The 21st meeting of the Islamic Fiqh Academy of Sunnis completed its sessions on Sunday evening Nov. 22, 2015 approving three important issues.
\nThe official website of the Sunni community in Iran, \u201cSunniOnline\u201d, reports that the meeting of Sunni Muftis and Ulama was kicked off on Saturday morning. In the final session, the verdicts of the academy were announced.
\nMufti Abdul-Qader Arefi, the executive secretary of the IFA of Iran told our correspondent: \u201cThe academy was established 22 years ago by Darul-Iftaa Darululoom Zahedan. It has 34 formal members who belong to different provinces of Iran. Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid, the rector of Darululoom Zahedan, is the chairman of the academy.
\nIn the final meeting, the chairman of the Islamic Fiqh Academy talked to the participants briefly and said, \u201cUlama, Muslim scholars, have two kinds of relations; the first one is about them and the Almighty and Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.\u201d
\n\u201cThe second type of relationship that needs to be strengthened is relation with common people. Ulama are the leaders of people; they should be in contact with people, listen to them and find out solutions for their problems,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid added more.
\nTalking to the audience, Mufti Muhammad Qasem Qasemi, the head of Darul-Iftaa Darululoom Zahedan presented a report about the negotiations of Sunni Ulama with the authorities of Ansar Bank for legal deals without usury. He said, \u201cWe had meetings with the officials of Ansar Bank in Zahedan and Tehran. The officials of the bank are determined to provide some services under the guardianship of Sunni scholars.\u201d
\nIt is noteworthy some members of the academy visited the office of \u201cSunniOnline\u201d in their free time.
\nThe 21st meeting of the Islamic Fiqh Academy announced its decisions about \u2018abortion before and after 4 months\u2019, \u2018the ruling of loans which lose their value by the passage of time\u2019 and \u2018using of asthma spray during fasting\u2019.
\nThe announcement issued by the secretariat of the academy adds: \u201cAbortion within 40 days without any excuse is \u2018abominable\u2019 and against the objectives of Islam. Abortion is allowed after 40 days if a commission of experienced medics prescribes it necessary for the health of mother. Abortion is Haram and illegal after 120 days, despite the imperfectness of the embryo. But if its presence in the womb was a threat to the life of mother, abortion is allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
