Bangsamoro
Grand Mufti Udasan in his message emphasized the importance of issuing
birth certificate to a newly born child in Islam. Islam is not solely a
religious ritual rather it is a comprehensive way of life that both
temporal and spiritual must go hand in hand.
During
the launching, Mufti Udasan underscored the Islamic guidelines with
regard to birth registration. "Parents must have to bear in mind the
importance of birth certificates for newly born children. In fact, in
Islam it is direly needed & required for varied purposes as follows:
1.
Affirmation of the precise date of birth of the child which will be
required for the preservation of his/her true lineage & ancestry
from both parents. This is to be processed by proper certification and
documentation of the birth of the child.
2.
During the stage of child's growth to the age of enrollment to
educational institutions from primary up to university level, authentic
birth certificate is absolutely required for the child's official
registration.
3. On travelling overseas, and in
the pursuance of higher education or other circumstantial purposes,
birth certificate is to availed for application of passport, health
certificate and other legal travel documents,
4.
On entering other contract, such as on commercial transactions and
other social dealings. According to the law of inheritance authentic
documents are direly needed in asserting & attesting the heir's
right to inherit from the wealth of parents, and from other members of
the family circle...nevertheless, should fake & falsified documents
used as references or bases resolving the contract, both the contracting
parties might be committing the evil of hypocrisy and dishonesty which
are condemned in Islam.
The said MoU aims to
improve human security, and access to human services. The birth
registration, being a fundamental right, ensures a person's rights are
upheld, and a foundation for achieving sustained human and economic
development which is anchored to social justice.
The Regional Darul Ifta aims to provide religious guidance and promote moral governance in the BARM.
