From past 2 days past sins has been haunting me. I’ve done great big sins and I’m ashamed of it too but still it’s not leaving I’ve repented but still can’t find peace ,feeling disgusted from my own self. Right now I’m doing Hawza too but from past a few days I’m unable to focus and feeling impure. How can I be pure and get rid of all the major sins I’ve done in past and how to achieve high spirituality?

This feeling of guilt is good. Perform ghusl with intention of tawba. Give sadaqa as much as you can. Don’t let Shaitan get to you and make you despair from the mercy of Allah. If you are feeling remorseful and promise not to do the again Allah will definitely forgive you. It’s just your feeling the side effects of sins

I want to start my accounting and tax consultancy business, but I have a question before starting such business. When I will provide tax consultancy to my clients, I know that the clients will ask me to understate their income and overstate expenses, so that they have to pay less taxes to the government. I know that this is not allowed by the tax authorities and the burden to proof the income and expenses is on tax payer and not the consultant, but it is a very common practice across the country and most, if not all, tax consultants are doing it for their clients. My questions are: 1. Should I start my business as a tax consultant knowing that I will also be asked by potential clients to understate the taxes payable to the government, and will the income I earn from my business be Halal or Haram? 2. How can I earn halal income while practicing as a tax consultant?

Such practice would not be permissible and you have to be truthful

Let’s say someone who knew very little about the faith, let alone the Shia madhab, but who also at one point avoided learning so as not to complicate his life during a time of studies, did not know that ghusl existed and was required if he was going to fast Ramadan. Must he make all of those fasts up? And if the next Ramadan is fast approaching, must he make up as many as he can before then?

Yes they need to make up all the fasts It doesn’t have to be before the upcoming Ramadhan

I have an idea for a product to protect people from having their drinks drugged. This product will likely protect alcohol drinkers more than those who do not drink alcohol. Is it haraam for me to create this product?

As long as it’s not promoting or making alcoholic drinks then it’s ok

1) If a husband and wife mutually agree to both contribute to the rent payments (50/50 or 70/30 etc), is this permissible and is the husband sinning in this regard? Does this impact his right to be obeyed by his wife since it is mutually agreed? 2) If the husband and wife mutually agree to abstain from sexual intercourse (not permanent, they’re just waiting until the wife is ready again which could take more than 4 months) due to some difficulties the wife is going through after giving birth (whether physical or psychological), are they sinning?

1. If she willingly agrees then there is no problem and it doesn’t impact his rights 2. No it’s fine since the wife and husband are giving up their rights

I know that chess and playing cards are haram but what of games which are similar in appearance yet are wildly different in both gameplay, history, foundational principles and so on. For example Shogi, many say it is Japanese chess however it bears no resemblance to chess aside from a board. Moreover, probably most prevalent nowadays are TCGs or trading card games such as Yugi-oh which only resemble playing cards in that they are in a card form yet function and were made for none of the reasons playing cards were. Are these types of game haram?

Its all to do with the tools of the games eg cards and whether they can or are used for gambling And whether the games are known as gambling in the social norms or by people

There are games that are games of chance or skill that are often found at amusement parks, fairs, carnivals, and fairgrounds. They are usually played on a “pay as you play” basis, meaning that you can play as soon as you pay. Prizes for funfair games are often stuffed toys, posters, or other toys. Players are encouraged to keep playing, as they may be able to trade in several small prizes for a larger reward. There is a strong element of skill but also requires a strong element of luck. Are these games haram to play to win a reward? and if so, if the intention was made purely to play for fun and not the reward, does it still remain haram?

Play them with intention of fun not for winning money or prizes

I am a medical student. in anatomy lessons, we touch cadavers (dead bodies) with gloves. Am I required to do ghusl on myself after this? if so whats the name of the ghusl?

With gloves you don’t need to do ghusl (as long as other parts of your body don’t touch a dead body without a barrier)

My sister in law is currently talking to a guy who is from the Hindu faith. My husband is religious however his family is not, so her father has approved of the marriage (being that he is her wali). Is there anything that can be done from my end? At most, they might ask the man to say the shahada in order to marry her, however, is that okay, even if he is not a genuine Muslim, and just says it for the sake of the marriage?

No just saying it is not good enough. He needs to be convinced of Islam. Without him being Muslim such a marriage is void and cannot be conducted. He needs to study Islam and ask questions. He should speak to a scholar. Do what you can to make this happen

My friend and I are practicing Shias and lovers of ahle bait. We are bestfriends and both females but recently we got physical and crossed some lines. We have both repented alot to Allah and are sincerely remorseful and guilty. Is it imperative for us to break of our friendship as our physical acts were not a basis of our friendship. Instead we actually are good support systems for one another, guide each other towards the right, and are generally just pure good friends who went astray

Salaams As long as both of you have repented and are strong enough not to commit those sins again and can safeguard yourselves to make sure you resist temptations then it should be ok to remain as friends

What are our obligations when it comes to prolonging the life of a believer who is alive due to life support machines in a hospital.

