Can someone please tell me the base of this ruling? This is from Agha Sistani. Ruling 1520. Based on obligatory precaution, a person who has a legitimate excuse [for performing prayers in a certain way] – for example, he performs prayers with tayammum or in a sitting position – cannot be hired in any case to perform the prayers of a deceased person, even if the prayers of the deceased became qaḍāʾ in the same way. However, hiring someone who performs prayers with jabīrah wuḍūʾ or with jabīrah ghusl is not a problem, and the same applies to hiring someone whose hands or feet have been amputated, although to suffice with the acts he performs on behalf of the person…

Every one says it's forbidden but where in the hadith or Quran does it say so.

Oil paints and wudu

Salam, Has anyone, who has worked with oil paints, had issues with paint not coming off easily? How do you deal with it when you have to perform wudu or ghusl, especially if the paint is on your hair too? And after cleaning it thoroughly, you still find bits of it here and there, and its hectic when you keep finding these bits after wudu.

According to some Sunni scholars and sects, semen is not Najis. What are your thoughts of this? Did prophet Mohammad say it is najis? Afterall, we are all made from semen, as mentioned in the Quran being a “worthless water”. Thank you.

Assalamu Alaikum, Hope all is well. Is there a problem with selling products for animals such as dogs, cats etc. For example, beds, toys and the such. How about being an affiliate marketer for a Dog's training program. I don't think there's a problem but I just need to make sure. Thanks!

Assalamualaikum. I am 13 years old. I live with my parents, who are atheists. I hide my Salah, and even sometimes my research about religion in fear that they might make me stop. Is this considered taqiyyah? Or are the circumstances not harsh enough? Wassalam.

Assalamualaikum I often don’t have enough time to pray salah because I try and hide it. In this scenario, is it better if I pray during the prayer time by sitting or if I pray after the prayer time but it’s qadha? Wassalam.

Aoa Everyone, I was wondering how do the Ayaat of Surah Mujadilah apply to the lives of Muslims in this time and age. I was personally interpreting it as the fact that thihar were words used by the man to divorce his wife in the pre Islamic era, when in fact he would not divorce her but come around later and act as if nothing happened, and so it does not mean those words have to be the ones used by Hazrat Khawla's husband, but instead they can be placed in the context of todays world, where as Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has stated that they do not mean that actually she has become like a mothers back to him, but now for the mental torture and his lack of control…

I asked the office of sayed sistani the following question I am a man living in America and am not able to get married now, one of my biggest problems is the sexual desire, I have tried abstaining from masturbation but it never lasts too long. The only solution I can think of is Mut’ah, and the only kind of girls I think wouldn’t mind doing that are escorts. These escorts are usually found on special sites and are not widely known to the people. So is it allowed for me to do Mut’ah with and escort? The answer was In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the MercifulBased on obligatory precaution, one should refrain from marrying a woman whose not…

Salam waalaykoum so in the link provided it says earth is pure and walking a set amount on earth makes shoe Tahir therefore why can’t we pray with sandals on? The big toes have contact with the ground and also the main body parts is of coarse 7 points but the forehead is the only part that needs to touch earth eg turbah. Why can you pray with thick socks on but not shoes with thin soles or sandals. Couple hundreds of years even 1400 years ago people travelled a lot would they pray with sandals or take everything off? Now in regards to praying with shoes in a masjid people wouldn’t do that because of mud or earth dust particles spreading on carpets that’s w…

Salaam, I already know that it is permissible for us Shias to pray behind a Sunni Imam (at least according to Sayyid al-Sistani), as long as we recite the 2 surahs ourselves in a low voice. However, there's a question that I've been thinking about for a long time. It is know that many times, when Sunnis pray, during the 1st rak'ah, they often stop reciting the 2nd surah before finishing it, proceed to ruku and sajdah, and then in the 2nd rak'ah they continue and finish the 2nd surah. From what I know, we Shias are not allowed to do that, we must recite the 2nd surah in its entirety before proceeding to ruku, otherwise the prayer is invalid. So my question i…

My marja is Ayatollah Kamal al Haydari, who has unfortunately been under house arrest for quite a few months now. As a result, his office has closed, some content has been removed from his site and it has stopped being updated. This means that it has become impossible to get rulings on certain subjects, ask questions or gain clarifications on rulings he has already published. I continue to refer to his Risalah which I think was published in 2015 and the small amount of istefta that is still up on his website and for when there isn't a ruling or the ruling is vague I consult Ayatollah Sistani or Ayatollah Fadlallah's rulings (e.g. on Riba, Ramadan moon sighting or some cla…

