THE State Mufti’s Office has published three new books that cover religious issues affecting Muslims in the Sultanate as well as across the world.
The books are Fatwa Mufti Kerajaan 2015, Irsyad Hukum 2015 and Fatwa of the State Mufti 2000.
These books will serve as medium in assisting the Muslims to clear doubts on religious matters, Haji Mohiddin bin Haji Mustapha, Head of Production and Publication Section at the State Mufti’s Office, said in a media conference yesterday.
Till date, he said, the State Mufti’s Office has produced a total of 106 books in line with its commitment to disseminate the teaching of Islam and provide a channel of guidance for the Muslims in facing their issues.
The Fatwa Mufti Kerajaan 2015 is a 190-page book containing the State’s Mufti fatwa throughout 2015. The book provides the State Mufti’s answers to the questions posed by various local and international media. The book also serves as a platform for readers to make easy reference on Fatwas which are divided into categories such as Aqidah, Ibadat, Muamalat, Akhlak and many more.
Among interesting issues that have been discussed in this book is how to manage the dead body of a person who was diagnosed with Ebola virus and how to handle donations from non-Muslims to construct a mosque, and so on.
