Public QnA

This year because of covid all masjid are closed where I live.
How can we pray the eid al fitr prayer?

You can pray at home.
https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2259/

6 Can one perform Eid prayers, (Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha), at home, by myself, or must I recite these prayers in congregation at the mosque?

There is no problem in reciting the Eid prayers by yourself alone (Furada).

I wanted to ask if it is possible for women who is divorced(kulah) by a (REMOVED) Maulana and stayed away from husband from past 4 years and a week back she has got divorced (Kulah) re read by Shia maulana to perform nikah or she is supposed to wait for 4 months period?

She has to wait 3 menstrual cycles after the khula done by Shia Alim (with witnesses) before she can marry again, as the first one does not count since there are no witnesses.

8 Can one recite a divorce, whilst the two witnesses are not actually present, rather are listening on the phone?

It is not correct to perform it in such situation (obligatory precaution), rather the two male witnesses must be actually present whilst the divorce is pronounced.

Can we offer pray without socks ?
Or socks are mandatory for women?

Yes can offer without socks

When I was a 12 year old boy, i stole some food on several days from the school canteen untill i was 14 (in different campuses). And as the school canteen people are on contract so they are seperate from the school so I can’t pay the school.
Now how do I repay as I dont know the canteen people. What do I do now?

You have to give sadaqah to the value of what you took with the niyyat of radd al madhalim, and ask for forgiveness.

Is rent a halal form of income?


As long as nothing haraam is not done in getting properties then it is fine


Before praying, when I say takbiratul Ihram, I keep on forgetting the intention in my mind, such as “I will pray salatul fajr ila qurbatan illa billah”, however, right after the takbir al Ihram, I instantly remember what I’m praying, is such prayer valid? I tend to repeat prayers a lot because of this.

As long as you remember whilst saying Takbir it is sufficient

Namaz agar padne ki jaga nai h to desk pe pad skti hu actions se ya phir ghar aake qaza padni hogi

Nahi laazmi hai ke jagah dhoondh kar Namaz ada karein aur qaza karna jaiz nahi


1) I wanted to ask the view on reading salah in congregation in your home. If you are unable to get to the masjid for salah, is it recommended to perform salah in congregation even if it just you and your spouse? Previously, in the South Asian community, the role of leading salah has been reserved for the Imams of masajid and scholars. Recently, I have been hearing that any man can lead salah even if it just in the home.

2) Are there any sources of the Imams (a) leading in congregation in their own homes? I would assume when the 11th Imam (a) was in house arrest, he would lead at home. Otherwise, Imams (a) would lead in the masjid, right? I am trying to explain this to individuals I know – they would ask what are the benefits of reading in congregation? Isn’t congregation only reserved for bringing people together to the masajid, so what benefit would it have in the home?


1) It is extremely recommended to do so if possible, though of course whoever leads the congregation in the home must fulfil all the conditions of a prayer leader as mentioned in Islamic Laws of Ayatullah Sistani (Baligh, sane, Twelver, Adil (ie one who doesn’t sin openly and repents after sinning etc).

2) I’m not aware of any specific narrations but given that Imams were under political persecution most of their lives they would have prayed jamaat at home most of the time.


If one needs to offer qada of Salaat al-Aayaat, then how many salaat should one offer for one whole year.


At least four, one each for solar and lunar total eclipses and one each for partial eclipses.


Is it possible to have the intention before prayer to do it " to get closer to Allah " but adding " for the sake of Imam e Zaman AJ" ? in the sense that not getting closer to Allah for ourselves but only for our beloved Imam, in the sense that to get closer to Allah for the sake of being a better servant of the Imam. Is it possible to have such an intention or should we only do it for ourselves qurbatan Ila Allah? Would that intention be like shirk or something like that?


Gaining proximity to Allah is what would please the Imām (as) the most


1) Is it permissible to go to mixed gyms and one is in those part of the gym where there are no women? Would it be okay if it was two different floors?
Would it be okay to go and check at different times and if one sees it is empty, then train otherwise not go there?

2) And if one avoids looking but men and women pass by each other because of the placement of the dressing room?


1) Yes
2) It is fine


I am looking into beginning hawza studies next year in either Najaf or Qom but I am not sure which city I should go to, both are great so it makes the choice hard.

In your opinion which city would be best and why?

If you could also list pros and cons of both that would be much appreciated


Najaf is a more traditional based hawza, focusing on Fiqh and Usool E Fiqh, whereas Qum has more modern subjects like philosophy, theology, irfan etc.

There are more resources in Qum as well as better facilities if you are with your family, whereas Najaf is still a difficult place to live in due to issues with electricity, water and security issues.


In indian wedding everyone takes picture with the bride and bride is fully in makeup which is ok to see by women but at their house they will show their husband and other namahram bride’s makeup photos.

What does islam say about it?


Yes it is necessary for bride to cover her face from namehram in that case or ask the ladies not to take pictures with her whilst she has makeup

I live in a joint family and there’s one bathroom and two toilets that’s used by all the 8 members in my family. A few members of family aren’t so serious about taharat so I have a few questions :-

1. The toilet that I use is used by many and I see water on the floor and when I do taharah after urine or pooping, the water splashes and touches my butt or back. Is it paak or not?

2. The bathroom’s floor is wet generally. Shall I clean and purify the whole floor everytime before I use it?

3. The clothes are washed all together of the whole family not knowing whether the clothes of other members especially ( teenage cousin) are pure or have najasat on the clothes! In this case shall I wash my clothes seperately?

4. Once I had wet dream and najasat had come on the mattress. I tried to wash but couldn’t see where the nijasat exactly was but I was certain that it had got transferred now I still use that mattress but not sure if its pure!

5. If someone has not purified himself/herself after urination and they touch things with or without wet hand like a tap or towel does it become Najis?

1. It’s paak if you know it’s water
2. If you are not coming in contact with the floor, you don’t need to do that
3. Clothes washed in the automatic washing machine are tahir once they come out
4. As long as it it’s dry then it won’t transfer even if it is not pure
5. No

I think I might have misunderstood a fatwa from Sayed Sistani. Here is the rulings im confused about below, hopefully you can clarify what they mean.

Ruling 1138. If during prayers one remains silent to the extent that it cannot be said he is performing prayers, his prayer becomes invalid.

Ruling 1139. If during prayers one does something or remains silent for a while and doubts whether or not his prayer has broken up, he must perform the prayer again. However, it is better that he first completes that prayer and then repeats it.

Does this mean reciting the prayer silently or doing nothing such as standing or sitting in silence for a while?

Silent means doing or saying nothing

Is it permissible to look at and read/recite from a physical Quran (or mobile app) during wajib salah in order to recite a surah which is not memorized?

If it is impermissible or makruh, then would that still apply to, for example, a new convert who has not memorized any surahs yet but wishes to pray?

It is necessary to learn Surah Alhamd and ikhlas at least

میرے دادا کا ایک مکان ہے اور ان کے 8 بچے ہیں تو ان میں سے میرے چاچا کو اپنا حصہ چاہیے وہ مالی تور پر تھوڑے کمزور ہے۔ پر ان کے بہن بھائی اس گھر کو اس لیے نہیں بیچ رہے کہ وہ ان کے ماں باپ کی نشانی ہے تو اس طرح کی صورت میں شریعت کیا کہتی ہے۔
ان کے بھائی بہن کہ مطابق اس کو حق کھانا نہیں کہتے اور نہ ہی ان کے مطابق یہ غلط ہے ان کو لگتا ہے کہ جب وہ گھر فروخت ہوگا تب ان کو حصہ دے گے وہ گھر کرائے پر ہے اور میرے دادا کے سب بچوں کہ آپنا گھر ہے سوائے میرے چاچا کہ اور اس گھر میں صرف عزاداری ہوتی ہے۔کیا ہم میں سے کوئی عزاداری کا زمہ لے کر اس گھر کو بیچ سکتے ہیں ؟
اور ان کے بچے اس لیے بھی اس گھر کو بیچ کر اپنے بھائی کو حصہ نہیں دے رہے ہیں کہ وہ پریشان نہ ہو جائے اس سارے معاملات میں دین کیا حکم دیتا ہے


اگر باقی۔ بیچنا نہیں چاہتے تو پہر انکو اتنے مقدار میں پیسہ دینا چاہیے چچا کو۔ ایسا نہ کرنا شریعت کے خلاف ہے

I wanted to ask if goat urine is najis or not?

No it is not

I wanted to ask that do I need permission from my mother before I buy anything for myself even if I am buying it with my earning?

You do not however if buying something would earn her displeasure then it is necessary to avoid it

What if she takes everything as a displeasure because she thinks it is her right to know everything? Should we still avoid buying things for us? Then where do our rights go? I hope you understand where I am coming from. You know the typical south asian mind set where parents think they have every single right, but it is really ruining our mental health and our relationship with our parents.

If she’s being displeased to the extent that it is unreasonable then you can buy whatever you need

If for whatever reason I am not content with the way I did my wiping of the feet or head, whether it be because I have doubt that i did it correctly or some other reason.

Can I repeat the process of the wiping? Must it be done once? Or should you restart the wudu from the beginning if the sequence is important?

Must be restarted from the beginning

However if it getting too much doubts then the doubts must be ignored

What are the rules for praying with the spouse? Does the husband have to pray infront? Does the wife have to keep a certain distance? Even if restricted space?

One gift me some clothes and I know that his income is not valid can I use this gift

1) Can women wear chador in countries other than Iran like Pakistan or Canada? Most of people think chador as only persian culture where as it is best form of hijab. So Will it comes under category of "Libas all shuhrah", as most of people here look someone wearing chador as very unique or someone from Iran so it cause attention of people.

2) So can we wear it in other countries, obviously our intention is not to look different from our own people but to obey Allah Almighty?

1) It’s better to wear clothes which would make a person blend into the country they are living so instead of chador in the west, women could wear long coats and in Pakistan or other eastern countries they could use long dupatta or shawl

2) It is allowed if it doesn’t attract unnecessary attention

I wanted to ask if is there any ruling against lying or sleep with your feet outstretched in the direction of the Ka’bah?
Is it permissible or is it unethical?

It is permissible

I was reading a chapter on fadak in which I came across the paragraph from rudhutul kafi.
Firstly I wanted to ask is rudhutul kafi the same book- al kafi by Muhammad ibn Ya’qub al-Kulayni?


In addition to it I wanted to ask a question related to saying bismillah loudly in salah? Is it still recommended to say bismillah loudly in salah? If yes, Should we say it loudly even for those salah that are to be recited silently i.e zuhr asr.
And should we recite bismillah loudly only for surah fatiha or for the second surah as well?

Yes - Vol 8 of Kafi is titled Rawdhatul Kafi


Bismillah should be read loudly in all the prayers whether the Surah is read loudly or silently and for both Surahs.

During prayer what sections need to be recited quietly and which sections need to be said aloud

Only Fatiha and another Surah has to be said loudly in Fajr Maghrib and Isha

I was wondering if you could answer this question to the best of your knowledge;
Does a wife have obligations to her in-laws? If so, what are they and does she get sinned if she decides to not have a close relationship due to them disrespecting her and mistreating her?

Her obligations to her in laws are the same as to any other believers, though if they are living together then those obligations on both sides to maintain a level of decency in the house. If that is not possible at all due to one side or another being unreasonable then there is no obligation and the husband needs to intervene to get a solution.

Why would Allah burn good humans if they are disbelievers. It almost feels like Allah has a vendetta against good humans merely because they’re disbelievers

How many times one should perform a bath in a day?

It is a matter of personal choice unless Ghusl is wajib then as many times as Ghusl becomes wajib

1) The first question is about wudhu. As I woman, it’s happens that when I am washing my feet some air enters the front passage as the washbasin is fixed high, and when I start praying during prostration I feel some residue of that air in the woman front passage? (It’s happens even more frequently few days before menstruation) what should I do? Break my salah every time?

2) the second question is about signs of purity after menstruation. It is very difficult for me to determine when I should do ghusul as I do not find the white thread like. So after many many researches I found that total dryness while wiping(no colourish discharges) after answering the call of nature can be considered a sign of purity. Is it true?
As a full time university student how can I determine when I’m pure and which prayers I have to make up as I am in class all the time…

3) when it’s not possible to do istinja, I do istijmar (wipe 3, 5, 7 with toilet paper), in this case should when it’s time for salah should I change my undergarments?

4) waswas make me so anxious during salah, wudu and ghusl. I doubt so much and ask my self how many rakahs I did or if I forgot to wash a member. What should I do?

5) very often I forget if I did my istinja and keep changing my underwear what should I do?

6) after taking wudu can we recite shahada by heart in the bathroom?

1) ignore all doubts and continue as normal
2) if you have a period of habit (like 5 days) then you can use those days to determine when to do Ghusl
3) if any najasat is on undergarments then you need to change if not then no

4) try to ignore all doubts for rakats you can use a counter etc

5) totally ignore

If one has been praying Salatul Witr as wajib due to having taken an oath and comes in to a situation when they wake up that there is only a minute remaining. How will the person make sure he completes his prayer within the time. E.g in a normal wajib prayer due to lack of time he would not pray the second surah , leave the qunut etc. How will he do this for his Salatul witr?

You can do Fajr then pray witr as qadha. Salaatul Witr is mustahab and all the parts of it are mustahab.

So you have two options either you can do Salaatul Witr with just Fatiha and Ikhlas, Ruku and sujood if there’s time for just that or you can do Fajr and then pray Witr as qadha

Is it permissable to make dua for a non-mehram when they request for it?

Also would it be permissible to touch oneself after the orgasm to fully relieve oneself if it wasn’t complete?

Recite Surah Maryam daily

I want to know whether a lady can attend the jashns and majalis of Maasoomeen (A.S) when she is in the state of hayz. Also please let me know whether she can touch or kiss the alams in that state.

It is better to avoid touching the alam in that state however entering in imambargah and attending Jashan is allowed

Ive been making up my qadha fasts from Ramadhan
But today I realised that the times of fajr I was looking at yesterday and today were wrong.
For example yesterday i was eating until the time of fajr which i thought was 5:41 (the website was showing the previous days timings) when i checked later on it was actually 5:38.
Today without checking the time i assumed it would be 5:39 (as the day before was 5:41) so i ate till that time but fajr today was at 5:35.
We are usually told to wait about 10 mins before praying fajr to make sure the time has set in.
Are my fasts valid or shall I redo them? Because the fault lies with me. Also do i carry on fasting today or open it because I ate after fajr (but unknowingly)?

You carry on fasting and your fasts are valid as you ate unintentionally

What we should recite or do when have fear of evil eye on us?

Recite the 4 quls before sleeping

Advice for one who forget how to make Salah, and need the motivation to start. I am in a situation where I wish to start again but I have been away from praying so many years that I feel lost and also forgot everything but Adhaan.

Start slowly one prayer at a time once you are regular then you go to the next one

کیا جو نا محرم رشتہ دار ہیں کیا ان سے فون پر بات کر سکتے ہیں یعنی گناہ کی کوئی گفتگو نہ ہو اور نہ حرام میں پڑنے کا خوف ہو۔

فون پر بات کرسکتے ہیں ۔ کوئی۔ نہ مناسب بات نہ ہو۔ آحوال پرسی جائز ہے۔

I have question about wrong doing,
When onlineshoping started in our country by amazon & Flipkart, they had a policy that whatever customer said they will accept that .If customer lied that they received wrong item they would have refunded money without asking reason or anything.
I did wrong by saying wrong information to amazon that product is tempered or anything when the product was ok. After that I realised I did mistake but they had no way to take the money after few days I want to give back money so that I dont get sins but they have no option to take money what can I do ?

Give that money in sadaqah and don’t do again

Do I have to perform wajib prostration while reading the translation of Surahs?

No

I want to know which fiqh e Jaffria translation of Quran to read which is in a simple Urdu and where I can find it. I have been asking around and found one in English but it’s a very difficult one. It would be very helpful if you can mention the name of translator and publisher or any other details.

Anwarul Quran by Allama Zeeshan Haider Jawadi

1) I wanted to ask you that is tawaf un nisa wajib in umrah or after umrah.?
2) And what’s its purpose?

1) Yes it is wajib
2) It’s purpose is to make you halal for your wife again. Without it you will remain haraam on each other. Or if you are single, haraam to whomever you marry until it is performed.

I know a married couple, a few years ago they went to perform umrah but don’t know about tawaf un nisa so if I tell them now
1) What do they do?
2) What do they do if they are facing financial issues?

Either they have to go there to do it or somebody who is there can perform it on their behalf.

I have been paying my Khums regularly. I have some mutual fund investment, some investment in shares and some investment in insurance on which I haven’t paid Khums but I want to keep them for mortgage of my first house in the UK. Do I have to pay Khums on that?

