Egypt's Dar al-Ifta Issues Fatwa Permitting Delegated Hajj Due to Illness
Mohamed Mandour Egypt's Dar al-Ifta has issued a religious ruling (fatwa) permitting individuals suffering from chronic illness or old age to commission others to perform the Islamic pilgrimage of hajj on their behalf. The fatwa, grounded in Islamic tradition, cites a narration from Abdullah Ibn Abbas in which a woman sought the Prophet Muhammad's guidance about her elderly father's inability to undertake the hajj pilgrimage. The Prophet reportedly responded affirmatively, permitting her to perform hajj on his behalf — a narration found in the collections of Bukhari and Muslim. According to the fatwa, those classified as ma'dub — individuals permanently incapable of travel due to health or age — may delegate someone else to fulfill the religious obligation. Dar al-Ifta outlined several conditions for the permissibility of such delegation: The expenses for the pilgrimage must come from the person commissioning the hajj, whether living or deceased, or from donated funds if the deceased did not leave instructions. The person performing the hajj must clearly intend to do so on behalf of the one who is unable to go. The agent must have already completed their own obligatory hajj. The ruling underscores Islamic jurisprudence's flexibility in accommodating individuals facing physical hardship. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Grand Mufti Chairs Session at International Islamic Fiqh Academy Conference
Mohamed Mandour During his address at the 26th session of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy Conference in Doha, Dr. Nazir Ayyad, the Grand Mufti of Egypt and President of the General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide emphasized that Islamic law has long prioritized the psychological, social, and humanitarian dimensions in matters of legal competence and accountability. He highlighted the growing complexity of mental health issues today and underscored the urgent need for collective ijtihad (juristic reasoning) that integrates Islamic jurisprudence with medical and psychological sciences. Dr. Ayyad explained that Egypt's Dar al-Ifta adopts a rigorous, interdisciplinary approach by engaging with specialists across various fields, including medical professionals, to ensure that fatwas are grounded in both sound scholarship and contemporary realities. This methodology ensures that legal rulings remain relevant, precise, and aligned with the higher objectives of Shari'ah. The Grand Mufti concluded by affirming that acknowledging psychological factors in Islamic legislation is not a departure from scriptural texts, but rather a sincere application of the Shari'ah principles: mercy, justice, and the alleviation of hardship. He urged ongoing collaboration between juristic institutions and experts in medicine and related fields to produce contemporary, human-centered legal frameworks that uphold human dignity, serve the public interest, and contribute to social stability. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
