Press Release on the Terrorist Attacks during the month of Ramadan

"Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!" (Holy Quran 26:227)

The terrorist attacks against the innocent followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) in Iraq have increased recently in various bombings of civilian gatherings in Baghdad and number of governates in Iraq during the Holy month of Ramadan. These terrorist acts have resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of hundreds of civilians, while the international, Islamic and Arabic organizations remain quiet. This confirms that these attacks are part of regional plot that will have dangerous consequences on the security of the regional and of the world.

As we ask Almighty Allah to send His mercy on the souls of the martyrs and to grant the wounded fast recovery. We strongly condemn these savage attacks and emphasize on the following:
Firstly: It is necessary for the Iraqi government and the Judiciary to fulfill their responsibility in bringing the perpetrators to justice and in protecting civilian citizens, especially the followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) as they are the primary target of terrorism.
Secondly: We call the international community, especially the international organizations, to classify such crimes as crimes against humanity, since they are genocides that resulted from hate culture and shedding human blood on religious bases which are violations of the international laws and ethics.

"There is no power save from Allah, the All-High, the All-Great".

The Office of the Religious Authority, Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem.

Day Questions

When does the woman reach the age of menopause as per the sharia?

If the woman was not a descendant of Qurasih, then the time of the Sharia-defined menopause is the age of fifty years. If she was a descendant of Quraish, then this time begins at the age of sixty years. However, if she knows that the blood that she has discharges is menstruation, even if her age is above the age of sharia defined menopause, she should apply the laws of menstruation to it.

What is the prescribed time for Dhuhrayn and Maghribayn prayers, and when does it become obligatory to perform them as Qadha?

The Dhuhr and Asr prescribed time ends at sunset. The Maghrib and Isha prescribed time ends in the middle of the night, which is the halfway point between sunset and fajr time. Beyond this time, the prayers should be offered with the intention of Qadha (making up lapsed prayers). However, if the Maghrib and Isha prayers have not been offered in their prescribed times due to forgetfulness or sleeping until the middle of the night, then their time is extended until Fajr time, and once Fajr time enters they will become lapsed and will need to be offered as Qadha.

I performed Umra al-Tamattu and after the Tawaf I took the exit after the Black Stone thinking that I can turn left to go to the Maqam to offer the Prayer of Tawaf. Because of the crowd I was unable to do so and I performed the prayer at the place of Sa'ee and continued to undertake the Sa'ee and Taqseer. I returned the next day and repeated the Prayer of Tawaf behind the Maqam. Is my Umra in order and can I continue with Hajj?

If the Sa'ee and Taqseer were done with the belief that they are correct according to him, then this is sufficient in their correctness. It is sufficient in the prayer of Tawaf that it was made up as Qadha within the Mosque the next day.

If we are purchasing something from a person, do we have to be concerned with the source of the sold merchandise? What if we know that they are stolen or acquired without the owner's consent? What if we doubt whether it is stolen or not?

It is not permissible to purchase goods that are known to be stolen from Muslims or are taken from them by force or without their consent. If there is a doubt whether the goods are usurped or not, then it is still permissible to buy them, although it is better to refrain from such goods and purchase from a seller who is not doubted.