I also have some cash which is intended to be the deposit of the house that I aim to buy in next 2 to 4 years. Do I have to pay Khums on this amount? I don’t have any house at the moment

Ruling 1792. 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,(7) and suchlike, is not liable for khums provided that the amount spent is not beyond his status.

If you don’t liquidate the shares or investments then it’s fine but when you liquidate them then Khums will be liable

I have question, as I’m pakistani, so here you can say proper campaign has been going on saying “ merry Christmas is equal to agreeing that Hazrat Isa is Son of Allah” Nauzubillah!

Some special prayers in the mafatih al-jinan specify that you are supposed to pray them in two rakat units, but other prayers like this one (to be done on Fridays in Rajab) don’t say do it in 2 raka’at units, they just say it’s a 4 rak’at prayer. So am I supposed to do these ones as one long special prayer of 4 rak’ats (for example) or split them into 2 units as well?

All Mustahab prayers are done in 2 rakat units

My question is about the majlis that people do just before the marriage events starts. They particularly call it "shaadi ki majlis".

There is no issue in wearing new clothes and if it is day of Wiladat then should be Jashan rather than masaib

We are compelled to fast with the mosque/community. However, my Marja Sayed Sistani has announced the beginning of the month to be on Sunday April 3rd. What should I do?

If you do masturbation while fasting by watching porn video does it break your fast?

Question: Does masturbating during daytime of Ramadhan invalidate the fast, regardless of whether or not it leads to ejaculation? What is the penalty that should be incurred by one who does so? What is the ruling for a woman who engages in masturbation during daytime of Ramadhan, irrespective of whether or not it leads to discharge?
Answer: If a person masturbates with the intention of ejaculating and actually ejaculates, his fast is rendered invalid and he must make it up by way of qadha as well as pay the penalty (kaffara) which is fasting for two successive months or feeding sixty poor people. If he masturbates with the intention of ejaculating but does not ejaculate, he must complete the fast with the intention of pleasing the Almighty and then do it qadha.
If he masturbates without the intention of ejaculating and he does not normally ejaculate, knowing that discharge is probable and it actually happens —he has to do qadha without the penalty. However, if such a person was confident that no discharge would take place and it actually happens — no qadha is required. In all these cases, there is no difference between a man and a woman.

What if someone didn’t know about the penalty like kaffara or qadha for two months fasting, can penalty be exempted for him for the first time?

Question: I masturbated in Ramadhan and I did not know that masturbation is haram. How should I go about my previous fasts?
Answer: If you knew in the beginning that masturbation is haram and that it invalidates fasting, you should observe qadha and give kaffara. The kaffara is to either feed sixty poor and needy Shia people or fast for sixty days (31 days in a row). If you did not know the hukm (ruling) and masturbated due to inculpable (innocent) ignorance, your fast is in order and qadha is not necessary.

2) Yes

I have a question related to girl or boy selection for marriage.

As people say married couples already decided in heaven yet they marriage here in this world so who ever your wife or husband is that is destiny.

In Qur’an "good men have good wife", then why in society we observe that a good girl is married to some gambler or smuggler or a corrupt person?

There is no ayat or Hadith about couples being made in heaven.

Secondly if you are referring to 24:26, it is a wrong translation by most, there is no reference to men and women there. According to our mufasireen, it means that people are good or bad due to their tongue, and good people speak good words, whilst evil people speak evil words. The end of the verse confirms this “Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say”.

My question is regarding the events that led to khilafat. Whenever we mention Ghadeer e Khum, our Sunni brothers say that Moula means a friend and Abu bakar was chosen by Prophet (pbuh) himself. Like not directly but he (PBUH) asked Abu Bakr to lead the prayers as Imam, and Imam Ali prayed behind him!
And even if Imam Ali didnt prayed behind him yet he stayed silent over it? So that means he accepted it? Which makes Abu bakar rightful khalifah?

Please see this link which will answer your question:

I live in a rented house and saving money to buy a house. Is khums applicable to that money which i’m saving to buy the house?

If having a house is necessary in common view and not having a house will put you into severe difficulty that is not normally bearable, in this case, Khums is not payable on the money which you save for buying a house.

According to Grand Ayatollah Sistani, if not buying a house is considered in your community as a sign of neglecting your duties toward your family, then the savings done over the years for that purpose will be considered as the allowable expenses of those years in which case khums will not be payable on the saving.

In my country (in the West) there are a few brand of halal food. Most of them use electronarcosis before slaughtering the food. In theory, the brands say the animal is still alive when they slaughter it, but in practice some of them may have died due to the shock.
Some brand use strong electronarcosis, some use light electronarcosis which reduce the risks (but still the consumer can't be sure at 100% the animal wasn't dead before the slaughter).
Can we eat from these brand ? In this industrialized society we can never be 100% sure the meat is halal since we were not in the slaughter house. Therefore, is confidence enough or no ?

If you know that animal was stunned to death then you cannot eat it.

Confidence is only if a Muslim tells you it is halal then you can trust their word.

I've heard that seyeds cannot receive sadaqah, is it true? If yes, what does it mean ? For example, does it mean that I cannot invite my seyed friend to the restaurant because it is considered a form of sadaqah?

2) Unless you are certain that they used wet hands, it remains tahir.

Is it possible to make these up by having the intention of making up farz prayers during my nafl prayers (for example my 8 zhur ruka’a nafl, I make intention of making up 2x zhur prayers while praying the nafl)? Or do I actually have to pray the missing prayers with the intention of making them up?

You have to make the intention of the missing prayers with the wajib intention.

Nafl is 2x so 8 rakat would be 4 prayers 2x

For example an impure doorknob?

As long as the place of prostrating is tahir it is fine

I have an app installed, there’s also Islamic horoscope which supposedly predicts our future on annual basis, for example career and education, calendar date predictions, the best date to get married etc. Should we as Shias follow these type of horoscopes?

There’s no harm in reading them but to believe they determine our future is not allowed

I live in Norway, where whenever I want to fast during summer times, obligatory or recommended, it gets really difficult because the sun almost never goes down here. Right now our maghrib is at 11.07pm and fajr at 02.22am. I have heard that there are some scholars that allow people that have to fast in countries where the sun almost never goes down, (so have to fast for 20+ hours between fajr and maghrib) that they can fast with the closest Muslim countries fasting hours instead. Does Sistani allow for this?

*The times that I listed isnt completely true timings in accordence with the sun, as there is still slight sunlight even after the time for isha. Thats what I mean by the sun doesnt really go down completely for it to be the time for Isha here.

Not according to Sayed Sistani

1) Can you give me in detail explaination of what ma fi dhimma is, and how I can use it to pray my missing salats?

2) Can I say ma fi dhimma before my nafl prayers, and make the intention of making up missed prayers, and it will make up my missed fajr prayers?

3) I usually only read surah hamd in my nafl prayers, not like my farz where its obligatory to recite surah hamd and then another surah like surah Ikhals for one rakat. Do I have to do that for my nafls if my intention is to make up missed farz prayers

1) It means “whatever is my obligation”

So for example when you pray a 2 rakat prayer ma fi dhimma, it will count as fajr if you have any qadha.

2) Yes

3) You must read a complete Surah after Fatiha

1- What is the awrah for men which is obligated to cover?
2- Is it permissable for men to wear t shirt and shorts that cover the navel down to the knees, but do not cover the knees itself? I have heard that it is recommended in prayer to cover from navel to knees, but not an obligation. Is it the same for regular outdoor use as well?

1 - Awrah is private parts
2 - Yes

In the tradition where the prophet (saw) talks about the stages of imaan depending on how many verses of the Quran you recite a day (10 verses – not heedles, 50 verses – Zaakireen, 100 verses – Qaniteen), does it have to be 100 diffrent verses, or could it just be for example 100 x Alhamdu lillahi rabbil a’lamin, and also is the recitation done in prayers counted among these, or is it only verses recited seperate from the prayers?

100 different verses verses other than those read in prayer

Even this is recommended. Just Fatiha and Ikhlas is sufficient

I'm not quite sure but it seems that reciting Nade Ali kabeer is shirk as we are calling Ali a.s for help rather than Allah.

It has been mentioned in various books of Hadith including Biharul Anwar

2) You can pray the two rakat salaahs in Tahajjud as ma fi dhimma and thus would count as qatha if you have any

I found out a while ago that when you do ghusul, after washing the head and neck you have to get out of the the stream of water and then wash the rest of your body. Before I found out about that ruling, I don’t know if I did that in my previous ghusuls. Do I need to make up my prayers and fasts?

Rather you cannot stand under the water and move your body parts for ghusl. It is essential to pour water on the body parts either with a jug, or by moving the shower head over the body parts or, using ones hands to make sure the water reaches all the parts of the body

Q19: What is the ruling on a person who used to pray and fast but committed several mistakes in the major ablution (ghusl). He is absolutely sure now that some of his previous ghusls were void, but he does not know how many. As a result he is not aware of how many invalid prayers and fasts he offered with them.

A: His fasts are valid even if his ghusl is invalid. However, it is obligatory for him to offer qada of all the prayers he offered with the invalid ghusl. If he is unsure about the minimum and the maximum, he may limit himself to the minimum. (FM, p. 399)

2) Say something special, like an intention?

1) You can make them up anytime
2) Niyyat will be qadha wajib qurbatan illa Allah

I was wearing an underwear which was wet by water then emission of madhiyy took place on it and then when I went to washroom, I saw that. I cleaned my private parts, sprinkled water on my underwear, made wudhu and offered salah. Since my clothes didn't get any marks on it, I didn't change my clothes and offer salah with it, is that okay?

I read in many fatwas that it's impure, that's why am getting this doubt and since it was already wet with water and the emission of madhiyy took place, doubt is arising in my mind because I didn't change the dress which I was wearing.

If it is madhy then it is Tahir no problem.

I have a question regarding tawbah. I know we’re supposed to feel guilt and regret while making tawbah because it helps show our sincerity for regretting the action we made. However, what if we want to continue making tawbah for the same mistake from the past ? The first time I made tawbah I surely felt guilt and remorse but I try to not to make myself feel that way every time I think about that past sin and make istighfar because I feel like I will be setting myself up for depression. It’s hard to put guilt on ourselves everyday when we make istighfar. It really affects me my mental health. What I’m trying to ask is how do you do continue tawbah for a past mistake without making yourself depressed by beating down on yourself?

When we made tawbah with regret that is sufficient.

We are having a friendly debate can you please help me with the following questions and the reference’s must be authentic Sunni books, Quran and No Shia books please.

Questions:-

1) If are fore fathers are Sunni Syed why didn’t they come out to say they are Shia later if they were doing taqqiya?

2) In the Quran it says we should stay with the truth and trust Allah swt so why are the descendants of the Ahlalbayt doing taqqiya when they’ve got Allah swt on there side especially if they are wali Allah and Fakir.

3) The Sabah of the Sunni why ain’t they the rightful heirs after the prophet saw passed away and when the Sabah appointed themselves to be the caliph’s why didn’t imam Ali (as) protest against them or picked up his sword towards them.

4) If the sabah’s are bad people why are they buried next to the prophet saw? Wouldn’t the earth sallow them up by the permission of Allah swt for disrespecting the prophet saw and the Ahlalbayt?

5) How do you know that Shia fiqh is the true fiqh it could be a cult?

6) Why did Imam Ali (as) reject caliphate? Why did he become the 4th caliph?

If you can answer these with Sunni references authentic up to date that will help me in my debate.

I have heard that taking milk of wife is not allowed because the milk is for baby and it is haram on her husband but this info is from other maslaks, sunni and others. I want to know what fiq-e-jafria say about it?

https://www.islamquest.net/en/archive/question/fa2402.

I sometimes use packaged burger patties for my kids. Although the box says slaughter according to Muslim Rites and halal but I recently read that Ayatullah Sistani disregards this Halal category for Meat. I want to know the ruling according to Sayed Khamenei and whether I can use this.

As long as a Muslim says or you purchase in a Muslim country you can take it as halal.

1) My question is that what are the rulings of mehr? Who gets to decide the amount of mehr and when and how much should it be given?
2) Who decides the amount of mehr? Who’s right is this?
3) On what basis or standards should the amount of mehr be fixed?
4) What if a girl’s father is adamant on asking for a big amount of mehr then what are the hadiths and rulings in this matter?

1) The girl can ask for whatever she likes for mahr but ideally it should be agreed between the man and the woman beforehand including when and how it should be given.

2) The woman has the right with consultation with her family and her spouse to be.

3) It should be in accordance with the society and social status of the woman.

4) Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a) has declared:

عن علیّ (ع) قال: «لاتغالوا بمهور النساء فتکون عداوة.»

Do not set substantial Mahr for women and do not compete in its excess for this causes enmity.

If I feel Heartbroken and helpless and this being the reason I pray more and more and offer more namaz, is it selfish or wrong of me to do this if I've it my heart that it want my duas to get fulfilled I need to pray more? Will it not sound selfish like I'm doing it because I want to get my duas fulfilled?

No it is not wrong, rather it is praiseworthy and recommended to do so.

In the last sajdah of a wajib namaz, can we recite any Dua to prolong it? For example, can we recite the sajdah part from Ziyarat Ashura?

Yes.

Is oral sex halal?
If so, is swallowing the pre-ejaculation fluid haram?

It is allowed. Swallowing semen is haraam.

However any other fluid which is not semen is allowed to be swallowed.

Can we do Aqiqa on the 6th day of birth instead of 7th day?

Yes.

No problem.

Can you pray with your shoes on?

No.

What exactly is a man's hijab in front on non Mahram? Does he have to to cover from the knees to the belly button? And in front of mahram, you just have to cover your private parts right?

Yes that is the bare minimum but obviously the more that is covered the better, especially depending on the context, in most cases it would be inappropriate to be topless in front of others therefore it would need to be covered too.
Same in front of mahram as well especially mother and sister.

Maira sawal yeh h ke Allama Hasan Rizvi ka quran translate correct h ya nahin. Please aap confirm karay.

I want to know that is it right to sleep after the fajr prayer?

It is fine to sleep after Fajr but better to stay awake until sunrise.

Is it necessary to have a parda(for eg:a curtain) between a man and a woman while offering namaz? No matter even if it's a mehram, I know that a woman needs to stand behind a man while offering namaz, but is it mandatory to have any kind of parda in between?

If they are married couple or mahram then there is no need for parda, as long as the place where the woman is doing Sajdah is by the knees of the man or behind, then it is fine

1) In ruling #8 of Sistani’s “Islamic laws” it says when it is not known who the most learned Mujtahid is, and also who is the most cautious, we can follow any mujtahid, except in the cases of al-ilm al-ijmali and al-hujjat al-ijmaliyyah.

Can you please explain what this means and what the practical implications are?

2) Does this mean that this type of Taqleed (ilm ijmali) is then the same as doing Taqleed based on ihtiyat?

1) Example of Ilm al Ijmali:

A person may know that impurity has occurred in one of the vessels, but he does not know precisely whether it is in the first, second or third vessel.

Similarly, a person knows that the most knowledgeable exists but does not know exactly who is the most knowledgeable, therefore he can follow any one of them about whom we have Ilm al Ijmali and not the rest.

2) No it is not the same as Ihtiyaat as in that case you need to learn views of all the mujtahids irrespective of whether they are aalam or not.

Quran e Kareem janaab e Mariyam Salamullah aleha ki Ismat ki gawahi deta hai aur janab e Fatema Zehra Salamullah Aleha ki Ismat ki bhi Ayat e Tatheer ke zariye gawahi deta hai. lihaza inn dono masooma hastiyon ki Ismat mey kiya farq hai or khud inn dono ismato mey yaani Ismat e Mariyam Salamullah or Ismat e Sayyeda FatematuZehra Salamullah Aleha mey kiya farq h.

Ismat ka Matlab gunah se mehfooz hona. Yeh dono hastiyo ka sharaf hai.

There are many duas which are recommended to be read after certain namaz. Should we recite those dua's after reciting tasbeeh-e-fatima or after completing the namaz?

After tasbeeh.

Imam Mehdi ki maa Nargis khatoon Isae thi.

Nahi.

Why did Imam Hussain take a public well known path to karbala rather than a hidden path where the authorities would not see them as far as saying" verily I shall not leave this path"

We can only go by the statements that Imam himself made. Since he said he wanted reform of the ummah he went on a path which would make the ummah realise how dangerous Yazid would be.

1) Why do we visit the graves of our loved ones if they are presumed to be in barzakh? Can you please elaborate on this concept?
2) The Quran we recite for them at the grave can also reach them if we recite it at home?