DNR is not allowed You have to try and keep them alive as long as possible

Is a women allowed to apply an eyeliner above her eyes? Also is a mascara allowed? I have been confused as to which one is allowed according to the rules of hijab.

It should not cause her to become more attractive or draw attention of men

I am getting to know a potential spouse through my home. He mentioned regularly going out to eat with other Muslim females and males and having conversations. Previously, he would speak and sit close to the females with the intention of assessing them as a potential spouse. Now, that he is getting to know me he says this has changed but he still goes out with the group of them to hang out. We discussed the idea of mahrams.. Can you please clarify if women gathered together become mahram to one another amongst others? For instance is it permissible for 2 or more female friends to be alone with other male friends as they (the women) become mahram for eachother? The potential spouse states that this is the case and him being amongst males and females for the sake of “hanging out” and sharing jokes and stories is ok.

Such gatherings are haram and not permissible Going out with other girls is not Islamic practice and it’s wrong

I am engaged and have a Mutah contract that mentions “No physical intimacy”, however, the father has on a few occasions indicated that this rule does not apply and has permitted hugging, hand holding, etc. He explicitly said that the contract rules apply only when around family. Is his negation of this term sufficient enough for other forms of intimacy to be allowed? Or must he explicitly say “you can be intimate in XYZ form” for it to be allowed?

If the father of the bride as well as the bride and her husband all agree to change the limitations then it can be changed However the notion of physical intimacy is too vague as some may feel hugging is intimacy

I wanted to ask a question regarding waking up for salat al fajr. I have tried everything, from setting three alarms to placing my phone at a distance only to return back to sleep. It’s been nearly a year since I’ve been struggling, and the only time I remember praying fajr consistently is during Ramadan as I had to wake up for suhoor. Also I sleep pretty late , usually after 12am, another problem I’m dealing with as I cannot squeeze in all my tasks during the day. Even then, I should still be able to get up for fajr, but nothing seems to work. I’ve been asking Allah to make it easy for me and to grant me the tawfiq but I’m starting to worry that maybe Allah is ignoring me, because I heard somewhere that not everyone is given the tawfiq to get up for fajr consistently. I don’t know if that’s true, but I feel like maybe I’m being blocked. I’m trying to think of what I’m doing wrong, like maybe sinning, but I’m thinking that we all sin and we eventually get purified from our sins whenever we do wudhu and step into salah. I know that if I wake up for fajr, my life will improve a lot. I am looking for any advice to help me overcome this or some kind of explanation. Is it possible that some people are just not granted the tawfiq to wake up for fajr?

No. Allah wants you to wake up. He won’t prevent you. You need to make some changes and believe it’s Him who will help you. Please follow the steps in this video carefully and repeatedly and don’t lose hope. https://youtu.be/x8OeUqa2QIE?si=apVjzbx6yitQcO0k

Is working as a broker Haram? Not broker par for example you reach clients from an account as an artist(we are just pretending to be artist) while we just take order from the client and send it to artist to make it, so is it haram?

If the product being sold or service is halal then it’s fine

I was wondering if Eel Sauce, which is typically put on sushi, is halal or not. Eel sauce doesn’t contain actual eels, however it contains sake and mirin. I know that if something contains a small enough alcohol content that according to sistani it is permissible, however i’m unsure about the amount of alcohol content in eel sauce and if it’s halal or not

You must find out % of alcohol by contacting the manufacturers. Otherwise you cannot consume it

My cat has been under veterinary care for his heart condition, and the medications that once helped him are no longer effective. He now has a significant amount of fluid in his lungs, which makes it very difficult for him to breathe. Over the past two weeks, he is not eating properly and is showing signs of severe distress, including rapid breathing and if it continues like this. Further this condition at times will lead to open-mouth breathing with vigorous abdominal movements. According to the veterinarian, this condition is not reversible, and if left untreated, will lead to a very painful death by suffocation. The veterinarian has advised that the most humane option would be to euthanize my cat to prevent further suffering. I am deeply troubled by this decision and seek your esteemed advice on whether it is permissible in Islam to euthanize an animal in such a situation to alleviate its suffering. I am following Ayatollah Muhammad al-Fayadh’s marja.

Yes it’s fine and permissible

Is there any way to not feel inferior as a Muslim girl? Doesn’t matter how much I try to be close to Allah swt, it feels I can’t reach the level because I’m a female. Most people don’t prefer talking to me because I wear hijab I always think Allah swt don’t love me like he loves a male/?man How can I overcome with these all struggle?

