Questions 62 with Shaykh Saleh as-Sadlan

Questions asked to Shaykh Saleh ibn Ghunam as-Sadlaan [May Allaah preserve him] in his house after Salaat al-Jumu‘ah, ar-Riyadh
15/8/1435 – 13/6/2014

Question:  What is the best way of getting accuracy in Fiqh?

Answer: Studying under a scholar, but gaining accuracy is not something easy. May Allaah Reward you, you have chosen a solid word (i.e. accuracy)!

Question: A Muslim couple fornicated (may Allaah Protect us) and now want to get married, is it permissible?

Answer: This is not permitted until we can confirm that she is not pregnant and that they repent:

The adulterer marries not but an adulteress…” [24:3] (TN: i.e. if they repent from Zina they are no longer considered as a Zaani, and the original ruling of being allowed to marry are reinstated).

But there is no ‘Iddah, as long as she can confirm she is not pregnant (al-Istibraa means to wait for one monthly cycle) and they make Tawbah.

Question: Does credit on the mobile phone come under the laws of Ribaa and Zakaat?

Answer: No, because credit is not a currency but it is a service. So people pay money to use a service and the scholars have discussed this in the books of Fiqh. They stated that it is permissible to pay a baker upfront a fixed amount of money and receive bread as per demand, this is similar to phone credit.

Question: Does electronic currencies come under the ruling of Ribaa and Zakaat?

Answer: Yes, because this has a value and is a form of currency. It is permissible to use this currency to buy goods but not permissible to buy other forms of currency. If one has enough money and the year has passed, there is Zakaat on it.

And Allaah Knows best.