1) We are recommended to visit the graveyards to remind us about death
2) Yes we can also recite Quran for them at home

Agar Shahed (Honey) Ko Giza (Food) Ka Musatqil Hissa Bana Len To *Jigar (Liver)* Ki Kisi Takleef Ki Nobat Nahi Aayegi.
Tibb e Imam Ali Raza AS, Pg 54

Kia ye hadees sahi hai?

Yes.

I am a youth and when I think about arousing scenes, semen is discharged from me. Does this action (only thinking about this) with the aim of having semen discharged fall into the category of masturbation?

No but Ghusl will be wajib. Also watching such arousing scenes if intentional is a sin.

I recite Dua Ahad, ziyarat Aal e yaseen and ziyarat e Ashura daily, but still i feel like there is great distance between me and Imam. I have also recited DuaNudba for 40 days. Any other Dua?

It’s a process.
Keep doing what you are doing.

When we give sadqa, should tell the person it is sadqa?
Many people don't take sadqa when we say so what should I do?

No we should not tell people. As long as they are not Syed, you can give them sadaqah without telling.

Many shia people in mumbai keep fast (roza)1st to 9th moharram? I want to know why they keep and is it sawab to keep and which Imaam told?

1. Fasting on 1st day of Muharram highly recommended. Imam Ridha (pbuh) asks his companion, Ar Rayyan ibn Shabeeb – “Are you fasting?” He answers no. Imam then says: “Yabna Shabeeb! This is the day when Zakariyya at 75 years prayed to his Rabb (3:38) for a child. Allah accepts his dua and commands angel to go to his mihraab and announce the good news of a son Yahya (3:39). One who fasts and invokes Allah He will accept as the dua of Zakariyya”
2. It is mustahab to fast on the first nine days of the month.

If agha seestani gave ehtiyat wajib in some matter, then which marja cam we refer to?

Can we do rujoo towards Agha Makarem?

If you consider Agha Makarem to be next a’alam after Agha Sistani, or two just witnesses tell you that is the case, then it is permissible.

I wanted to know like in a 4 rakat salat, if I forget to recite tashhud in 2nd rakat then what should be done? Or later i realise for eg in 3rd or 4th rakat that I haven't recited tashhud in 2nd rakat then what should I do? Should I leave it or do sajda e sahv?

If you realise before Ruku of 3rd rakat then you go back, recite it, continue the Namaz and do sajdah sahw at the end. If you remember after Ruku of 3rd rakat then continue the Namaz finish it and then do sajdah sahw.

I have had some elderly tell me that we may not pray behind a non mahram man in house gatherings. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I thought as long as we are in proper full hijab it does not matter to pray behind a non mahram man. Is it true that we cannot pray behind a non mahram man?

You can pray behind as long as there is either a barrier between you or enough gap (at least 1m) between the places of prostration.

Is it allowed for men to use Kohl like how the Prophet Muhammad once did?

Yes.

From when shiasm started, from ghadeer or before ghadeer?

Before Ghadeer.

Heard a video of Zakir Naik, he said there is no shia and sunni in Quran, just be muslim, obey Allah(swt) and His Messenger(pbuh) and hold on to the rope of Allah (swt) and do not get divided into sects. And prophet said there will 73sects in islam and whoever creates a sect is not following Quran. And he says Prophet was not Shia Sunni, he was a Muslim.
So what should we answer for this?

Rope of Allah is Ali (as) and the Imams (as). Hadith of the Prophet narrated by Umme Salamah in Sunni sources “Ali and his Shia are the successful ones”

Agar kabhi hum mecca gaye to udher namaz kaisi parhein bina sajdagah ke. Ya hum apne do anghuton per sajda kersakte hai?

Just a little sperm I think come out. I didn't mean it so is my fasting vaild?

Question: Does masturbating during daytime of Ramadhãn invalidate the fast, regardless of whether or not it leads to ejaculation? What is the penalty that should be incurred by one who does so? What is the ruling for a woman who engages in masturbation during daytime of Ramadhãn, irrespective of whether or not it leads to discharge?
Answer: If a person masturbates with the intention of ejaculating and actually ejaculates, his fast is rendered invalid and he must make it up by way of qadhã as well as pay the penalty (kaffãra) which is fasting for two successive months or feeding sixty poor people. If he masturbates with the intention of ejaculating but does not ejaculate, he must complete the fast with the intention of pleasing the Almighty and then do it qadhã.If he masturbates without the intention of ejaculating and he does not normally ejaculate, knowing that discharge is probable and it actually happens —he has to do qadhã without the penalty.

I am experiencing a change in my nature(nafs) im having these bad thoughts, and I am having uncontrolled abnormal desires that is unusual for normal people and it is very distressing. In Islam, How do we normalize our human nature and regain our cleanliness in our soul. And how to purify your mind and heart?

We have to see our behaviour and our diet as well as our company. Both the things we eat and the people we associate with can affect us negatively and positively. Therefore we need to pay attention to these things. In addition, we have to spend some time alone in contemplation in order to get closer to our nature and purify ones self. The best way of purity is to get closer to Muhammad and Aale Muhammad peace be upon them all and try to emulate their lofty behaviour.

Does being skeptical is OK in islam

Yes but we must strive for certainty.

During Ramadan I was pregnant and couldn't keep any of the fasts. I could not afford to pay fidyah then. Could you please tell me how much fidyah I owe?

You would give 750g of food for each day that you missed. You can give the financial equivalent but it has to be used on the food.

If for example I have najassat on my face like blood and I use my hand to wash this part. Does my hand become najis as well?

As long as najasat is washed off the hand it will be paak.

Who are the ayatullah that we can follow when ayatullah sistani put ehteyat wajib in a fiqh law?

In Al Firdaws Allah has given us gifts of beautiful palace, 2 wives, fruits, meat, rivers of water, honey, milk, water, wine and whatever your soul desires but whoever is in Firdaws will get a chance to see ALLAH twice daily, Once in the morning & once in the night. And a scholar said once you see Allah's face you will not desire for anything and you will forget whatever Allah has given you and will not have any desire. So if you see Allah's face in the morning and when you return home you will not have sex with your wife, eat & drink or think of anything because you are still thinking of Allah face and his praises. So my question is then what is the use of all the gifts he will be giving us in Al Firdaws if we are not going enjoy each and everything?

This is not correct. In heaven you will get all your desires and you can fulfill all those desires as we can read in riwayat

Is it permissible to pay for car insurance monthly when interest is charged? Or does one have to pay yearly with no interest fee.

See here:

https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01220/

1) If I touch something that a hindu previously touched and then touch something else with a wet hand or if I touched something wet would it become najis?
2) For example, when you go shopping, there will always be items that have been previously touched or the person at the till could be hindu and if you then touch that item with a wet hand then is it najis?
3) And is it true that after you touched one dry thing that's najis and that touched another dry item, then whatever else touches the second dry item isn't najis?

1) Yes.
2) Only if you are certain someone najis touched it.
3) If you touched something that was najis but dry and your hand is also dry then najasat does not transfer.

So if I touched a dry item that was najis and then used the same hand to touch several other things but then then say one of those things gets wet does that mean that that item is najis? So if item A was najis but dry, then I touched item B which then item C (all dry) however item C then got wet would item C be najis? And does this chain continue?

No, as item A did not transfer najasat. However if item A was touched with wet hands then it would make item B najis which in turn would make item C najis where the chain would stop according to most of the fuqaha.

is it permissible to swallow phlegm in salah?

1) If the investments are savings then yes, and it would be once. For example if I have an investment of £5000 which is saved for a whole year, I will pay £1000 on it and then that investment is khums’d and I do not need to pay on it again even if it stays for another year

2) Correct

I am asking on behalf of a friend who – while being a Muslim – for many years strayed from the path and didnt fulfil his religious obligations whether prayers or fasts. Only recently has he come back to practicing the faith, and has been working hard on making up for his past and genuinely reforming himself. However, one thing he is feeling hopeless about is making up missed fasts. He has calculated all his intentionally missed fasts for the month of Ramadan, and has come up with a personal number of having to either make up 8400 fasts as kaffarah (breaking a fast means fast 60 days) or feed 8400 poor Shia (60 people for each broken/missed fast). What should he do in this circumstance?

He should make up the fasts that he missed and if he is unable to give the kaffarah then pray sincerely for forgiveness and insha Allah Allah is the most merciful.

1• How do we know that wilayat al faqih is approved by Allah swt is there any proof?
2• I often get told that my Aqida is not good because my marja is Sayed Khamanai and that he doesn’t have a right to do a Islamic state and be the wali that’s only for the imam aj.
3• Is there any rules in following a marja how are we supposed to know which one s the perfect or the right one to follow aren’t they all right?
I’m starting to get really confused and need help understanding.

1) Wilayatul Faqih means that in the ghaybat of the Imam (as), a mujtahid has some of the functions that are required in a Muslim society such as right of distribution of inheritance, marriage and divorce rights, and so on.

2) Marja is followed in Fiqh rules. It is everyone’s own responsibility to research their aqidah and make sure it is correct therefore that is unrelated to the matter of taqlid.

3) The rules of following a marja are mentioned in the beginning of the risalah of all the maraje and are almost identical.

Hope you are well. Are my maternal and paternal uncles my mahrams? I.e is my mums uncle (grandfather's brothers) also my marram?

This can be done monthly also or only annually is the way?

Correct. You can also do it monthly if it’s more convenient for you.

And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Do I not have the right to have my own privacy meaning living in a separate accommodation? What would the ruling be in my case? How can I convince my husband?

There is no shari requirement however since you agreed beforehand it is a difficult situation.

You should discuss with your husband and try to convince him that you need to live elsewhere.

How do I ask for forgiveness from people that:
1) I no longer am in touch with
2) Are famous, i.e politicians or celebrities I have looked down upon
3) Professional people who in which asking them for forgiveness could create awkwardness and possibly tension i.e doctors, teachers

And if I ask for forgiveness from those I have hurt or spoken badly about, do I have to tell them what I said or can I just send a general message to them asking for their forgiveness for any wrongdoings I might have committed that could have affected them.

As for 2) you do not need to seek forgiveness from.

As for 1 and 3 if it is not possible to contact them then there is a form of sadaqah called Radd al madhalim. It is taken out with the intention of penitence for the wrongdoing one has done to others and is no longer in contact with.

Similarly the ones who you can contact you can just send a general message asking for forgiveness whilst keeping in mind the thing you said or did.

I am confused about Khums payment. Some say you can deduct vacations and car lease payments but some say only necessities and ziarat /Hajj trip can be deducted. Please clarify if all expenses I including clothes and shoes shopping + regular vacations can be deducted or just the necessities of home expense and groceries and ziarat trips.

If car payments and vacations are legitimate expenses which are part of your lifestyle and not considered extravagant then you can deduct those too.

For example, they are in accordance with how much you earn and people who earn similar to you also have those expenses in society.

In Canada we have various food delivery services and I was thinking of adding additional income due to flexibility of hours but I could be delivering any kind of food including pork. Is this allowed ?

I am newly married and my husband and I take part in intimate activities almost every day and I know that Ghusl e janabat is wajib with washing hair and body. However due to my hair being long and very thick, I find it very difficult to wash it everyday as well as it being tied up under hijab all day and because of this I sometimes get into arguments with my husband to not be intimate as I am not able to wash my hair afterwards and do not want to have to miss prayers. Is there any way of avoiding washing my hair while doing Ghusl e janabat or is there a simplified method of doing Ghusl e janabat?

Ghusl only becomes wajib when you climax, and whoever climaxes. If you get intimate but you do not climax, then Ghusl will not be wajib. If only your husband climaxes then only he has to do Ghusl.

See ruling 345:

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2162/

Even if there is penetration but no climax, is ghusl is not wajib?

Ruling 348. If a person has sexual intercourse with a woman and penetration occurs up to or more than the circumcised part of the penis – irrespective of whether the penetration was in the vagina or in the anus, and whether the man had reached the age of legal responsibility (bulūgh) or not – then, even if semen is not ejaculated, both the man and the woman become junub.

In such a case, Ghusl will be wajib if there was penetration to that extent

I am seeking a clarification. According to fiqh, it is essential to ensure that during ablution water reaches the skin. Can you please confirm what this means?
Usually after washing face with soap, after sometime, there forms a layer of oil on skin. Should this oil be considered a barrier in water reaching skin or is it ok to consider this oil as part of skin thus water can be poured and spread over face or hand to meet conditions of ablution.

Please confirm

If you use a water based product like soap, and then do the wudhu, then it is fine.

If you use an oil based product, then it would be considered a barrier.

I want to know a quranic amaal, for both of my boys, ages 3 and 5.

I have heard that working on day of ashura is nehas and it takes away the barakah from rizk. I live in Canada and ashura is falling on weekday. I just wanna confirm with you that if there is any hadith on that from any Imam?

We have many Hadith that one should spend this whole day in grief and sorrow without paying attention to worldly needs.

You should try to get the day off if it possible but if it is an unavoidable scenario, then you can donate the equivalent salary of that day to something that would promote the message of Imam Husayn (as).

A relative of mine asked me to make him an istikhara. He does not pray, and sometimes he drinks and eats pork. But he is Muslim and he does believe in Allah swt. Can I still make him an istikhara?

Kya imam hussain ne jung se pehle jo namaz parhi thi wo sirf zohar ki thi ya asr ki bhi thi? Or agar unhone asr ki namaz parhi thi to zohar k waqt unhone sajda kyu kiya or asr ki azan k waqt k ehteram me kyu apne jung rok di thi?

Imam keliye mashhoor Yeh hai ke qareeb e waqt e Asr aap shaheed kiye gaye

Please can you tell me the correct way to read sajdah e shukr and what to read.

There is no fixed way but the best way is to go into sajdah and say Shukran lillah 100 times is most recommended but even 10 times would suffice.

I would like to know if I don’t have turba with me and I am praying with sunni brothers, what can I put on the carpet instead? And if I don’t have nothing and I pray with my head in the carpet, is the salah accepted ?

You must make sajdah on any natural substance which grows from the ground as long as it is not eaten or worn, so any clay, mud, dust, leaf, grass, paper, wood, stone etc is sufficient.

If you can’t find any of the above then you must repeat the prayer if you made sajdah on the carpet.

How many times we nees to wash a blanket which become najis by urine.

If it is running water, then once is enough. If less than Kurr than 2 times, and better 3 times.

If it brings you closer to God then it is a test, and if it takes you further away then it is a punishment. (Paraphrased from Hadith).

After the event of Karbala, Imams (as) continued this and they also entered into various areas of trade, especially the buying and freeing of slaves.

Also Dua 54 from Sahifa e Sajjadiya

Is it obligatory to pronounce the ‘h’ at the end of this zikr :

اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لااِلهَ اِلاَّ اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاشَرِیكَ لَهُ

If I finished namaz then I noticed I did not pronounce it
Do I have to repeat ?

It is but if you finished and then noticed then only Sajdah Sahw is necessary

This is the answer from ayatullah sistani about my gas problem :
‘if it is possible to hold back a moment to do the ablutions and part of the prayer the precaution is to do the ablutions and the prayer in this moment but one should not redo the ablutions if he lost his ablutions during the prayer , he has to repeat only if he does something else that cancels ablution.’

So it means that if for example I feel confortable to pray , so I pray Zohr and I broke my wudhu. I can still pray asr without repeating wudhu?

No it means if you praying Zohr and break the wuzu during Namaz then you continue and you don’t need to repeat. For Asr, you have to do wuzu again if it broke during or after Zuhr.

I did wudhu and I prayed namaz zohr and asr. Then, I did wudhu again because my wudhu was broken and I prayed namaz soubh qaza. At the end of my namaz soubh kaza, I saw something in my arm that Is obstacle for wazou, one glitters.

Thus, I dont know if I also have to repeat namaz zohr and asr because I'm not sure if it was present for this 2 namaz. Or just repeat namaz soubh?

If time is remaining, then better to repeat all the Namaz.
If time has passed then it is valid and no need to repeat

If I am in my 2nd rakat, I finished to recite the tashahud and then by error, I start to say ‘Assalam’ , the zikr of salam
And then I correct my error by reciting the zikr of tashahud again.

Do I have to do sajda e sahw for the zikr of salam that I said?

Or I have to repeat namaz again?

As soon as you realise, you can continue your Namaz by leaving the salaam (no need to repeat the tashhahud) then doing Sajdah sahw at the end.

I just learned that when we pray salat we must hear a sound from our mouth when we are reciting zikr, even if its not too clear.

So my question is, its obligatory to hear each letter or its okay if its in generally?

As long as it is being pronounced it is fine even if it is quiet.