Salaams These thoughts are wrong and from Shaitan He is trying to stop you from developing There is nothing in Quran that supports this Allah says we have honoured the children of Adam Look at this verse. Holy Quran 16:97 ------------------ مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ Whoever acts righteously, [whether] male or female, should he be faithful, We shall revive him with a good life and pay them their reward by the best of what they used to do. So focus and do what you can and don’t give up. You can achieve excellence and bring female shouldn’t stop you. If you give you you’ve surrendered to Satan

I wondered if you could provide more information on if Istikhara was used at the time of the prophet with regards to marriage? I understand it’s not wajib and only used if you are confused and have used all other methods to try and make a decision; but I wanted more clarity on the historical background of this, did the prophet and the Imams advise to use this for marriage at the time when Islam was being spread?

No they didn’t advise us to use istikhara for marriage the way it’s used today Please watch these clips https://youtu.be/l0mRIPZk8Cg?si=YLs7UlOGcCbEG-Hy https://youtu.be/BALql8aB-HU?si=liJxoYX2J-RUWJrB https://youtu.be/111RxhFX310?si=Q0UbS7Uf3wN-Whbv

I have 3 questions that I could not find answers to: 1. If a medicine contains more than 2% alcohol, such as 10%, it can be diluted to 2% with water in a 1:4 ratio. However, to achieve the recommended dosage, you would need to take 5 times the diluted dosage, which would still contain the same amount of alcohol as the original undiluted dose. In this case, should you take 1 dose of the diluted medicine (i.e., 1 spoon of the diluted solution) or 5 doses to ensure it is halal? 2. There is a Korean chili paste with 5% alcohol content. If this paste is added to food, the alcohol content of the final dish would be significantly less than 5%, potentially under 1%. Is it still haram because the original ingredient had 5% alcohol, or does it become halal? Additionally, is keeping this ingredient in the house or fridge considered najis, and do utensils that touch it become najis? 3. There are non-alcoholic beverages that are labeled as popular alcoholic drinks or are called 0% beer or 0% wine. Do these beverages become haram because of their labeling at the point of sale?

1. You must take the diluted. Then take it 5 times is ok as long as it’s not together (ie leave a few seconds between 2. If the final product is less than 2% it’s ok 3. Here is the answer from Sistani.org The drink that is made from barley and called "Fuqa' in Arabic is definitely forbidden and Najis (ritually impure) as an obligatory precaution. This drink is not intoxicant normally but it makes one feel tipsy; that is a state of slight drunkenness caused apparently by low percentage of alcohol in the liquid. Therefore, if a drink is produced alcohol free in the first place and it is not called "Fuqa" (beer), there is no problem, or else, it is forbidden even if alcohol is separated from it.

1. You must take the diluted. Then take it 5 times is ok as long as it’s not together (ie leave a few seconds between 2. If the final product is less than 2% it’s ok 3. Here is the answer from Sistani.org The drink that is made from barley and called "Fuqa' in Arabic is definitely forbidden and Najis (ritually impure) as an obligatory precaution. This drink is not intoxicant normally but it makes one feel tipsy; that is a state of slight drunkenness caused apparently by low percentage of alcohol in the liquid. Therefore, if a drink is produced alcohol free in the first place and it is not called "Fuqa" (beer), there is no problem, or else, it is forbidden even if alcohol is separated from it.

I have some confusions regarding support for Palestine during muharram processions. Can we support Palestine by flying flag or slogan or any other ways during the occasions of muharram? We heard both the point of views from ullama (scholars) Some are saying we can and some are saying we cannot. what is the marajeh or your point of view?

There is no problem at all in supporting Palestine in Muharram

My question is that for some time now, I’m feeling depressed due to the reason I am not born sayyid, and my descendants are not Ahlebait AS unlike other Sayyids. Will I be inferior for the rest of my life even if I live my life according to the Islamic laws and the immense mawaddah with Ahlebait AS? Is a non-practicing Sayyid better than a practising Non Sayyid person, also since Ahlulbayt A have their rights upon us, do the Sayyids have their rights upon us? This matter is making me feel bad that Allah is just, and ádil, so why he choose some people to be from the pure lineage and others from unpure lineage?

This is from Shaitan We don’t choose which family were born into Remember this verse always Holy Quran 49:13 ------------------ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ O mankind! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you nations and tribes that you may identify yourselves with one another. Indeed the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most Godwary among you. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-aware. You do your best and Allah has plans and decrees. There’s a reason some are sayids and some not but not one has advantage over the other in terms of paradise

In al-Kafi vol 2, H3735, ch 23, h19: “Beware of playing jokes; it eliminates the light of your belief, and decreases your manhood.” Can you please explain how it decreases manhood?

This is excessive laughing of inappropriate jokes
