2020 AD).

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

In its 13nth meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa` reviewed the letter No.4/2/3/4783 sent from His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr.Mohammad Al-Khalayleh. This letter reads as follows: Is it possible to transform the Old Mosque of Granada (Constructed on endowed land No.(173)-(5), Madaba), along with its annexes, into a kindergarten at the request of the Ministry of Education/ Madaba Qhasaba District? It is worth pointing that there is another mosque in the same area, which is the New Mosque of Granada.

After careful consideration, the Board has arrived at the following decision:

In principle, a religious endowment is bound by the conditions of the endower and should meet the purpose for which it was established in the first place. Consequently, a mosque may not be transformed into something else, such as kindergarten or other. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on the money saved for marriage?

Zakah is due on the money saved for marriage if it reached the Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a whole lunar year had lapsed over possessing it.

Is it permissible for a woman to leave her house wearing brightly colored clothing?

Brightly colored clothing is of woman's adornments, however; and this shouldn't be revealed save to her husband and Mahrams. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it incumbent on a father to cover the marriage costs of his son if the latter couldn`t afford them?

The son should seek the help of his relatives in order to convince his father to do the aforesaid, and the father should make sure that his son doesn`t commit fornication through helping him to get married, and Allah will reward him for doing so.

If someone bought a car from an interest-based bank and then sold it to another person, does the second person bear any sin if they use the car's price to pay the installments owed to the bank?

When the buyer purchased the car, it became their property, and the price became their responsibility. The bank acts as the seller's agent for receiving the payment. Therefore, there is no sin on the second buyer, God willing, as long as the bank does not impose an increase in the amount if a payment is delayed. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