Salam I wish to privately hire a tailor to sew my clothes. This tailor works at a big clothing outlet and is very skilled. But someone has told me that he is prohibited by his employer to work privately. Probably conflict of interest. The tailor himself has not mentioned anything to me like that and I have not talked to him about this topic either. Islamically, am I permitted to hire him personally, knowing there is a possibility that the work he will be doing for me might be illegal for him? Is it my responsibility to ask him about this before I hire him?

Haram to buy from Shein?

Salam, I wanted to know would it be haram to buy clothes off of websites like Shein? I'm not so well off and I can't really afford ethically sourced clothes. I have bought a few clothes from them. I'm not doing any crazy hauls, just some summer clothes that are oversized and loose. Controversies keep mentioning the underpaid workers, but wouldn't it be worse to boycott the company as it could potentially lead their workers to fall into prostitution? And when it comes to ethically sourced items, a lot of things we have are unethically sourced. I feel like you can't exactly escape this, I mean, the material used to make your phone uses child labor, does that mean using…

Salam All, So i'm taking some business classes, I wanted to clear up some confusion. Let's say I am purchasing this property, I make a down payment and grab a loan for the rest of the amount. So I invested lets say 70,000 from my pocket. Overtime I get a 700 cash flow from the property. When we caluclate Return on investment (ROI), its the annual cash flow/ the amount i invested. In this case, I'm getting a 12% return on my investment annually. The person teaching sometimes refers to this as what interest rate are we getting on our down payment (i dont know if he's trying to make it simple to understand or if this is what it is, but this whole concept is just a…

(salam) In Saudi Arabia, I was taught that we read only Surah-e-Fatiha in the 3rd and 4th Rakat. When I came to Canada, and "become" Shia :rolleyes: I learnt we read "Subhanallai Walhamdolilahi Walailaha Ilalaho Allahu Akber". Is it still ok if we read Surah-e-Fatiha in the last 2 Rakats, or is it wajib to read the above phrase.

Assalamualaikum. So my parents are atheist. Therefore when I pray, I pretend to go to the bathroom or get dressed or something. But I also whisper during Salatul Fajr, Salatul Maghrib and Salatul Isha. I’ve been doing this for a while, I guess since I started praying, which would have been about a year and a half ago. So my question is: when I am able to pray without hiding, will I have to do qada for all the prayers I didn’t recite aloud? Wassalam.

Salams all, Okay so here, lets say that I invested in something and got cashflow from it. I use that money in a business that I am creating. After doing so, I am told that the investment I made was haram. Is any income I earn from my business considered haram since it started off with haram money? I ask here because the al-islam ask a question don't respond to mine, so for now this is my option.

Salamun alaykum, This hadith about the (non-specific) signs of the end times talks about women riding the saddle: Is this harām? Did the Holy Ladies (s.a.) voluntarily ride saddles? I.e. it is known that Bibi Khadija was a businesswoman, and that rasulullah worked for her but did she ever ride a saddle herself? What do the fuqaha say about this?

Well it depends what type of communism you are referring to. Many of these revolutions were inspired by the USSR, which believed in Leninism, which required a "strong State" to succeed. Maoism and Stalinism were even bigger monsters. -

Well I would say that largely depends on a different side of the mindset of a person, some people like to have everything set in place and in a routine and that works for them, others prefer to take each day as it comes, without so much so as a plan but just getting it done. Furthermore, neither mindset can really be said to be advantageous or "better" as everyone is simply different, the routine will work for some people quite well, for their entire lives even, however other people don't function like this and prefer to be more flexible. Overall I guess what you've mentioned is another topic altogether, whether a couple is set in stone and has a routine or whether there's a freestyle approach, however it does link in with the original point and it could definitely be put down as a 4 option. -

I don't think marriage is about making a checklist and splitting tasks. You simply work together to do what you need to do. Whether that means working, cooking, cleaning or all three shouldn't really matter. -
For us, the Qur'an and the sunnah are the reference. If the prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) says I leave behind the Quran and the Ahlulbayt, then we follow them, we don't ask why there isn't a surah about it or why Imam Ali (عليه السلام) didn't write it in a letter.