Is it permissible to eat rice in a chinese or non muslim restaurant for example?
Because we dont know how they cook the rice. Sometimes some people wash the rice before cooking and some people dont do that thus we dont if they touched with their wet hands or no

If you don’t know then you can eat it and you don’t need to investigate. However it is better to avoid if it is a non Muslim restaurant

Is it allowed for someone who doubt excessively about the number of rakat and sajda to use the special mohr with counter please?

Yes

During my prayer I have difficulty to pronounce ح andض correctly. So I repeat always the zikr until its correct, but sometimes I can’t be able to pronounce it with makhraj.
Do I have to repeat namaz ?

If you are pronouncing it to best of your ability, once is sufficient and you don’t need to repeat.

I was in discussions with a potential spouse and it hit a stumbling block as she asked me to consider changing how I pray my namaz and include Aliun Waliullah. Is this forbidden and is there any Hadith from our Imams a.s to illustrate this?

We cannot add or subtract anything from the wajibaat on our own accord.
If one is a mujtahid, then they can analyse Quran and Hadith regarding this issue, and if one is a muqallid (follower) then they must follow what their mujtahid has ruled on this issue, just like everything else.

I have heard that a title of Bibi Syeda Fatima (sa) is 'Insia Haura' however I cannot find it's meaning anywhere. Could you possibly help me find the meaning?

Insiya al Hawraa means “human houri” or houri in human form according to a Hadith of the Prophet

My aunt breast fed me for over a year therefore my cousin is considered a sibling however is he non mahram? Do l need to cover in front of him as l consider him a brother. Also does the ruling refer to his sibling too and my siblings or only him and l because l was the only one that got breastfed.

Whoever was breastfed from the same woman will be mahram for each other. If your sibling didn’t breastfeed from your aunt then they would not be mahram to your cousin(s).

It’s mentioned in Surah Ankaboot verse 48 “ Rasool saw before revelation of Quran, never read any book nor he wrote anything”, which perhaps proves this. Please enlighten.

My father has knee pain and while getting up from sajdah, he is not able to sit in jalsa position because the bending of knee hurts. He therefore keeps himself bending towards sajda and says “astaghrifullah rabi wa atubu ilayh” then goes back to sajda. Is his namaz ok?

In such a scenario, he can sit on the chair and place another chair in front in order to do the sajdah. Rest of the Namaz he would pray as normal.

I feel sad because I think he doesn't accepts anything

Keep doing what you are doing. These are tricks of Shaytan to make us think that our actions are not being accepted.

Insha Allah as you continue to do what you are doing you will see the results soon.

1)A friend of mine recently said that Prophet Muhammad had stoned a man to death for raping. Is this true as per shia history? And otherwise also, is this in the history of sunni belief that Prophet did such act?
2) As per shia islamic law, What should be the punishment that should be given to a man proved for rape and murder of a women?

1) It may be in sunni texts but in the Quran we don’t find the mention of stoning as a punishment.
2) Such hudood punishments can only be carried out by Imam e Masoom (as) therefore are out of the question in our time. We are therefore obliged to follow the law of the land we are living in.

I was walking on the road with my shoes on, and suddenly my feet kicked an animal poop that was on the road and was najis. My question is that now in order to make my shoe paak, I will be using kurr water, so, justing putting the shoe under the tap water(kurr) and rubbing the dirt from the shoe will make it paak at one wash? If other dirt remains on the shoe after washing once, but in that i get a doubt that whether that might be the najis intrinsic impurity or just some other dirt, then i can keep that without washing again and it will be paak?

You can rub it on the sand or mud and it will become paak.

Wanted to know, if nasal flu spray are permissible according to Shia law?

As long as all the ingredients are halal, no reason why it shouldn’t be allowed

I’m assuming u don’t know it contains pork gelatine. The reason I’m asking is because parents are having debates about it and some argue it’s not permissible due to that, but some are arguing it’s not consumed via mouth and that it’s for medicinal purpose to keep the kids healthy. Alternative is a less effective injection, which is a hassle on its own to convince a child to get a needle in their arm.
I’ve never had to get flu spray/jab for my kids before, but now I’ve moved to Scotland and it’s highly recommended here with the weather being more extreme than London.

I did enquire regarding this from Agha Sistani’s office and they said it’s fine due to being for medicinal purpose.

My parents do not wish for me to study any professional degree (engineering or business) since they don’t want me to work in any private firms. The only fields I am open to are medicine or to work as a teacher. They say that living with them I cannot work anywhere except the option given to me but once I am married then i can do as my " husband" wants.
I do understand that working in a non-muslim country especially for women is difficult but living in (removed) which specially caters to Islamic moral codes, I don’t understand the problem my parents see. And if there is something wrong according to the islamic laws then how no way out of this does it become fine once I’m married.
i dont want to fight with my parents but i see no way out of this. Is it Islamically wrong for a woman to be career oriented?

Islamically there is nothing wrong with being career orientated. You should try and explain to your parents regarding this. However even then if they don’t agree you cannot go against their wishes if this will hurt them.

What is the niyyat to perform ghusl e janabat and how to perform it

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2165/

Is it permissible for me to work at a restaurant where they prepare food with pork and what if i wear gloves to avoid the najasa

See the following Q and A from Agha Sistani:

Question: Is it permissible for a Muslim to sell pork to those who believe it is permissible for them like the Ahlul Kitãb?
Answer: It is not permissible to deal in pork at all.

Question: Is it permissible to work at a store that sells pork in the sense that the Muslim supervisor asks one of his employees to give pork to the customer?
Answer: It is not permissible to sell pork, even to those who consider it lawful, be it directly or through an intermediary. As for handling pork for those who consider it lawful, there is problem in it; however, based on obligatory precaution, one should refrain from it.

From Islamic perspective/ sharia, do we have a duty to stand up and protest against the oppression shown to Palestine, or to shias of Bahrain or the people of Yemen? We follow Ayatullah Sistani but is it a required duty? We live in US and apparently our tax dollars are also being used to kill Yemenis, so what are our obligations regarding this?

Standing for all the oppressed is a religious duty mentioned in many verses and many narrations.

Some of the clothes sold in the UK have a label attached to them and the material of the label seems to be leather. I don't know whether this leather is from an animal slaughtered islamically or non islamically since these clothes are made in countries such as India. If I were to put this in the washing machine, when it comes in contact with water, would the other clothes become najis as well?

If you are sure that it is real leather then yes it would be najis and would make other items najis if wet.

If you are not sure then you can assume it is tahir and no need to investigate.

I would like to know if there was a special prayer and/or duaa i could perform before an exam ?
I usually start my exam with Al Fatiha.

Also, I would like to know if I am allowed to perform Tarawih with sunni people (so in groups) since I do not speak arabic and can’t do them at home alone.

http://www.duas.org/student.htm

Shia do not pray Tarawih because it is not in the Quran or the practice of the Prophet or Imams.

Meei sabse badi problem ye hai ke mai imagine bohot karene lag gaya hoon

Jaise mai agar koi india ki cheez kharidoo oil, sweets, anything jis me gosht na hoo to mai imagination shuroo kardeta hoon ke. Ye india ki factorry me bana saboon ya oil hai jahan 99 percent log hindu kaam karte hai to zaroori kiso ne haath lagay hoga kyinke india me itna hygiene nahi hai ke koi gloves pahenta hoo. Saray hindu hai aur biscuits, chips etc bina hath kagaue banana mumkin nahi hai etc. To ohir mai sab cheezoon ko najis samajhne lag jata hoon.

Aur agar ignore karne ki koshish bhi karoon to jab tak mai us najis samjhi gai cheez ko pipe se paak na kardo tab tak mujhe na bhook lagti hai aur na hi kujh sujhai deta hai. Aur anxious aur gussia bohit aata hai. Aur jab wash kardo tab hi chain padta hai.

Beshak ye meri jihalat hogi. Lekin mujhe mere masail ko koi sahi samjhata nahi hai. Bas har koi tauzeeh ka fatwa bata deta hai. Jabke mai tauzeeh ko kai baar padh chuka hoon.

Rules maloom hai lekin application of rules me mai jihalat karta hoon.

Jab tak ke dekha nahi tou imagine nahi kar sakte

Lekin ye baat yaqini hoti hai ke wahn hindu hi kaam Karte hai. Aur bin hath lagaye mumkin hi nahi. Kia mujje ankho se dekhna zaroori hai? Shak ka masla kia hai?

Agar yaqini ho tou phir nhi khana chahiye. Shakk ke mamale mein nazar andaaz karna chahiye

According to the Quran, can a woman who doesn't wish to get married to stay single? The question applies to a woman who guards her morals successfully, has no physical or emotional desires and wants a peaceful life worshipping Allah.
If yes, are there any ayats in the Quran to state it? And please can you list those ayats?

According to Quran and Hadith, marriage is a very emphasised sunnah of the Prophets (sawa) and Imams (as).

We have many narrations discouraging a person living alone, eating alone and being alone.

Me apne city me jaa rha hun raat 12 baje niklu to subha 6 baje pohchuga to kya me roza rakh sakta hun matlab k me safar par sehri kar sakta hun?

I live in europe and I am now on vacation with my family in our country in Asia. Since I have been here, I have nightmares every day. Before I go to sleep I listen to the quran and I pray on time but I have nightmares every day so far (a week). I also hear from familiar voices these last days. I hear familiar voices calling my name while they don't, sometimes during my sleep but also when I'm awake. It is the voices of my parents or other family members and I'm sure that they aren't calling my name but its in my head. What can I do best for this?

Recite 4 qul and Ayatul Kursi before sleeping
Also sadaqah everyday

In a disabled care there are boys/girls men and women. They are disabled and often mentally retarded. So they communicate at a low level, sometimes they are 60 but they communicate and think like an 1 year old. My question is if i can touch them (boys/mens). If they were Muslims then they do not have to pray or fast right?

Yes there is no obligations on them due to being not of sound mind. However you should adopt precaution and only touch them as much as necessary.

Can a person who is fasting in the month of ramadan, serve food to a moslim who is not fasting? That person is not fasting because of safar and will stay here a couple of days.

It is makrooh (better to avoid).

I do mut'ah with somebody, but I want to break the contract. Does he need to give the Mehr (since I'm as his wife who is asking to break the marriage)

If sexual intercourse took place then he should give the mahr.

I just want to ask that can we keep the pictures of marhoomen? If we have any pictures of along with marhoom is it necessary to delete ?

No problem

By the grace of Almighty I am going to perform umrah. I wanted to ask if there are any specific supplications to solve my problems at any locations in makkah or madina? Like any supplications for hajaat to be said at a particular site? Especially for marriage

https://www.al-islam.org/rites-of-umrah-al-mufradah-nasir-makarim-shirazi/introduction

How long is the iddah of a woman after ended temporary marriage?

And is there an iddah if there was no consummation except anal intercourse?

3 menstruation cycles
After any kind of physical relations iddah must be observed

If after performing my namaz maghrib , I saw that we can see me through the window glass.

But the glass, was not in front of me but on the side.

My namaz magrib still valid? I just covered the glass and continue with Isha

Yes it is fine
It is better not to pray anywhere where there is a reflection but prayer is valid

I would like to know, from when we can say and consider a person as kasirul shak please ?

Because, I doubt frequently, but I am not sure if I am in the categorie of kasirul shak

If one is doubting every prayer for example then one should ignore all the doubts

So if I always doubt in my prayers , I have to ignore it ?

For example, I always repeat namaz because I doubt in numbers of rakat, doubt in pronounciation, doubt of if my wuzu is broken or not.

I have to ignore everything right?

Yes if it is getting that much then you have to ignore the doubts and continue your day

And is it a kind of gunnah because it means that I am not concentrated in my namaz?
Is there any way to cure this?
I am really scared because it affects my imaan seriously.

No it’s not gunah
You can pray to Allah to remove your doubts and improve your concentration in Namaz

I have question concerning the zikhr in namaz.

I noticed that before, I made many mistakes in the makhraj in namaz.
So, I learned the correctly pronounciation of it.

But, I still have difficulties to memorise it.
So, during my namaz, I repeat 3-4 times the same part of sentence to make the correct makhraj.

My namaz is still valid right? Even if I repeat more than 2 times the same word to pronounce it correctly?

Yes no problem

I have so many questions about namaz and wouzou,

1) I heard that, when we make wouzou, and we don’t finished the massa of our feet, we can’t walk or move more than 3 steps. Is it true?

2) If I do mistake in the zikr for example, Do I have the right to just correct it directly? Or I have to re do my namaz again?

3) Moreover, if I am performing my namaz, my clothes slide, so we can see , the part of my body that Its wajib to cover (example my wrists) , do I have to re do my salat? Or just cover it again and continue it ?


4) If at the end of my salat, I realize that we can see a bit of my hair, do I have to re do my namaz , or its valid?

5) When I am saying the zikr of my namaz, and accidentally, I make a sound or I speak loudly, Make my salat baatil?

6) After I finished my prayer, I realize that I did a mistake in the Tasbi ate arba , I said ‘subhannallahi…. wa la illaha ILLALAHI…’
instead of ‘ …. wa la illaha ILLALAHOU…’
So , I just re do my namaz to be sure and to not have any doubt.
But know, the problem is that I dont know if I did this mistake or no before . So what do I have to do?
Is this kind of mistake make salaat baatil?

7) When I am doing my wouzou, and my arms just touch or touch something else like my clothes or the door for example, make it invalid ?

8)Then, do you have some advices to be concentrated in salat? I have so many difficulty to be concentrated ..

1) It is best to complete all of the wudhu in one place if it is possible.

If due to lack of space etc one has to move then it must be in the state that one is doing wudhu. So for example, to keep on wiping the arms, then coming out to do masah on head and feet.

2) just repeat the zikr correctly and continue with Namaz

3) just cover and continue

4) it is valid

5) it is valid

6) it is valid
If you did it accidentally you can do sajdah sahw at the end and Namaz doesn’t need to be repeated.

7) no it is valid

8) better to prepare before the time and have a place reserved in house for Namaz which is free from distractions and other things

If I make mistake in makhraj of the zikr in my salat , is it invalid ?

No it is valid but better to learn the makhraj and avoid mistakes

If I just do the zikr of the sunnat allahou akbar but without the gesture It's still correct please?

Only in first Allahu Akbar raising hands to ears is necessary

May I know, If I make mistakes in the sunnat acts of my namaz, make my salat invalid ? For example, doing mistake in salwats or all the Allahu Akbar that are not wajib. Thank you

No problem Namaz is still valid

I am asking this question for a friend of mine. Once he and his friend where driving a scooter/bike. His friend hit a woman who was driving her car. So he crashed into the car, and the fault was his friends. They both got scared. He (my friend) fled but came back to the accident. When he came back he saw his friend wasn’t there, so he asked the women that where his friend was, and she said that he was inside this building. When my friend went in the building, he suggested to his friend that they fled together, and so they did. Even though it wasn’t him that had crashed into the women and her car, he suggested that they should flee. So he feels that all the haram is put on his shoulders in qiyama. He wants to know how he can repent from this, and what the punishment for this is. And that he in any way can get shafaa’t?

If there’s any way to compensate the person who’s car has been damaged then that is the best thing to do.

If not, then give sadaqah and ask for forgiveness insha Allah he would be forgiven by Allahs will

So, who is responsible? The one who hit the car, or the other friend who suggested to run away?

Both of them have a share in responsibility but obviously the one who hit the car is primarily responsible

My question is regarding the cleanliness of dog. I have always heard from parents and grandparents that dog are considered as unpure similarly to pigs. I have always followed this but in recent time the activity of fellow muslims with dogs (caring, playing, kissing etc) specially the millennials made me to ask this question.
Are dogs impure and untouchable similar to pigs?

Yes Dog is najis but Najasat is only transferred through wetness, either ones body is wet, or the dog is wet, or it is the saliva from the dog.

In all other cases, najasat will not be transferred, however, one cannot do salaah with the clothes which has dog hair on it.

I was justifying to my Sunni friend why as Shia Muslims we look for the moon in our own country to declare Eid to be the following day. She asked what we do if it is too cloudy to see the moon, as for example we live in England and it is often cloudy. I didn't have a response to this. Could you please give me an answer to this?

If it is cloudy and there was a possibility of sighting in your own country (according to published knowledge) then according to A. Sistani, a sighting in another country can be followed.

Maulana kindly, tell me that how I'm able to know that Imam-e-Zaman (ATFS) is agree with me, I mean whatever I'm doing (Aamaal) in my daily routine he is seeing all that, so if I want to know that Imam Mehdi (ATFS) is happy with all my activities or not then what can I do or how can I able to know that?
Kindly, explain me in detail what I do to make my time of Imam agree and happy with me.

