Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 27-12-2020

Resolution No. (295) (15/2020): "Ruling on Investing Part of an Endowed Land which is Unsuitable as Burial Ground"

Date: (16th 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 reviewed the letter No. 4/6/2/13262 sent from His Excellency the former Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr. Abdulnaser Abulbasal. It reads as follows: Is it possible to invest part of the endowed land No. (100)-(7-Al-Wid al-Gharbi of al-Hashimiyah lands) on which An-No`man Bin Miqrin`s Mosque and an ancient graveyard are established ? It is worth pointing out that the part intended for investment is rocky ground, doesn`t have graves, and is unsuitable for burial. Moreover, this part is around 1000 square meters, located in a residential area, surrounded by several streets, and outside the Mosque`s wall. In addition, the municipality has closed this graveyard because this part, being rocky ground, is unsuitable for burial.

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

Since this endowed land serves the purpose for which it was endowed in the first place, which is establishing the Mosque and burying the dead, then it is permissible to invest the rocky part, which is unsuitable for burial, and use the revenue for the benefit expected from this Waqf (Endowment). In addition, Resolution No. (23/2014) issued by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies contains this same content. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

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.

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.
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is considered a woman`s Awrah (parts of the body that must be concealed during prayer) while offering prayer, and is her foot part of it?

A woman`s whole body is considered an Awrah while offering prayer except the hands and the face. Thus, her foot is an Awrah as well. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on a Muslim who slaughters an animal while being in a state of Janabah (ritual impurity)?

All Perfect Praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upo all of his family and companions.

Slaughtering is permissible for the ritually impure man and the menstruating woman because ritual purity isn`t a condition for the validity of the slaughtering. Moreover, it is permissible for the uncircumcised person to do the slaughtering as well. And Allah The Almighy Knows Best.
