I grew up in a non religious shia household. I had minimal understanding of Islam and almost no understanding of fiqh. I was also discouraged from practicing Islam e.g. prayers and fasting and even at times was forbid me from practicing religion. This continued until I was 17 years old and then my family encouraged and allowed me to practice freely. My question is. What is the kaffarah for all the days that I did not fast during this period of my ignorance? Do I have to feed 1 poor person or 60 poor people for each day? And make up the missed fasts. I did not understand or know the rule at the time.

If you are then ignorant of the prohibition of breaking the fast during the month of Ramadan, then in addition to making up those days you must make two expiations. The expiation for breaking the fast, which is feeding 60 poor people for each day, and the expiation for delaying making up for the missed days, which is feeding one poor person for each day. However, if you are ignorant, you are only obligated to offer expiation for delaying making up for the missed days in addition to making up for the fast.

1) I don’t exactly get the differents between khums and zakat and when to pay what 2) Do I have to pay any of it, if I am in debt? 3) Do I have to pay khums or zakat on my salary from work (even if I can’t safe anything up from it)

1- Khoms and Zakat are two different financial worships. Zakat is paid for certain things with specific conditions, while khoms is paid for whatever remains from your income after covering your annual actual needs. 2- It depends. You might, and you might not. If you did not settle your debt before your year end, then you need to pay. 3- No, except if you are spending the money in unnecessary things

I have quite a few questions on khums 1. If I buy or sell and the money or goods havent had khums payed on them, do I have to pay it? 2. If I was given a gift and the price fluctuates, do i pay khums on the currenr price or the price at the time of giving? 3. Do I have to pay khums on something I buy and use in the first year but not in the second year? 4. In Ruling 1792, it says “The amount a person spends from his profit during the year on food, clothing, furniture, the purchase of a house, the wedding of his son, the trousseau of his daughter, ziyārah,[6] and suchlike”; could you please elaborate on what suchlike is (does it include books and other reasonable expenses?) 5. If a parent buys a toy for their child do they have to pay khums on that toy, if so, how is that done if the child has no money?

1- The basic principle is that you pay the khoms of the capital before starting to trade, if you are going to continue doing so. But if you had capital and traded with it in the year it was acquired and made a profit in the trade, then spent it and the profit on the needs of the same year, then you do not owe khoms. But if it remains until the end of your khoms day of the year, then khoms is due on the principal and the profit, and if you spent it all after that without paying the khoms, it becomes a debt you owe. 2- You must pay the khoms of the market value of the gift at the time of the khoms, meaning how much it would buy from you if you wanted to sell it. 3- If you dispense with it in the same year of purchase, then the fifth is due in the same manner as in No. 2. However, if you keep it for future use, then the fifth is not obligatory. 4- Yes, provided that you get use of the books (as example) during the same year. 5- If the child uses the toy in the same year, there is no khoms on it.

In my country it’s very common that the bride gives dowry to the groom, and it includes bed, sofa, aur conditioner, refrigerator etc etc. I have 2 questions now — 1.

If the bride or his family members use the bed ( which he got from the dowry) for praying namaz, then will such namaz be valid ?

If she pays him as a dowry, and she is forced to do so, and without her consent, and he does not pay her a dowry at all, then this is contrary to Sharia law, and his obligation to her is occupied by the dowry of similar daughters, and no one is permitted to dispose of what she mentioned without her permission. But if she gives it to him as a gift, and he accepts it, he he has the right to give permission to whomever he wants to use it.

If someone done lot of research about marja e taqleed and found different opinions from different scholars and not able to come on conclusion to whom to follow in particular matter and done istekhara and got answer. should he/ she follow according to istekhara and not being confused more than it’s vaild or it’s invaildate our deed?

There is no place for istikharah in this situation, rather its function is to be cautious among the opinions of the jurists in this case, and in the event that he is not able to be cautious, he chooses the one who is more popular to refer to than others among the believers. Not every matter is suitable for istikharah, as there are matters in which the Sharia directs us to people of experience. If the matter of taqleed was valid for istikharah, we would have found at least one of the jurists saying so.