As much as possible:
- reciting Dua Ahad and Ziyarat Aale Yaseen daily
- doing all the wajibaat
- staying away from all the haraam
- doing mustahab acts
- staying away from makrooh acts

Insha Allah May Imam be happy with all of us.

I want to complete reading the Quran (khatm) during the month of Ramadhan however I am unsure about rulings whilst menstruating. I am aware I can recite the Quran but can not touch the writing however what do I do about compulsory sujoods? Can I perform them without wudhu during menstruation? Or will I have to skip those ayat out and not be able to complete the Quran fully?

You cannot recite the ayat with wajib sajdah whilst menstruating but you can read them once your cycle is over.

I want to ask you if two people who have been in a sexual relationship before marriage but later they get married to each other, is the nikah jayez?
They only had relationship with each other and nobody else

They have to do istighfaar first for their sin before doing nikah

Does that mean if they did NOT do isteghfar and performed nikah, their nikah in not valid?

They should do isteghfaar now and read the nikah again

We have been struggling for the past four years in our business. My husband is a religious, hard working, honest, and helpful man. I don’t understand why we are going through this. Please send me a dua to help find a resolution to a financial difficulty. And is there such a thing as buri nazar?

You can recite verse 2 and 3 of Surah 65, everyday after Fajr, 11 times. Insha Allah you will get success

Veganism in the view of Islam ?

There are many narrations in praise of eating meat however if one chooses to abstain it is not forbidden.

But ,given the present scenario of too much consumption of Non-Veg which might have impacted very badly to our ecosystem balance ,
Isn't it good to have some rulings in controlling it's consumption in Muslim Community, or is there any that I am unaware of ?

That is for every individual to decide themselves

Can we travel when fasting after Fajr when the distance is 200 kms considering it's married daughter going to her mother's house

You can travel but you can’t fast that day unless

1) She considers mothers house to be her own home
And
2) she reaches before Zuhr and does the niyyat there

What is the ruling on the length of nails of fingers and feet if we are to pray namaz?

They should be clean and tidy if they happen to be long, and if one can’t keep them clean then they need to be trimmed short enough so that dirt does not gather there

What if we try to remove dirt but some of it is still left?

If it’s a barrier to water reaching the skin then nails must be trimmed

Is it wajib to recite Surah tawheed in the second rakat? If so, what is the reason behind it?

Not wajib but mustahab

1)Why don't we pray ghaibana namaz e janaza (absentee funeral prayer)?

2) I read somewhere that Prophet prayed it for Najashi. Is this true?

Namaz e Janaza is wajib in all but once one person has prayed it, obligation is dropped from the rest. Therefore no need for ghaibana.

Regarding Najashi some people say that he had accepted Islam and was in taqiyya

What would be the best career paths for a Muslim living in the west in terms of what Allah me be please with and being able to live a comfortable life to sustain a family as well and being able to fulfill our Islamic duties.

Any career path which gives you flexibility to maximise your relationship with God would be desirable. It is up to you to choose and decide.

Can you give me some examples of career paths that allow me to maximize my relationship with Allah swt

That depends on your own background and circumstances. I would suggest you seek advice from a careers advice centre.

If we miss Salatul Layl at midnight, when can we pray it?

You can pray it any time until Fajr and even after Fajr you can pray it as qadha

Does it have to be at a specific time to be prayed as qadha or can it be anytime during the day?

Anytime

My sister is married to a guy and doesn’t want him anymore because he’s a liar and stuff like that. Now does he have to pay mahar or no even though he’s at fault and my sister is leaving him for a reason and his family and he himself know he’s wrong

She must consult with the mujtahid or his representative before taking any decisions.

If the mujtahid or representative rules that the man is at fault then he has to pay the Mahr if not then he is not liable.

Is the mahar have to be paid if the wife asking to break the contract?

If the husband asked for that to apply the divorce, then yes.

Since you're better aware of situations in the developed countries where there is a lot of interaction of men with women, what is the ruling regarding having female friends provided one remains respectful with each other?

In light of the Hadith interactions with the opposite gender must be minimal and only to the extent which is necessary.

Since the interaction should be minimal, does that mean having female friends is sinful?

Depends what friendship entails but should be avoided ideally

Since interaction with opposite gender should be minimal, is having female friends sinful?

The person should not put him self in situations he can not manage.
Usually, getting into friendship with the opposite gender can not pass safely.

Sheikh, can you kindly elaborate on the last part?

Putting fire near the fuel is dangerous.

We were invited to an iftar out of town and would have to stay a night there and leave the next day to attend. Would our fasts still be valid for both the day we arrive and the next day when we leave?

Depends on when you leave and when you come back

Could you elaborate please?

If you travel after Zuhr and return before Zuhr the next day you can fast on both days

I will be helping my brother move to a new city soon and might have to miss a day of Ramadan. Can I still fast on this day although I am travelling?

If no, then how do I make it up?

If you are travelling after Zuhr (leaving hometown after Zuhr) then you can fast as normal.

Otherwise you cannot fast, and will make up the qadha after month of Ramadhan

So how would I make up for this fast? Is there a timeframe?

Anytime before next Ramadhan

I heard that if I miss a fast intentionally then I have to fast 60 days to make it up. Is this true? Would this apply in my case?

Yes that is true.
That is in case you had no excuse and you broke the fast.
But in the case of travelling that does not apply.

So the qadha for missing one day is to fast one day? No charity or anything else required?

Yes just one fast

Under what circumstances should one do mutah according to Islam? How does one find the proper mutah spouse since the Shia community is small?

In order to prevent one self from haraam.

Also, is one allowed to lie in order to keep the mutah a secret and maintain their dignity?

Lying is a sin.

But I thought for taqiyyah you can lie to preserve you property, honor, or to save a persons life?

In this scenario taqiyya will not apply

I just wanted to ask how important are looks for a girl when getting married. Because in our society it seems to be one of the most important things for a girl and sometimes they overlook religion and other things. I am worried that I may never get married because of my looks and I don’t know what to do. Is there any dua I can say to help.

The most important factor in spouse selection should be religion however unfortunately this is not the case for many people nowadays.

You should recite verses 74, 75 and 76 of Surah Furqan 21 times a day after Fajr. Insha Allah it would help.

Exam me chori haram he, lekin exam se pehle paper ke question sir bata de to wo jaiz hai?

What are the symptoms of good girl/women in islam.?

Taqwa

My question is that is there anywhere in the books that a girl with brown skin is better than a girl with fair skin or while choosing girl for marriage brown skin girl is better compares to fair skin girl?

I am not aware of anything like that.

The Messenger of Allah (S) has forewarned, “A man who marries a woman for the sake of her wealth, Allah leaves him in his own condition, and one who marries her (only) for her beauty, will find in her (things) which he dislikes (unpleasing manners) and Allah will gather up all these things for one who marries her for the sake of her faith (religiousness).”

If we are praying on time so is it necessary that there should be a gap between magrabain or zoharain prayer or is it ok if we pray one after another

Gap is recommended but not necessary

I’m getting married soon and I want to ask my husband to make an donation as my mahr. But I don’t know what kind of donation will be most beneficial for people (and us)

The best charity is the one which is continuous - so if you donate to a masjid, school, hospital or any such place which will benefit others, as long as people benefit, you will continue to get the reward.

Is it makrooh for women to visit graveyard?
Is it better by a mother NOT to go the grave of her son as people say that the son will have to get up for taazeem of his mother and this will be difficult for him ?

No problem to go to graveyard as long as proper hijab is observed

I am Shia.The moment I started reading self help and motivational books I felt myself going away from God. And my belief below is valid. Please solve my doubts.
1. Science says you can achieve everything just by training your brain. then why should I pray Salah and cry before God and ask everything
2. people who do yoga and train their minds are also succesful

Praying and making Dua does not mean that you don’t train your brain. Train it by all means but you have to know that the creator of the brain is also the one in whose hands all the outcomes are. It is my responsibility to work, it is his responsibility to give the outcome. Similarly, nothing wrong with yoga and other things. Shariat is the way to train ones self spiritually just as these self help are good for psychology

Is it permissible to have sex during Ramadan. Can we have sex in the night and take bath before doing the sahar?

Yes

Humne istekhara dekha aur ye aayat aai
Surah Yusuf, Verse 44:
قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ الْأَحْلَامِ بِعَالِمِينَ

They said: Confused dreams, and we do not know the interpretation of dreams.

To kya ye achi aayat hai ya buri?
Kaam to anjam de

Kaam anjaam nahi dena behtar

I am wondering if a woman is expected to break her fast if she gets her period shortly before Iftar (i.e 1-2 hours before Iftar) or whether it is permissible to continue her fast.

Her fast will be invalidated the moment she gets her period and she will have to give its qadha afterwards even if the period start moments before Maghrib.

Some of the KFCs and Nandos claim to be halal, if you get satisfaction from their claims then you can eat there.

I have a question. If Wajib Namaz and Fast is missed due to periods, is it wajib to perform its qadha?

There is qadha for fasting but not prayers in the case of menstruation

I was wondering if it is haram for me to consume peptide collagen (usually in a powdered form) if it is derived from the cartilage, bones and joints of a bovine (cattle)? Obviously this animal will not have been slaughtered islamically but from my understanding the areas it’s derived from are non living so they are not haram to consume. Is this correct

It would not be allowed as far as I am aware, and would under the same ruling as gelatin.

However I would recommend that you email Ayatollah Sistani’s office as well to get clarification. Post@najaf.org

If a man and woman prays their salah (namaz) separately (furadah) in one room, is it allowed a man can pray his furadah salah (namaz) after (behind) a woman in the same room and is his salah (namaz) valid

If they are praying at the same time then the woman’s place of sajdah must be behind the place where the man places his knees otherwise both of their namaz is not valid. Alternatively, the man can wait and then pray once the woman is finished.

Are Khoja Ismaili considered taahir/paak ?

Only those who deny the essentials of the faith (such as Salat, Sawm and Hajj) are considered najis

Would like to know for instance our sunni brothers and sisters don't really follow the Imams. They only follow the Quran and the Prophet and the Sahaba. What about them for those who passed away? What happens about them. Do they get another chance and that will they be back at the reappearance of our Mawla?

Yes when Imam comes he would offer all the chance, including non Muslims.

We have in the riwayat that many of the non Muslims would accept the Imam and many believers would reject him.

Does this apply to those that passed away? For example my mother has passed away. She was a Sunni. Does this mean Mawla will offer a second chance to those that has passed away too? Would they be brought back to be guided by the Imam again?

Insha Allah

Is currency trading halal?

In matters of the currency notes, a person can sell one type of it for another, like toman against dinar or dollar, on credit, and on condition to receive more. But if he sells dollar for dollar, expecting more, then that transaction should not be on credit; otherwise it will be void and haraam. For example, if a person gives 100 dollars cash, on a condition that after six months he should be given 110 dollars, that is void and haraam.

If someone has been praying in the wrong qiblah direction (wrong by about 90degrees) for many years, do they have to pray qadha for all those prayers?

This mistake started from when we moved into a new house in 2012 and our father had determined the qiblah for us. Only a few days ago did I check again and noticed we were mistaken.

If it within 180 degrees either way then it is still fine
If it was completely opposite then prayers would have to be repeated.

I have a question about 49:13

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

(Sahih International)
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

-Sura Al-Hujurat, Ayah 13

I understand that the "peoples and tribes" refer to different cultures, ethnicities, etc. My question is, does this also refer to different religious groups? If so, then does this mean that Allah swt purposely meant for people to follow religions other than Islam?

A second question I have is what exactly does Allah swt mean when he says "that you may know one another" ?

Peoples and tribes refers to races and cultures.

To know each other = to recognise each other

If someone is bald or suffers from alopecia such that he wears a hair system/piece/wig that is stuck on to his head, can Ghusl be performed over such hair systems – whether temporary or permanent? Or must they be removed first, no matter how difficult that may be? The same question also for women with hair extensions/pieces. If it is too difficult to remove, then can Tayammum be performed instead of Ghusl Al-Janabah?

If the artificial hair is in the form of a wig, it would

Visiting the churches is also allowed.

I was wondering if the book Kitab E Sulaym is an authentic source? Is it permissible for one to read from this book and take from its teachings?

Yes it is authentic.

Is kosher meat allowed for Shias? In Sunni Islam, it is permissible. Why or why not is it allowed in Shia. Please provide reasoning.

It is not allowed because ﷽ is one the conditions of slaughter, and they do not recite that.

No it is not.
They are tahir according to our living fuqaha and this non meat food items prepared by them can be eaten, or halal meat which has been slaughtered in the correct way, if it was prepared by them, we can eat it.

Unfortunately I’m on a process of divorce. I would like to know after the divorce is it a must to give my wife all the Gold sets, rings which was given to her as a gift during our wedding by my family members. I don’t mind if the shariah says I have to give her but I am just feeling very bad as my mum had to sell her jewelry so that she can gift my wife and unfortunately things didn’t work well between us and i don’t have that much money to buy again for my mum.

If you are initiating the divorce, then you must pay the mahr to your wife before the divorce if you have not already done so.

Other than that, there is no obligation on you, however, it is better to give more than just the mahr as the Quran states:

2:229
Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allah . But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers.

I wanted to know if it is permissible for someone to give Unbelievers gifs like nail polish. The nail polish may violate hijaab but the unbelievers don’t consider hijaab anyway and wear nail polish and attract non mahrams.

No problem in gifting nail polish

What about the saying patience pays off. Is there any hadith in this context?

We have countless stories from all the prophets, for example the famous story of Yusuf, the calamities and the patience of Ayyub, of Musa, and of course our own Prophet (sawa)

The Quran says Seek help from prayer and patience, Allah is with the patient ones

A friend asked me if we believe in Hadiths I said yes but we differ on unauthentic and authentic sources even in the Shia community. Is that enough or should I specifically tell her that she as a sunni might believe in some I don’t? I’m asking this because she’s considering to marry a Shia man and I’m the only female Shia she knows. And I want to help my friend.

Yeah I think she should be in the know before going into the marriage.

There’s a girl that keeps talking to my fiancé, although he has never talked to her, and she’s falling in love with him and threatening to hurt herself if he blocks her, but she is causing problems between us, and she is sinning through talking to him (since she is talking about forbidden things), and he wants to block her but he’s afraid she will harm herself, so if he does block her will be held accountable for any harm she does for herself? Although he didn’t lead her on or anything?

No he is not accountable it sounds like she is blackmailing him into haraam and he has to save himself from that.

There is a app available now called "instacart" where you can work as someone who buys people groceries. Now there are many things in the store which are not halal for a muslim to eat but is delivering it an issue? My main concern would be pork.

Muta can only be carried out with father’s consent if the woman has not been married before.

I made an appointment with a coach to train at the gym, then my mom asks me to accompany her to a family gathering at about the same time. Am I to refuse and keep my word with the coach, or request the coach to change the gym class to another time?

While on a 14 hour flight going from east to west, we started the flight at night and arrived at our destination at night, with the date not changing. During these 14 hours, fair and Zohra in time did not seem to appear. What is the ruling Re the fajr and zohr in these circumstances?

The Namaz time will be in accordance with the time zone you are passing through at the time.

Usually on the plane they tell you what country you are going over and what the time is there. Therefore the time of Fajr and Zohr can be ascertained.

The question arises because the whole time during the flight (14-15hrs) it’s always night time. Therefore the time for fajr or zohr doesn’t arrive. When arriving at the destination it’s also night time. So do we have to pray fajr and zohr? Or do we have to pray maghribayn twice?

If it is still night time when you arrive then you will pray Fajr (and all the prayers after it) at your destination when the time arises.

As far as Maghrib is concerned, if you already prayed when you left then no need to repeat, however it is recommended to read it again.

I would like to know that sometimes when we get home late after work we don’t get time for namaz at work and we have to read it when we come back home. Now since it’s winters in USA and Maghrib is around 5:20. Is it okay to do zuhur and asr salaat as soon as we get home before maghrib? Also, since it’s almost maghrib time can we pray maghrib in the same wudhu or do we have to do wuzu again for maghrib??

First of all it is not allowed to make the namaz qadha.. You must get a place to pray during the time.

However if the time of Maghrib has come then you must pray Maghrib first and then pray any namaz that has become qadha.

You can pray all the namaz with one wudhu as long as it is valid.

My question is regarding feet hijab. Why is it Wajib to cover our feet and not hands as a part of hijab? What are the rulings on it ?

They say that every person is liable for their good and bad deeds on the day of resurrection. So when a person will be punished on that day then what punishment does he gets in barzakh? What happens to him in barzakh?

Barzakh means barrier between this world and the next world.

For those who have answered the questions in the grave correctly, they would go to a state of bliss if they have done righteous deeds and go for a mini punishment if they did evil deeds.

