Ask Ustaz Haniff #7: Umrah Without Husband & Paying for His Umrah Trip

Query:

I will receive my EPF savings this year, amounting to about RM100,000. With that money, I intend to bring my mother to perform Umrah, for it has been her wish since several years ago. For your information, my mother has performed the Haj in 1999. My queries:

1. May I perform the Umrah with my mother but without my husband’s company? (My husband allows this, but is not ready to perform it and cannot afford it, financially)

2. I do have the intention to fund my husband’s Umrah trip, as I understand his financial limitations. However, I have doubts because of his social background. I am worried that he might not change his ways for the better.

What is the ruling, for me to have these kind of thoughts? Please advise me, as I lack an in-depth knowledge of the religion.

Response:

1. Theologically speaking, it is permissible for a married woman to perform Umrah without her husband, if the latter consents.

The possible issue is whether you can obtain an umrah visa without a male mahram.

You need to refer this matter to the agency coordinating umrah trips in your country.

In general, women of a certain age may be able obtain Umrah visas without their respective male mahrams. It is best to refer this matter to the agency.

2. Your intention and action to pay for your husband’s umrah trip are admirable in our religion, and in sya Allah, you will be granted with great rewards.

The question whether your husband will change for the better is between him and His Lord. If he does not change his ways following the Umrah trip, in sha Allah, it would still not lessen your rewards.


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #7: Umrah Tanpa Suami & Belanja Suami Berumrah

Soalan:

Saya akan menerima simpanan EPF pada tahun ini dalam jumlah lebih kurang RM100,000.

Dengan duit itu, saya berniat untuk membawa ibu saya menunaikan umrah, yang juga hasratnya sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Sebagai makluman, ibu saya telah menunaikan ibadah haji pada tahun 1999.

Kemusykilan saya:

  1. Bolehkah saya menunaikan umrah dengan ibu tanpa ditemani suami? (Suami mengizinkan tetapi belum bersedia dan tidak mampu dari segi kewangan)
  2. Saya terniat juga untuk membelanja suami mengerjakan umrah kerana maklum dengan kemampuan kewangan yang terbatas.

Tetapi, saya berasa was-was kerana latar belakang sosialnya. Saya khuatir dan takut jika beliau tidak berubah ke arah yang lebih baik.

Apakah hukumnya saya berfikiran seperti ini? Tolong nasihatkan saya yang cetek ilmu agama ini.

Jawapan:

1. Di sisi agama, seseorang wanita yang sudah bernikah boleh pergi menunaikan umrah tanpa suaminya, jika beliau telah mengizinkan.

Yang menjadi isu ialah sama ada awak boleh mendapatkan visa umrah jika tiada mahram lelaki. Hal ini, anda perlu rujuk kepada pihak agensi yang mengurus umrah di negara anda.

Umumnya, wanita pada usia tertentu boleh mendapatkan visa umrah tanpa mahram lelaki. Berapakah usia itu, sebaiknya dirujuk kepada agensi.

2. Niat dan perbuatan untuk membelanjakan suami untuk menunaikan umrah terpuji di sisi agama. Ia memberi pahala yang besar, in sya Allah.

Persoalan sama ada suami anda berubah atau tidak, itu soal beliau dengan Allah. Jika beliau tidak berubah, in sya Allah, ia tidak sedikit pun mengurangkan pahala bagi anda.

Ask Ustaz Haniff #2: Zakat on Fixed Deposits

Query:

I have a fixed/term deposit account. Can I use cash from my savings account to pay zakat for the former, or do I have to use money from the fixed deposit account itself?

Response:

You have two options:

1. To pay zakat for the fixed deposit account (if the amount has reached the zakat threshold) using cash from other savings source, or

2. Wait for the end of the term of the fixed deposit, and use the money from this account to pay the accumulated outstanding zakat, just like how zakat on CPF is done. [Editor: link to calculate zakat for your CPF here]

If the zakat amount for the fixed deposit account is not too overwhelming, and savings from other account(s) is sufficient to cover the payment of zakat, option 1 is preferable as it expedites the fulfilment of zakat obligation.

In situations where the zakat amount for the fixed deposit account is too big and/or there are no other savings source to pay zakat for the fixed deposit account, option 2 may be selected.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #2: Zakat akaun deposit tetap (fixed deposit)

Soalan:

Saya ada akaun deposit tetap (fixed/term deposit). Boleh tak saya bayar zakat gunakan wang dari akaun simpanan biasa? Atau haruskah saya gunakan wang dari akaun fixed deposit itu sendiri?

Jawapan:

Anda ada dua pilihan:

1. Bayar zakat bagi wang yg disimpan dalam fixed deposit (jika cukup syarat zakat) menggunakan wang dari simpanan lain, atau,

2. Tunggu hingga tempoh fixed deposit, lalu menggunakannya untuk membayar zakat yang tertunggak sebagaimana cara pembayaran zakat CPF. [Editor: Pautan untuk membantu anda membuat kiraan bagi zakat CPF]

Jika kadar zakat bagi wang dalam fixed deposit tidak begitu banyak dan wang simpanan dalam akaun lain boleh menampungnya, pilihan 1 adalah lebih baik kerana ia menyegerakan penunaian kewajipan.

Terdapat situasi di mana kadar zakat dalam fixed deposit besar atau seseorang itu tidak mempunyai simpanan lain untuk membayar zakat bagi wang deposit, maka pilihan 2 boleh digunapakai.
