The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No. 2428- Some of the Qarz ul-Hasanah Funds invest their capitals in trade or production related activities so that they may earn part of their expenses or may make up for the losses they suffer in the process of giving loans. This is permissible provided that the owners of the money should have been informed and should have given their consents in this respect, and also the accrued income is used only for the expenses of the bank or the Fund.

Issue No.405- In the case of qalīlah istiḥāḍah, the woman should perform a separate wuḍū for each prayer, as an obligatory precaution, and it is obligatory to prevent blood from reaching other parts of the body. It is not obligatory to change the cotton or the pad although the recommended precaution is to do so. In kathīrah istiḥāḍah (excessive bleeding), it is obligatory to do three ghusls, one for fajr prayer, one for ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers and another for maghrib and ‘ishā’ prayers. She must perform these prayers together. That is, she should offer ‘aṣr prayer immediately after ẓuhr prayer and ‘ishā’ prayer immediately after maghrib prayer and the recommended precaution is that she should perform one wuḍū for each prayer before or after performing ghusl.

Issue No.1871- If it transpires after the expiry of the period of lease or during the lease that the lease contract was void, the lessee should give the usual rent of that item to the owner, irrespective of whether the rent is less or more than the amount of the contract. For example, if the usual rent is £1000.00 a month, and if he has rented it for £500.00, or £2000.00 a month, he should give only £1000.00.

Issue No. 2075- In temporary marriage the woman can go out of the house without the permission of the husband, or choose a job for herself out of the house unless the husband’s right is infringed owing to her going out of the house.

Issue No. 2422- What people get from banks as loan etc. and repay an additional amount to them will be halal if the transaction has taken place in an Islamic way and if it is not based on interest.

Issue No. 2083- It is haram to look at the private parts of another person, though it might be in a mirror or through clear water, etc. whether he/she is maḥram or non-maḥram, male or female; and the obligatory precaution is not to look at the private parts of a discerning child. However, a wife and husband can look at the entire body of each other.

Issue No. 2283- One may not vow performing or leaving a mubāḥ act which is religiously neutral in all respects (it is neither desirable nor disliked even in one aspect). However, if it is better to do or leave it in some respect, and a person makes a vow intending that respect, his vow will be valid. For example, if he makes a vow that he will eat a certain food in order to gain energy for worshipping Allah or that he will abandon eating a certain food that causes bodily weakness for worshipping Allah, his vow in either case will be in order.

Issue No. 1702- If it is obligatory on a person to pay the fiṭrah of another person, his obligation will not end if the latter himself pays his own fiṭrah, unless it is with the consent and permission of him (the former).

Issue No.1971- It is not permissible to bring about changes which are in conflict with the mortgage agreement. Hence, neither the creditor nor the debtor can transfer a property [by selling it or give it as a gift or the like] which is mortgaged to another person without the consent of the other party. However, if one of them presents or sells the property to another person, and the other party permits this later, there is no harm in it. And the recommended precaution is that neither of them should utilise the property even in other than foresaid cases without the permission of each other, though it might not be in conflict with the mortgage.

Issue No. 1260- If a person is sure that if he recites the sūrah, he will be able to join the imam in his rukū‘, he should, as an obligatory precaution, recite the sūrah. In case however, he recites the sūrah, but he does not reach the imam in his rukū‘, his congregational prayer is in order.