This is due to the fact that Allah wants the believer to be honoured on the day of judgement and not punished.

My question is that if we recite he qaza namaz later on so even then we'll be liable for punishment?

We would have committed a sin by making the namaz qaza. Therefore we must ask for forgiveness so that we are not punished for it.

So along with repenting qaza has to prayed? or just repenting is enough?

Both repenting and qaza

It is permissible in islam to listen music where All the sounds made only by human voice and hands (No instruments were used)?

I understand that a woman enters janabat when her husband enters her to the point of circumcision. however I wanted to ask if her husband stimulates her with his hands to the point of orgasm, does she enter the state of janabat?
Also are there any other ways and actions that cause a women to enter the state of janabat?

The fluid which a woman discharges in the state of lustfulness and which is called ejaculation – which normally takes place during orgasm – is treated as semen and it will cause janabat (in which case ghusl becomes obligatory). That is to say, ghusl becomes obligatory irrespective of whether there is climax or not. As for the fluid which comes out without lust or the fluid that comes but does not spread out to the underwear and which is only created with little sexual provocation, it does not cause any taklif (obligation) and if there is little fluid that reaches even the underwear but it is little, it is not considered to be ejaculation, so ghusl does not become obligatory.

Can you provide me with hadith or any example where Rasoolallah (saww) talks about the 12 imams.

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “Islam will continue to be triumphant until there have been twelve Caliphs, all of them from Quraysh.”


Narrated Jabir ibn Samura: The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “This matter (life) will not end, until it is passed by twelve Caliphs.” He then whispered a sentence. I asked my father what the Prophet said. He said, the Prophet added: “All of them will be from Quraysh.”

Narrated Jabir ibn Samura: I heard the Prophet saying, “There will be twelve commanders (Amir).” He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, the Prophet added, “All of them will be from Quraysh.”

Sahih Muslim (Arabic version) Kitab al-Imaara, 1980 Edition Pub. in Saudi Arabia, v3, p1452-3

Sahih al-Bukhari (English) Hadith: 9.329, Kitabul Ahkam. Sahih al-Bukhari (Arabic) 4:165, Kitabul Ahkam. Hadith #6682 (numbering of al-‘Alamiyyah)

In al-Khisal, Shaykh al-Saduq records the following on pages 466-7:
Ibn Mas`ud’s narration is related in different ways of narration, all related to Mujalid ibn Sa`id. At any rate, in some ways, Mujalid ibn Sa`id is not mentioned.
…Qays ibn `Abd narrated: We were sitting around `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud when a Bedouin came and asked about him. “I am `Abdullah,” answered he. “Did your Prophet (S) tell you about the number of his successors?” asked the Bedouin. “Yes, he did. They are twelve, like the number of the Israelite disciples,” answered `Abdullah.

In the same documentation, the narrations are recorded in Kamal al-Din wa Itmam al-Ni`mah, 271.

The famous scholar al-Dhahabi says in Tadhkirat al-Huffaz, vol. 4, p. 298, and Ibn Hajar al-’Asqalani says in al-Durar al-Kaminah, vol. 1, p. 67 that Sadruddin Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin al-Hamawayh al-Juwayni al-Shafi’i was a great scholar of Hadith.
The same Al-Juwayni reports from Abdullah ibn Abbas (r) from the Prophet (s) who said, “I am the chief of the Prophets and Ali ibn Abi Talib is the chief of successors, and after me my successors shall be twelve, the first of them being Ali ibn Abi Talib and the last of them being Al-Mahdi.”

Al-Juwayni also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (s) informed: “I and Ali and Hasan and Husayn and nine of the descendants of Husayn are the purified ones and the inerrant.” [Al-Juwayni, Fara’id al-Simtayn, Mu’assassat al-Mahmudi li-Taba’ah, Beirut 1978, p. 160.]

I wanted to ask that if I go to Imam Hussain's shrine and fall in sujood is it wrong? Why do sunnis call it shirk?

It is fine as long as it is not with intention of worship

Despite the differences between sunni and shias I see mostly shia scholars are never against a sunni shia marriage and sunni scholars are always strictly against it. Why is that so?

Question: Can a Shia man or woman marry a Sunni?
Answer: If there is fear that he or she might be misled, it is not permissible. The marriage is not advisable even if there is no such fear because of the consequences that the marriage may have for him/her or his/her children in the future.

The above is answer from Ayatollah Sistani.

I have a business into education tourism, where we take students to different countries to make them visit various companies and make them see how work is done in these companies.

Now challenge arises when colleges demand a music night to be arranged at the hotel they stay in.

When we deny, we loose business.

Is there a way out for us in this?

( we do not intent to earn profits from music party offering, nor do we spend our money on music.
1. We either ask the hotel to give them directly.
2. If money is involved, we ask client to pay as we do not intend to earn on music.

As far as I understand your question, it is not allowed.

If business A asks business B for a loan and business A stipulates the interest. If business B offers the loan and is paid the interest back does this count as riba?

Depends if businesses are run by Muslims or not.

See here:

https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01220/

So that means that if firm B is Muslim owned and it gives firm A which is not Muslim owned a loan, accepting interest from them is halal?

Correct

During Head Massah can one change the place or walk 4/5 Steps sit and do it. Is it valid ? Can we walk few steps

During masah one should be still.

However whilst washing the arms, one can move few steps and/or sit down, then do the masah.

Can a woman end the temporary marriage early? If so, how?

If not, can she add a condition in the marriage contract that gives her the right to end it?

She can ask the man to “gift her back the time”.

She can also add a condition to the contract that the man will gift her back the time whenever she asks.

Does Ghusl Al-Jum’ah compensate for Wudu? I think there’s a difference of opinion on this amongst scholars

As long as it is done before the time of Zawwal and after Fajr it counts

My question is: can I or one of my sisters lead the jamaat prayers at home without going to mosque if we don’t have time or cannot go out.
Can ladies read jamaat namaz at home? Is there any ruling that someone has to be more learned than the other to lead the prayers?

If there is my mother, sisters and sister in laws – maybe 3-5 ladies, can we read jamaat namaz at home? And is there ruling on who should or could lead the prayers?

It is possible and in fact very recommended. In the jamaat of ladies everyone would stand in one line including the Imam.

It is better that one who has more knowledge of the deen, and more taqwa, is the one who leads the jamaat.

We have an Alam room in our house the alams are kept in a glass cabinet we also have other pictures of the shrine of imam hussain and hazrat Abbas too we have one family picture where we had gone for Ziyarat too this picture is hung opposite the glass cabinet but above the height of the alams my mother in law thinks we shouldn’t keep the picture above the alams as she doesn’t feel appropriate. My question is does having the picture above the alams cause any disrespect ? Would this by any chance be a cause of problems arising in the family? I personally don’t think but just want to ask if I am wrong?

If it is seen as disrespect then it must be avoided.

If you need divorced for few years and want to remarry your ex wife. if she has not been with any man in this time, can she re marry her husband, or does she have to "be" with another man first.

Surah Baqarah, verse 230
And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allah . These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know.

If a man marry a lady and from her a boy born and she died. The same man marry again and from her a girl born. Can both of them marry each other

No they are brother and sister because their father is one and therefore it is haraam

I reside in the United States. Annually in our city the local mosque hosts a jhuloos. In the jhuloos the men and women walk the downtown streets reciting noha and matam. A small group of men remove their shirts and do matam. What is the ruling/recommendation on participating in such an event?

No problem in participating but women should not stare at the men’s chests.

But will the people that are walking past the jhuloos not get a negative idea about Islam by seeing this type of azadari on the streets? As this is being done in the west where it is not a norm to see people beat their chest.

That is up to individuals to decide themselves.

I would like to ask a question about intercourse between husband and wife. Is it permissible when performing oral intercourse for the wife to swallow the ejaculate of the husband? Is it haram or makruh

Oral intercourse is allowed and encouraged however swallowing is not allowed for either the man or the woman as the ejaculation is Najis.

Is it Allowed to sit on bikes which are parked on street without the permission of the owner of that bike?

I prayed qasr namaz at a place where it was not qasr for me bur i was not aware of it. Now i know it that it wasn't qasr for me so should i pray the qaza again?

You have to pray qadha

I wanted to ask that is there any amal to know if boy is right for me to marry or not?

You should speak to him first to find out if you are compatible with each other and then get advice from the elders.

If after that you are uncertain then we can advise of duas.

We are very worried about my sister marriage proposal she is now 32 and still unmarried. Proposals aty hain but kahin koi bat nahi banti. Log dekhne aty hain but koi bat nahi karta rishta ki. Pechly 6 saalon se esa ho rha hai. Its not like she has flaws or anything , she is an educated person.My parents are getting old day by day and they are so worried about my sister marriage. Please suggest me some dua for her marriage. I am her brother and I will make a dua for her.

Ask her to recite Ayat 74, 75, 76 of Surah Furqan 21 times after Namaz e Fajr for three days.

Also Ayat 36 of Surah Yaseen 100 times before Tahajjud for 40 days.

You can also recite it.

Can I recite this on behalf of her?

Yes you can but it’s better if she recite it herself.

The ayat to recite for 40 days, please clarify me it should be consecutive 40 days or what if we miss any day among 40 days and then continue on next day?

Try to be consecutive. If not then just continue.

If one doesn't have a water bottle handy in a public bathroom but the tap is close by, if one pours water from one's hand from the sink to clean ourselves does that count as Taharat?

As long as the quantity of water in the hands is enough to remove the najasat then it is fine

My question is regarding the extent of right of a husband over his wife.
Firstly does a husband have the right to forbid his wife from visiting her parents (and relatives) possibly due to ego issues ( between him and his in-laws).
Moreover, some people believe husbands to be controllers of their wife in every aspect of her life and quote various Hadeeth from the 14 infallibles. To what extent is this correct in the religion of Islam.

Wa alaykum salaam
Husbands have authority but not to that extent.
Being good to relatives is an obligation. Husband can not prevent that.

Secondly, husband cannot ask wife to do anything against the shariah.

Can you please elaborate on the kind of authority given to husbands in Islam and to what extent is it lawful.
Many people have been abusing this "authority" in the name of Islam.

Only authority that husband has that wife has to get permission to leave the house and she has to be willing when it comes to sexual desires. (That doesn’t mean force but she shouldn’t refuse without any good reason).

اگر کوئی غریب شخص پوری زندگی کافر کی زندگی جیتا ہے تو مرنے کے بعد وہ جہنم مے جائے گا
اور اگر کوئی امیر شخص پوری زندگی کافر کی زندگی جیتا ہے تو وہ بھی جہنم میں جائے گا
خدا تو عادل ہے اور عدل کا تقاضہ طو یہ نہیں کہتا

عدل کا تقاضہ یہ ہے کہ جو اللہ کو اور جنت کو مانتا ہی نہیں اس کو جنت کیا دی جائے

ہاں یہ ضرور ہے کہ اللہ کافر کو بھی آخرت میں چانس دیگا۔ اگر اس وقت بھی وہ مان لے تو بچ سکتا ہے

My question to you is on one hand we have in Quran the event of how adam and hawaa were expelled from heaven on eating the forbidden apple and then on the other hand we have science which states theory of evolution in a very logical manner and supports the same with proof of fossils found millions And billions of years ago. Also in our body we have vestigial organs like nictitating membrane in eyes which was used by us when we we're living in water or appendix which was used to digest plants And leaves when we ate them which are a proof of scientific theory of evolution.

Evolution and creation can be reconciled.

(Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir pbuh said: Since the creation of the earth, God Almighty has created seven peoples who are not descendants of Adam. He created them from the soil of the earth and caused them to inhabit it, one after the other, each with his own people. Then, God Almighty created the father of this mankind, and He created his offspring from him." Al Sadooq 1982, 359. Arabic source, translated. Also Al-Ayashi 1991, vol. 2, 238.)

(The Prince of the Believers, Ali pbuh said: "God Almighty wanted to create a creation with His own hands after 7,000 years of Jinn and Nisnas existing on earth. He wanted to create Adam... I want to create a creature with My hands, and I want to make from his offspring prophets, messengers, righteous servants, and guided Imams, and make them vicegerents among My creation on My earth, who command them against disobeying Me, warn them of My torment, guide them to My obedience, and guide them to the path toward Me. I shall make them Proofs of Mine upon the others, and I will exterminate the Nisnas on My earth and cleanse it of them." Al-Qumi 1983, vol 1, 36. Arabic source, translated.)

We understand from the narrations of the household of The Prophet pbuhap about these beings called Nisnas, meaning human like in Arabic. Nowadays we know from Science about Neanderthals and Homo Erectus, and other human like beigns which have been confirmed by the fossil records, which preceded Homo Sapines. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir pbuh and Imam Ali pbuh knew and talked about it over 1000 years ago.

Is it alright if I go to mixed gym in the West since I can't find any men only gym here? Also what if I go during times where no women are present?

is it harram to go to mixed gyms?

According to Agha Sistani it is not permissible if women are there.

If you go at times when women are not there then it is alright.

I have an elder brother who was interested in marriage since he was a teenager. We started looking for a potential wife for him as he entered his (AGE) but now almost for X years we could not do anything!!! We have taken proposal to many homes but all were rejected for not strong reasons!!! We seriously don’t know what to do!!!
He lives in (REMOVED) at my sister’s home but he is facing difficulties with my brother in law, my mother is very concerned about him as he doesn’t have a home(family), and she fears that he may enter gunah in foreign lands!!!

Please advice us some dua !!!

Recite Ayat 74 of Surah Furqan 21 times a day insha Allah you will get a good match for him.

I’m working here in (REMOVED) in a private Training Institute. Since the country has a Strong Coalition with (REMOVED). Should we continue to have JOB in (REMOVED)?

No problem

Proximity to a masjid may mandate that one offers prayers there instead of at his home. Does this rule apply to (REMOVED) Masjids as well? One is even less than a block away. While the Shia center is about a 25 min walk away.

The rule is for masjids with Shia imam of jamaat, however, it is recommended to join with the (REMOVED) in prayer especially if it would give a good impression of our faith. You would have to make your own niyyat and do all the recitations yourself in a low voice.

The narrations emphasise it for those who can see the masjid from their houses so I think you would be outside that criteria.

This is from Sistani.org

1410. It is not permissible to absent oneself from the congregational
prayers unduly, and it is not proper to abandon congregational prayers
without a justifiable excuse.

It think this related to my last question.

Could the distance not matter if it is not difficult to travel, since we have cars and such, or do you think the hadiths are literal (as in if you cant see the Masjid prayers are not obligatory)?

If you can attend without much difficulty then you should

Can a gents Dr do a delivery of women ?

It is only permissible in case of necessity otherwise it is not allowed

I know that when there is a paper that contains any name of Allah or Qur’anic verses or anything muqadas in Arabic, you cannot toss it away. Does the same apply to when they’re written in English?

If it’s written in English you can recycle it

“Are there any Islamic legislations from the Noble Prophet (S) and the Infallible Leaders (as) by way of the noble ahadith or verses of the Quran in which we have been recommended to marry up to four and not more than four?

Surah Nisa gives strict instructions about how to deal with more than one wife which people would struggle with to be honest..

While i know fasting on the day of Aashura is haram, can you pls specify which are the days in the first nine days of Moharrum when fasting is a highly recommended act.

Is it allowed (jaez) to open saving account, in which we get an annual profit??
if yes, how its khums would be paid? mean seperately or combined with total annual saving of income??

It’s allowed and khums is combined with total annual savings.

And would there be wajib sadqa (50%) on that amount??

Sadaqah is mustahab any amount you want to give.

My question is regarding khums on Shares I am holding. For example I bought some shares in january and my khums date is in june but I am not selling it yet. So in june whether
1) I have to pay khums on the price I bought
2) I have to pay khums on the price which is current price
3) I have to pay khums when I sell the shares and whatever amount I receive , either profit or loss.

In June you will pay khums on the price at that time (if it has gone up).

What if I paid this june as the price was high and since july it was going down and I have to sell it in loss?

As in june I would not be sure that until when I would be holding those shares

Doesn’t matter what happens after June
If you have them until your khums date you pay the khums at the value on that date.

We got some work done by a Sayyed brother. He charged us a lot more than he had made the deal. Also he lied outright. Now what I want to ask is, that, if he is lying to us and taking money unlawfully should we just give him thinking of Let Go. Is it possible that we will be asked in akherat that that why did we not do nahi Anil munkar with him and why did we let him consume rizk e Haram

Did you have the deal in writing?
If so you should consult a lawyer and send him a notice if he doesn’t cooperate.

I am asking this question more from akherat point of view. No deal in writing. I had made a list of jobs to do and whatsaped him. He had verbally given the price. Now he is demanding more than double. If we give him it will be rizk e haraam for him coz it has been seen he lies too much. He has four children. I don't want them and him to be doomed in this world or akherat. So have asked. Also i don't want us to be questioned that why did you let him earn this unlawfully from you.

If you can reason with him then ok but if not then it’s not your responsibility for his akhirat. He is responsible for his own.

You are not responsible since Quran says any agreement should be in writing. Without any written agreement there is no shari obligation on either side.

Kia hum log ahle sunnat ki jamaat ke sath apni namaz jamat se pad sakte hai kia

یک مرد مسلمان مجرد ساکن کشور غیر اسلامی میتواند با خانم اهل کتاب صیغه موقت بخواند. صیغه موقت نیاز به مکتوب شدن و شاهد هم ندارد و حتی میتواند به زبان غیر عربی هم خوانده شود و بعضا نیازی به اذن پدر هم نیست. تحت این شرایط ان مرد مسلمان میتواند هر روز زن اهل کتاب متفاوتی را به صیغه موقت خود در بیاورد و رفتارش هم کاملا شرعی است. ایا این صحیح است؟ این مغایر اخلاق اسلامی نیست؟

این درست نیست شاهدان لازم هستند و بنابراین پدران اجازه می دهند

اگر شاہد نیست و اجازہ نداریند باطل شد

Are we allowed to eat oysters?

It is not allowed

Kindly advise the ruling of eating non halal food by mistake. how can one cleanse oneself? and in a situation where you dont know a place, can you consume non halal food since it's a new place and you dont know the halal places in that particular town or city..

My question is about praying with shoes on, is this allowed according to our maraaji'?

No it is not permissible to pray with shoes on according to any of the maraje since in sajdah the toes must be touching the ground, which is not possible whilst wearing shoes.

For example, if someone lost their daughter or father and they kept seeing them in their dreams or seeing signs of them in their daily lives, are these ways the people in 3alam al barazakh can communicate with us through?

It is possible.

I work in the administrative department of a bank in (REMOVED), where the shares of the bank are owned by Non muslims. The role involves dealing with clients pension and investments account, from an interest perspective, the clients do earn interest. My role is just actioning request, closing accounts and sometimes applying the interest onto the account. Considering the above. is there any sharia issues in working in the bank

Q1899. What is the ruling in the matter of working in banks that deal with ribā, especially if there are no other jobs to do?
A: If the work in the bank is, in any way, related to ribā-based transactions, it is not permissible. However, the claim that no other ḥalāl employment by which to earn a living is available is not a valid reason to dabble in ḥarām business.

Monday and Thursday

Who are the ahlul kitaab. there are three books before Al Qur'an : Taurat, Zabur and the Injeel. Which book is Allah referring to as Kitaab because He did not say ahlul Kutub?

There are more than three books before the Quran, all the Rusul (313) were sent with a book. Quran tells about the book of Ibrahim even though we don’t know its name.

Ahlul Kitab refers to the Jews and Christians as it is commonly used, since followers of other books have now become extinct.

Tell me is it compulsory for us to recite Surah-Al-Ikhlas in 2nd Raka'at or we can recite any other Surah instead of Ikhlas.

It is necessary to read Surah Ikhlas. in either the first or the second rakat.

I have a question about make-up and I would like to hear the answer in arabic to show it to friends and family. According to ayatollah Sistani, is it Halal or Haram to put on make-up and then appear with it in public so that non mahram man are able to see it?

سؤال : هل يجوز للمرأة التي لا تستر وجهها إزالة الشعر عن وجهها ، وتصفيف حواجبها ، ووضع المساحيق الطبيعية الخفيفة على الوجه؟
جواب : إزالة شعر الوجه وتصفيف الحواجب لا يمنعها من كشف وجهها بشرط الأمن من الوقوع في الحرام ، وعدم كون الإبداء بداعي وقوع النظر المحرم عليها. وأما مع استخدام مساحيق التجميل فلا بدّ من ستر الوجه.

It is not permissible

I am currently studying pharmacy assistant, Hospital pharmacy assistant and regular pharmacy assistant. I think I like hospital pharmacy the most
But there is one problem I should expose my throat (wearing hijab but everyone can see my throat) and wearing short sleeves ( hospital pharmacy uniform) the reasons of exposing is because if you are busy preparing medicines, everything should be really hygienic and really clean)
My question is: is it haram to specialize myself to hospital pharmacy and expose my throat and arms

It’s not allowed to do anything to do anything which needs you to violate the sharia

Are there any consequences if going against istikhara or is it just an advice

It’s better not to go against an istikhara but if you must then you should give some money in sadaqah

I am well respected as a believer in the community for the acts I do, but I have an inner self that is dragging me towards hell fire. I have stopped praying Salat for laziness or don’t know. I am married yet I masterbate and watch pornography. Is there any way to remove hypocrisy and tame my inner wild?
I would request to advise me with practical solutions.

Try to attend jamaat prayers in your local mosque in order to maintain your prayers

Regarding masturbation, try to spice up your married life so that you do not have to resort to it. Your wife can pleasure you with her hands if that is what you would desire.

I was just having a discussion with a brother who said that a spouse cheating on their spouse isn't haram? And that lying to your wife isn't haram too?

He also said that a husband would not need to take the permission of his first wife if he's thinking about marrying another woman as his second.

What are the rulings with these things?

Cheating and lying are sins, so they are both definitely haraam.

Whilst husband doesn’t not need permission of his first wife from a shari point of view, but if it is illegal to marry a second in any country then it is not allowed, and if in the law of the country one needs permission of the first wife, then it would be necessary.

Can you plz tell me what time does dhuhr and as prayer time expires and becomes a qadha prayer?
Like before maghreb or When?
I usually pray at school but sometimes I miss it so i get home around 4 or sometimes 5 and i pray dhuhr and as then? so is it okay or do i pray qadha?

Asr prayer time is until just before sunset and Zuhr prayer time ends slightly before that. As long as you say both before sunset then it is fine.

If a promise is broken and you are not healthy to fast for 3 days what other options do you have ?

I have one doubt
whether we have to pray qasr namaz or full namaz in Mina Arafat and muzdaffah

Note
we are in Makkah for 11 days and our stay in Makkah is 2-3 kms only

A traveller can offer full prayers in Masjidul Haram and Masjidul Nabi and Masjid of Kufa, and even in the entire cities of Makkah, Madina and Kufa. He can also offer full prayers in the Haram of Imam Husayn (A.S.), upto the distance of 25 armlengths from the sacred tomb.

Is it necessary to have been given "permission" by a scholar or marja to do istekhara by yourself with a tasbih

Not as far as I’m aware

I want to know that whether the death of Janab e Sakina(-the 4 year old baby child of Hazrat Hussain) and the death of Prophet Muhammed, both of these person's death were martyrdom or just normal natural death? please reply with reason also for the answer.

Bibi Sakina died a natural death.
The Prophet ﷺ was poisoned. It is mentioned in Tafsir Qummi and Tafsir Ayyashi in the commentary of 3:142

I understood your answer..but why do you call the death of Bibi Sakina, a natural death? she also was part of oppression of karbala , kept thirsty, beaten, and then she died , so isnt her death a martyrdom? isnt it wrong to think that a 4 year old baby just die naturally ?

In reality every momin is shaheed as the Hadith mentions, but she was not executed or poisoned.

A dear friend recently approached me and asked regarding why the shia sect recites the shortened darood in the namaz and in general, and not the full ibrahim darood.

I've never really thought about this before, so approached you here.

Also a mini question:

what stones( for the ring) are recommended and which specific did the imams and the prophet(saw) wear? Also give details regarding which hand and fingers are more recommended to wear the rings on.

All the sects recite durood on Muhammad and Aale Muhammad in namaz as ordered by the Hadith of the Prophet.

Aqeeq is the most recommended stone.

Other valuable stones recommended are ruby, emerald, firoza etc.

I wanted to ask that we use soy melts which are used with a tea candle where the soy block melts and releases fragrance in the air. If the product is named Champagne with fruits and may have traces of champagne, is it permissible to use that scent?

Better to avoid

Is chicken as close to a pigs meat and makrooh to eat according to Imam Ali (as)?

Not as far as I’m aware

Yes but it is makrooh

If a sister begins wearing Hijab say around the age of 20, and there are pictures of her without Hijab in the past in circulation (on phones, photo albums), even accessible to non-Mahrams, what is her duty? Secondly, are pictures of girls under the age of 9 permissible to be seen by non-Mahrams (even if they are now older than that)? [Some people say no because men would be able to know what colour their hair now is for example.]

In the second question, it’s not allowed.

With regards to the first, it’s better to try and remove them from circulation if it’s within their control.

In the UK, everyone will soon be automatically be opted-in to donate organs after death. We have the option to opt-out while we are alive. Should we be opting-out, or is it fine to stay opted-in?

We have to opt out.

Does a washing machine in the UK render Najis clothing Tahir? For example, if one had a wet dream, is it sufficient to put the Najis trousers in the washing machine (mixed with other clothes, and washing detergents, etc.)? Or if I had blood on my t-shirt, can I just wash it in a washing machine to make it Tahir? Or must I place the Najis clothing under water once to get rid of the Najasah, and then once again place it under running water (as told heRE: https://youtu.be/loEEoqc-AcM)?

You must remove the actual najasah from the clothes before washing it. Once the najasah has been removed, then you can put it in the washing machine and as the water is more than kurr it will make it purified.

I have two questions regarding khums. If one is in dept, is it obligatory upon them to pay Khums? And who do I directly give my khums to for them to distribute it out?

Depends on the kind of debt. If it is a long term debt (like a student loan, mortgage etc) then khums is wajib on whatever you have remaining after all your expenses at the end of the year.

If it’s a short term loan like day to day then you wouldn’t pay khums.

In case you have to pay, 20% of your savings of which half goes to needy and poor Sadaat whom you can give it to yourself if you choose, the other half goes to your mujtahid or his representative. The Sadaat portion can also go to your mujtahid who would distribute it accordingly.

I was jobless for almost one year and after so many efforts Alhamdolillah i got a job,But here we have to be clean shaved everyday,This is the process that i have to follow otherwise they will fire me from the job of i keep beard,In this situation what can i do,considering i got the job after 1 year of extreme hard work in search of it

According to Agha Sistani, if it is extreme hardship that is more than the usual person can bear, then you can.

However, you should try to reason with them regarding this issue, if it is at all possible.

Due to health issues my wife wanted to consume Ovaltine manufactured in the UK. In the ingredients, most of them look fine but wanted to know if Barley Malt which is on the list is halal or not?

Yes it is halaal

My question is in regards to a Hadith from Imam Ali(as) in which he says: It is incumbent upon God to cure one who conceals his ailment and complains only to Him.

my question is: can we act on this hadith, seeing that doctors today often emphasize the immediate treatment of some ailments.

I would understand this Hadith to be regarding spiritual ailments and not physical.

As we have narrations saying that for every ailment Allah has created a cure. And we have to take care of our health.

I used to make Ghusl under the impression that they were considered mustahab at all times. I found out that there was a limited list of times and occasions in which Ghusl would be considered Mustahab. So it seems that I had prayed with Ghusl that was not sufficient for prayers. Are these prayers required to be made up in qadha?

Yes you have to make up the prayers.

What is the ruling on consuming foods, given as gifts from Non Muslims, which may have been bought with Gambling winnings?

Wa alaykum salaam
The source of income of the one who gives you a gift is not important or relevant to you.

As long as the food is halal and tahir, you can consume it.

when a worshipper finds that he is prone to showing off in acts of worship such as Salat especially in front of others, is it at all advisable for him to continue attending or praying at the Islamic Centers? also should he take precaution and not attend when the probability of committing the sin of showing off is very probable?

This is a waswasah from shaytan. A person should work to eliminate the showing off without having to stop going to the mosques or Islamic centres. In fact in most cases the prayers of the one who lives close to the mosque is not accepted in the home.

What is the ruling if someone who does not earn enough to support themselves, living with their mother, giving of one's small savings in order to help an elder brother who is going through financial problems. (the financial problems may be due to substance abuse or being excessively open handed with his friends and associates) Also, if the older brother has expressed interest in Islam. Also, if ones mother would be opposed to the younger assisting the older brother, would her permission be required?

Helping elder brother is recommended but primarily one has a responsibility to themselves and their dependents.

Sounds like elder brother needs some professional help dealing with the issues, if due to your help he comes close to Islam then it is definitely worth it.

In these scenarios, permission from the mother is not necessary.

If a person is in janabat and there isn't water at home for ghusl-e-janabat. is it okay to perform taimum and perform Namaaz?

One must search for water or buy it if they can and if not then they have to wait until the end of the time and search for water in the mean time. If at the end of the time for namaz there is no water then they can do tayammum.

Plz help us with the details as in what pregnant women should do or dont in lunar eclipse…

Depends what you have to do. Painting nude models or statues is not allowed according to Ayatollah Sistani.

1: who is meant by "awal , akhir" in ziarate ashura,who are cursed, and similarly who are awal, sani, salis n raabe…
2: the verses that are to be recited in sajda, may these can be recited by sitting(not in sajda)??? ; when ziarat is being recited on regular basis for fulfilment of here n hereafter hajaat and to say salam to Imam AS…

Minimum of 3 days and maximum of 10 days will be considered haydh

Anything after that you will consider it to be istihadha and follow the rules of istihadha for them

Is it permissible for a man to wear a diamond ring? are there any hadiths in this regard

please guide me about the Namaz e qasr and it's rule's. And How to perform namaze qasr

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2250/

above link was very helpful but I didn't understand about the hometown part. Means if I am going to my hometown or to my native place and stays there approximately 9-10 days. Then how would I pray my Namaz ? By shortening my prayers or should I pray full prayers ?

If you go to your hometown then even if you stay one day you have to say full prayers

Ok, but we can offer Namaz with Jamat

Yes you can offer Namaz with jamaat during travelling

Salam, how to remove fitrah please guide me

LAW: 2022
As an obligatory precaution Fitrah should be paid to Shiah poor only, who fulfil the conditions mentioned for those who deserve receiving Zakat. But if there is no deserving Shiah in one's hometown, it can be given to other deserving Muslims. But in no circumstances should Fitrah be given to Nasibi - the enemies of Ahlul Bait (A.S)

If our guest visits at our home before 2-3 days of eid, and on the last Eve of ramzan if they do iftari with us, so we have to give any sort of fitr or what? Please guide me for the same.

It is obligatory to pay the fitrah of a guest who arrives at his house before sunset on Eid ul fitr night

This is the ruling of Ayatollah Sistani saheb

If blood is continuous for 3 days then after that there is break then blood again, do I have to pray in the break? If yes then do I have to do ghusl before prayer?

450. If a woman sees blood continuously for three days, and then it stops for a brief period before it is seen again, and if the total number of days in which blood was seen and in which it stopped does not exceed ten, then the days in which blood flowed will be counted as of Hayz, and the in between period of respite will be of obligatory precaution, during which she will do all that she should do when she is pure, and also refrain from all those acts which are forbidden to the Haaidha.

As different Shias have different eids how comes it doesn’t affect the Islamic calendar? Like some start shawal today then some start it tomorrow, so shouldn’t those that start it tomorrow be behind by one day? So for instance they should start muharram one day after?

Usually after a few months it’s syncs back up again as no one is really that concerned with moonsighting outside of Ramadhan and Eid

Wsalaam
Better to avoid travelling on Monday if possible, however you can read the Surah and also give sadaqah in order to be protected from any ill effects.

my father passed away and i was wondering what to do with the money im the only son 4 sisters one is 18y.o and my mom how does the split work

1) did your father make any wasiyyah?
2) are your fathers parents alive?

No wassiya , both are dead

After removing all the wajib obligations (if there were any) 1/8 goes to your mother and the rest to children, you will get double the share of your sisters.

M daughter is 12 islamically 13 and wears hijab. Can she take swimming lessons with a female instructor? If there are men sitting outside of pool is it allowed? If some men but they are busy with their children or are elderly in the pool and are on another side of the pool can she take these lessons or go in to swim? I feel bad that her brothers are allowed but she isn’t. Are there other options for her to go swimming in the summer? She has a hijabi swimsuit that is loose and also swim shoes to cover her feet.

From Ayatollah Sistanis site:

Question: What is the Islamic opinion to swimming in unisex environments such as the beach, swimming pools, and other areas?
Answer: It is not permissible.

So the only option would be women only gyms and swimming pools but even there sometimes the lifeguards and instructors are Male.

If I’m praying maghrib salat and and during tashahud I am not sure if it is my 2nd or 3rd rakaat but think it is my 2nd so I get up in qiyam and realize that it was most likely that it was my 3 rd rakaat and I should have completed the salat, should i just complete that 4 th rakat (now that I know its the 4th rakat), do the salam and end it and then do Sajdataw saww or is that entire salat void and I have to offer it again? Jzk

Whole salah is void. Doubts can only be repaired in 4 rakat prayers.

During Shahr Ramadhan , If I arrive from travelling to my home before dhuhr time but after Fajr, will i be fasting this day since I got home before Dhuhr and have not eaten?

You must make niyyat before dhuhr time then you would fast that day

Is it wajib to perform sajida on turbah?
I have a toddler who takes away my sajdigah while I'm praying. In that case am I allowed to fo sajda on the mat or should I break the namaz and arrange for sajdigah.
Also sometimes I have to perform namaz at a place where I don't have turbah for example airport or at a friend's house. Is it okay to pray without turbah.

Turbah is the best thing to perform sajdah on. If not available then any naturally grown substance which is not eaten or worn can be used for sajdah such as leaves, grass, stones etc

If your toddler will take the turbah you have to hold it in your hand and only put it down when you are doing the sajdah. It is not allowed to do it on the mat (unless the mat is made straw etc) nor is it allowed to break the namaz.

At Airport or friends house one can use white paper to do sajdah or keep a small turbah with them.

Can a person take steam inhalation in fast .

There doesn’t seem to be any prohibition as it is not liquid but better to avoid

what are the rules regarding women who are in the phase of Menopause?
where one gets their regular Hayz then nothing for 1-3months….
If then they see light pink blood only during urination…. nothing on the pad??
does she wait….. or do wudhu and pray?
is ghusal wajib?

441. The blood seen by women after the age of 60 years is not classified as Haydh. And as per recommended precaution, women who are not from Sadaat, if they see blood between the age of 50 and 60 years, having the same signs as those of Haydh, they should combine the 'dos' of mustahaza and 'don'ts' of Haaedha

is it permissible to pray wajib daily namaaz without wudhu if you have done a wajib ghusal ??

There is no wudhu after wajib ghusl

I've recently heard that after ghusal e janabat you can't pray any namaz…. You have to do wudhu (Sistani taqlid)
Any other ghusal like Hayz/istahaza … you can pray namaz without wudhu.

That is not correct. There is no wudhu after a wajib ghusl whether for janabah or haydh.

I am wondering if mortgage is viewed as halal, and if so what are the criteria. The sunni brothers and sisters claim that getting a loan on cars or getting student finance is permissible, as you know exactly how much you’re paying back at the end of the day, however with mortgage they claim that it’s haram as we are unaware how much interest we are paying each year, and the price of the house at the end of the mortgage. Please could you kindly explain to me the view the sistani marja’.

https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01256/

I am wondering whether it is necessary to break ones fast when travelling, or can one continue fasting?

It is necessary to break the fast if travelling for less than 10 days. It is haraam to fast whilst travelling

As for the jurists who do not rule that the permission of a girl's father is required, what’s Sistani’s view on this? Also if the girl has not been in a sexual relationship with another man before, I’ve heard that you can’t do Mut’ah with her, what’s Sistani’s view on this too?

Sayed Sistani’s view is that father’s permission is necessary in all cases for virgins, and also for those who have lost their virginity outside of marriage (in other words through zina).

A Sunni brother asked in regards to verse 33:33 in Quran about the Ahlulbayt, he said;

Shia uses the hadith Al-Kisa to prove that Ahlulbayt is only Ali Fatima Hasan and Hussian. But they disagree with it. According to them, Ahlulbayt consists of 14 people.

They say that verse 33:33 is about Fatima Ali Hasan and Hussian. And they think the verse is proof that they are infallible.



My question is, if the verse is about 4 people. What about the remaining 9 imams, how are they infallible if the hadith and verse only deal with 4 people?

All matters relating to the verse including your question are answered in this lecture https://youtu.be/svJwsS2ZWJQ
Starts at 17:00 min

There is a book called "احکام بانوان در شریعت محمدی" by Ahmad Ghabel in farsi. in this book there are some Ahadis saying hijab is not vajeb or does not include hair. are these ahadis legit?

I haven’t read the book so can’t comment on that.

But according to nearly all of our mujtahideen the ahadith about covering everything except face and the hands are the most authentic.

If I’m married to a boy do i need to listen to everything he says? Example if sayid sistani accepts something that i can do and my husband dont. Must i listen to my husband?

You have to obey your husband in the matter of sexual intercourse and leaving the house.

Other than that, it is mustahab to obey unless he asks you to do something haraam when you will not obey.

Can a girl put mascara and makeup

Yes though if it is considered external beauty then it needs to be covered from non mahrams.

So she cant put?

If she puts then she has to cover her face.

what is the ruling on fasting when you are travelling? Do I have to break the fast, can I not keep all of it if I choose to?

You must break the fast and make it up later on . It is haraam to fast whilst travelling for less than 10 days

oh right, even if I leave after dhuhr?

If you leave after Zuhr and return back home before Zuhr then you fast

میں نے کچھ رقم کہیں سے قرض لی ہے گھر خریدنے کے لئے۔ ابھی میں گھر تلاش کر رہا ہوں کہ میری خمس کی تاریخ آگئی ہے۔ تو کیا میں اُس قرض والی رقم پر بھی خمس دونگا یا نہیں؟

There has been a topic going across social media. In which many are suggesting that a woman with incomplete Hijab, such as wearing a Turban or having some parts uncovered, is best wearing no Hijab until she can wear the complete and Shar3i Hijab.

Is that assumption correct?

We cannot make such assumptions.

Hijab is covering everything except the hands and face. May Allah give us all the strength to obey his commands.

My question is regarding Qad’aa salahs. How does one make up for several years of lapsed Salahs. Considering between ages 14-16 I wasn’t the most religious individual, what’s my obligation for those 2 years?

Wa alaykum salaam
You can pray as many as you remember you haven’t done.

Aisi soorat mein Woh roza nahi rakhega aur qasr namaz parhega hata ke 30 din guzar jayein. Phir 31ve din se poori namaz aur roza rakhega.

always confused betwen choices and anxious and negative overthinking. how should I be avoiding such problem..I lose my energy overthinking and when it comes to start doing the task..I'm already tired and uninterested.

Try to focus on the outcome, also if possible, break it down into smaller tasks and do them one by one.

I have cut my finger very deep and it hasn’t stopped bleeding. How do I perform wudhu?

Wrap it around tight with a bandage and then you can pass your hand over the bandage for washing

Is it okay to recite mustahab salats when you have a bunch of Qadha salats to fulfill?

Yes however it is better to fulfill the qadha prayers as soon as possible.

Is it permissible to pay extra khums as a matter of precaution?

Yes

There are two Maraji that are commonly known as the most knowledgeables Maraji today. Unfortunately, I'm not able to choose between them because I don't have enough knowledgement to do so. Even if I refer to other scholars, there is a difference of opinion in which one of them is the A'lam. How should I proceed in this case?

If you believe both of them to be on the same level in light of advice from religious scholars, then you must follow both, and where there is a difference in opinion you have to take the stricter opinion (haraam/makrooh, wajib/mustahab) etc.

In this case, to whom should I pay khums? To any of them? I need to pay it as soon as possible but I don't know to whom.

You can give to either one or half and half to both.

When I see brown discharge on the 9th day of my period is it hayz?

Hayz is usually thick and warm and its colour is either black or red. It is discharged with a pressure and a little irritation.

I am a few years old in the madheheb of Imam Jaffer. How do I pay khums, when and to who. Please let me have all the conditions

i always have bad dreams they either involve animals such as cats, dogs, rats, snakes attacking me or being on me and not getting off or dreams of people i know dying. most of the time my dreams are not pleasant. just 2 nights ago i had a dream of a black dog attacking me, does this mean anything? should i pay sadaqah? if so how do i pay it?

You should recite 4 Qul, Ayatul Kursi and Tasbeeh of Zahra (as) before sleeping.

Also sadaqah is giving any amount of money or goods to a person in need. No specific amount.

How can one concentrate and focus whilst praying salat ?

Try to prepare before the time of salat. When you do wudhu think of washing off not just the physical body but of cleaning the soul.

Then try to do salat in a place where there are no distractions. Pronounce each word carefully reflecting on the meanings.

Is machine cut of chicken halal in Canada because only halal machine cut is available here

Question: Meat companies slaughter a large number of chickens at one time [that is, simultaneously]. Now if the person running the slaughtering machine is a Muslim, who says takbír and says the name of Allãh only once at the time of slaughtering all the chicken [simultaneously], is it permissible for us to eat those chickens? If we have doubt about these chickens being halãl, can we [ignore that doubt and] eat them and consider them pure (tãhir)?
Answer: If he repeats the name of Allãh as long as the machine is continuing to slaughter, it is sufficient. In the event of doubt about its being halãl (a doubt which arises concerning the mentioning of the name of Allãh), it can be considered pure and be consumed.

What if there is difference in opinion with Wakeel of Ayatullah regarding the moon sighting? What should one do

Why is it recommended to fast for those who are not married? I heard it is to control desires. Also, is it Haram to not get married?

Fasting reduces the intensity of desires.
It is wajib to get married if by not doing so one will fall into haraam.

I have for a very long time felt lack of motivation and dedication to practice the deen. Although I never gave up on my salah and I try to read qur’an as much as possible. I just feel hopeless and I have a hard time finding peace within myself. I really don’t know what to do in order to get myself together and I’d love some advice from you.

Try to have some short term achievable goals both in your personal life as well as professional and spiritual. Write them down and have them in front of you daily. You can keep it on your phone as a reminder.

Help them as a way to get motivation for when the times are tough.

Someone close to me was at a restaurant recently and she happened to see the boyfriend of her non-muslim friend with another women. The person I'm close with saw the boyfriend and the other women be somewhat intimate and this lead her to believe that the boyfriend may be cheating. So she was wondering whether it would be permissible under those circumstances to inform her friend of what she saw, or is this a matter we should stay out of.

There’s no obligation to inform but also no harm in doing so either, guess it depends on the level of friendship as gheebah is only of believers.

I was out for 2 days and my namaz was qasr over there and while praying zohar prayer i stand up after reciting tashhud and set on after realizing that its qasr so sat down with reciting anything and again i recited my tashhud and salam and did a sajd e sahw after namaz, is my namaz proper? And if not what should i do now

yes that’s fine

If a bucket is connected to a 1000 liter water tank can it be called as jari water or qor water?

Yes it can be considered more than kurr

i had applied an cream on my ata of urination n after some time a go for urination and after istibra and made my hands paak after it theni see some creamy/oily part on my hand, is my hands pak or najis coz i have read a qna of agha sistani he said a little cream makes no effects

If it is after istibra then it is paak

Normally while buying chicken from a butcher's shop i see some blood in chicken in one case a drop off blood came in my body and shirt is that blood paak, because the blood left after the slaughtering

98. If an animal whose meat is halal to eat, is slaughtered in accordance with the method prescribed by Shariah, and enough blood flows out, the blood of which is still left in its body is Pak. However, the blood which goes back into the body of the animal due to breath, or because of its head having been at a higher level at the time of its slaughtering, is najis.

So how will i get to know that blood is paak or najif if i don't now the scene that where did bloood came from like its the left blood or the returned blood?

You don’t need to investigate it is paak

My question is, why do Shi'is combine their prayers?

The Quran mentions three times of prayer in 17:78.

Also we have narrations in Shia and Sunni narrations that the Prophet and the Imams combined the prayers together just to provide convenience for the nation.

I have a question regarding the Quran. I know very well that the Quran was sent to mankind of all times so that the people of the time of the Prophet saws had a guidance just as it is a guidance for us in this era. But is this ever mentioned in a hadith or verse in the Quran?

I wanted to ask you if I’m allowed to work in a restaurant in the west were haram meat and pork is sold. Am I allowed to help with making such sandwiches or just selling them in the name of the company?

My question is… is any hijab(such as the turban style hijab) better than no hijab? Is it disrespectful to proper hijab?

It is necessary to cover everything except face and hands for it be considered hijab.

Anything else would not be considered hijab, therefore we cannot say what is better or worse.

I wanted to ask whether ghusl or having a shower is sufficient in order to pray salah. Is wudhu still necessary after ghusl/shower or do we still need to do wudhu?

Wudhu is necessary after shower.

After wajib ghusl is no need for wudhu. Also some mustahab ghusls such as ghusl of Friday, as long as it is done before the time of Jumua prayer.

I have a friend who has a strict sunni family and alhamdulilah has accepted shia islam, she lives with her family and is a student. During this month of Ramadhan, it is very difficult for her to break her fast at Shi’a timings as she is under taqqiya, where possible she breaks it according to our timings however most of the time she cannot. What is the ruling on these fasts that she breaks a little earlier than our timings, are they void? Will she have to make up all of her Ramadhan fasts as this may be difficult.

If there is a credible threat for her then she is allowed to break it at the earlier time and there’s no qadha.

A quick question on the qaza umri Salaah, is it present in Shia traditions? I have heard of it but when researching I can rarely find any information on it on Shia pages

It means the Salaah which one has missed during their lifetime for whatever reason.

They have to done before one dies and if not by then, the eldest son has to do them or he can pay someone to do them.

To clarify I meant the Namaaz which atones for us missing prayers ( I think a 4 rakat Prayer) that some say we should perform. I know it does not substitute for Qadha prayers but is there a basis in Shia Islam for this prayer?

Not that I am aware of.

Is it permissible to remove the Fitrah before Chandraat? Request u to kindly give reply of both the Marjas with reference from the Risalah.Bcoz on whatsapp some people are saying Ay.Khamenei doesn't allows it and Ay.Sistani allows it. Jazakallah

According to Ayatollah Sistani you can give the amount as a loan to the needy person and then make niyyah on the night of Eid.

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2309/

The same thing is mentioned in Tahrirul Wasila of Ayatollah Khomeini with notes of Ayatollah Khamenei .

It is not permissible to tender the Fitrah before the month of Ramadan, rather, according to the more cautious opinion, in all circumstances. Of course, there is no objection in its payment to a poor person and then accounting it for as Fitrah on the arrival of its time.

Reflecting in perimenopausal effects, can you please let me know if one sees on their expected menstrual cycle days a trace of pinkish onset of periods and then nothing for days— is this still under hayz.
Since that person is approaching menopause periods are irregular like missing few months and then just a slight show Nd then nothing
Would that person consider that to be hays for first 10 days and then light istehaza

Unless it is haydh blood with the characteristics then it would not be considered haydh

I have a question about fasts when traveling
If i arrive to my destination before zuhr and leaving that destination on 9th day before zuhr, should i fast and offer regular prayer.
This destination is my 2nd home as i am visiting my kids

If you consider it your hometown then you must offer full prayers and fast as long as you are there irrespective whether you leave before Zuhr or after.

If when you left home to go to your second hometown you broke your fast in between which is allowed then you would have to do qadha afterwards

Thank you so much for your above quick reply.
I live in Los Angeles and the fitra declared is $12.
I want to distribute this amount in India.
How is fitra best distributed.. in giving away groceries, or cash and only to shia syed or non -syeds, please let me know

Fitra must be foodstuffs given to the poor, or the money can be given to any reliable organisation or individual who will ensure that food is bought and given to them.

Fitra from Sadaat can be given to anyone, but Fitra from non Sadaat must not be given to Sadaat.

Can you please let me know if I can fast if I have to travel 70 miles before zuhr? I will be returning back to my home before maghrib. If dont have to fast what is the ruling for eating food before I travel?

You cannot fast if the 70 miles travelling is taking you outside of your hometown
You will break your fast when you exit from your hometown (at the boundary or beyond it)

See question 6.

I performed a wajib ghusl and noticed afterwards a very small amount of sharpie on my finger. It has seeped through but did not make a mass. On Ayatollah Sistani's site, he says as long as there is no mass it is fine.. I want to make sure that this is the case in my situation? Should I repeat my ghusl or do tayammum according to the following:

“You should remove all barriers, sticking to the body, that may hinder the immediate contact of water with the parts of the body, such as paint or glue. If the barriers prove difficult to remove, you should perform tayamum. And if they happen to be present in the parts of the body that you usually wash (or wipe) for wudhu, [you should carry out both the ghusl and tayamum]”

If it was a very small amount not significant then it is ok.

No it is not sadaqah and would not be considered as such

As per being under taqleed of Ayatollah Sistani, while performing wuzu and wiping the feet, is it compulsory to wipe till the ankle(joint) ? If yes, then.. Are there any other Marja who says it is not compulsory?

Yes according to Ayatollah Sistani and all the other maraje it must be up to the ankle joint as the verse of Quran states (Surah 5 verse 6)
