Salam , First of all I came across a vid on how to perform Shi'a Wudhu and I've done it similarly except I dont wash the inside of my arm only the exterior and I always get more tap water to make massah (messeh) . Does this mean that my Wudhu is invalid ? And will Allah forgive me ? since I was taught by my Moulana to perform it like I am today , so I didnt know .

Salaam. There are people out there who try to be religous and follow the deen by abstaining from acts that are explicity wrong and sinful. However, sometimes what happens is that satan tries to attack with these people's through the route of their worship and practice of the Islamic laws, satan whispers in their hearts and tries to make them constantly doubt the correctness of many of their acts of worship. Unfortunately many people may become serious victims of these attacks and become someone who is known as "kathirus shak" or a person who doubts a lot. Below is a compilation of highly useful information to fight this issue. This will be a very very very lengt…

I left shi'is because of the ruling that disqualifies illegitimate born people from leading prayer. I may come back to it if I'm allowed to disagree and become an imam and head a mosque and function as a community leader. I want a leadership position with the intention of contributing to the muslim community. I want to give to you not get. I mentioned in other post that I'm pursuing a carrier in the arts world but I want both .

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…

Nose job (cosmetic surgery)
by Guest guest- 2 replies
- 56 views
Salam I've been wanting a nose job for almost 10 years now and I feel like I have reached the age to finally take the big step and do it (21y). The reason I want to get a nose job is because my nose is crooked, it has a bump and the tip also droops. The nose also slightly turns to the right, so it's not very straight. I've hated my nose for a long time and I always try to cover it up with my hand, even when i'm laughing. I feel like a nose job is the only thing that will give me peace of mind. If it was something that only bothered me, I would not think about having a surgery, because then I would have a lot of surgeries lol. But I wish my nose only bothered me, I j…

Salamu 3alaykum, I study in the Mosque, and there is an old radio show that I like to listen to called The Ricky Gervais Show while I study. This show gives me comfort and I have listened to it dozens of times, but I dropped it (and another person I would like to get back to) in the past as a promise to Allah because they got too silly at times with their occasional swearing/vulgarity and once in a while, blasphemy. That was about 9 months ago and now I feel the need to return to the show because I am going through a difficult period in my life and I think being able to listen to the show while I study in the Mosque would make the process a bit easier. However, is th…

Is it a wrong if I do Taqleed but not as Wajib
by Guest Syed- 1 reply
- 25 views
Salaam, I am a shia male. My question to the forum is what’s your opinion if Taqleed is done as guidance and not as binding command? Also, can the current Marja’s be considered as deputies of Imam Mahdi ((عليه السلام)) or are they just learned scholars ? I am not against taqleed or scholars but I feel the Marja’s position has been elevated more than it should be. Please share your views.

Salam, I work in a local authority laboratory which carries out testing of a variety of different things e.g. Water samples, routine food and drink testing, work on behalf of Environmental health and the police, consumer products etc. My work primarily concerns food and water testing. Most of my workload is routine testing for a major supermarket contract. This includes testing of haram meats and sometimes alcohol. Is this permitted? Until recently I never thought it was an issue yet the more I think about it the less sure I am. Is it just the alcohol testing that is not permissible or the meat too? And if it is not halal, how do I go about fixing this? I …

Assalamualaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I am a new revert to Shia Islam, and recently I have read that circumcision is obligatory for Shiite men, I'm already in my 20s and I heard that it really hurts to get chopped off at this age, do I really need to do it? I would be extremely embarassed to have some guy looking, touching and cutting my penis skin. If I die living as a pious follower of the Ahlul Bayt will I gain entrance to Jannah eventhough I am not circumcised? Is the hadith regarding the compulsory nature of Khitan trustworthy? Please share me your knowledge on this matter, thank you.

Salam, I’ve invested in Tesla stock for several months but now they are beginning to make their own line of alcoholic drink as a part of their brand. Is it halal to stay invested with them? I emailed Sayyid Ali Al-Sistani’s office and they mentioned that there is no problem in it. However, I forget to mention that they are selling it also. Not sure if that makes a difference. JazakAllah

Just learned a new law today on Sistanis website. The story is quite funny. I woke up for fajr prayer, and in the 2nd sajdah of the 2nd rak'ah, I said: "subhana rabial a'la wa bihamdih" only. I'm used to say after that: ''allahumma salli ala muhammadin wa ali muhammad", but forgetfully I didn't say it. So as soon as I got up from the sajdah, I began to doubt about what I should do. I decided to continue my prayer normally, and after I finished, I went to Sistanis website to check what the ruling was. Apparently, the salawat is recommended, and it isn't an obligatory part of the dhikr, so there was no need to repeat the prayer. But then I read this law: Ruling 1061. I…

Salaam, I just have a simple question: is takbiratul ihram to be said aloud or in a silent voice ? Because I know that we (the men) must recite al-Fatiha and the other surah aloud in Subh, Maghrib and Isha, but silently in Dhuhr and Asr, where only the bismillah should be recited aloud. But what about takbiratul ihram ? Because I'm reading Sayyid al-Sistanis website and he only says that it should be recited "in a way that I at least hear my own voice". But should I recite aloud, or in a silent manner that only I can hear what I say ? Because in both cases I hear my own voice. Thank you.

Salam everyone, If a man has changed his gender to a woman, are females expected to observe hijab in front of him? This question came from a friend. She used to take off/adjust her hijab during lunch break at office when she thought there was just women in the room. There is a 'girl' in her department who did have a different voice but she never suspected anything but then she found out that he was a boy who has chosen to become a girl.

Salamun-aliakum brothers & sisters, This is my first topic discussion so please bare with me. I basically have stopped listening to all forms of music ever since I've decided to dedicate myself more to the religion of Islam. I had attempted to find some sort of loophole to make it permissible, but no avail (maybe that's a good thing). I follow Ayotollah Sistani's ((رضي الله عنه).) fatwa on music and I'm pretty sure we all know it's basically a resounding NO to all forms of music, at least the ones I grew up with and find enjoyable. I had found something rather interesting after stumbling across Imam Khomenei's website. Q1123. What is meant by lahwī music? A…

Najis or not

I understand that if you are not sure if something is impure, then that thing is pure because doubt does not over-ride certainty. In my situation, every time when I go to use the bathroom, I feel something splashing on my feet or legs or thighs. Nothing should be splashing except urine ( because I only feel this when I’m the bathroom ) but at the same time, I’m not totally sure if I’m splashing but I DO FEEL something. What do I do in this situation. Thank you.

(bismillah) (salam) I have always thought that the clothes that are put into the washing machine become pak after going through the process of being washed, but then I read a part of Ayatollah Sistani's "Islamic Laws" in which it says : "161. When a thing which has become najis with urine, is to be made Pak with water less than Kurr, it should be poured once, and as water flows off eliminating all the traces of urine, the thing will become Pak. But if dress or body has become najis be cause of urine, it must be washed twice so that it is Pak. When a cloth or a carpet and similar things are made Pak with water which is less than Kurr, it must be wrung, or squeezed, t…

Salam As per Ayt. Sistani, one of the recommended ghusls is : 19. the ghusl for shaving one’s hair (ḥalq); https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2190/ Like Friday ghusl, this ghusl suffices for wudhu. But is this talking about halq after umrah/hajj, or is it just any shaving of head?

Tulsi Gabbard calls out the US dirty war on Syria that Biden, aides admit to AARON MATÉ·MARCH 5, 2021 As Tulsi Gabbard criticizes former Congressional colleagues for ignoring the ongoing US dirty war and sanctions on Syria, a look at the comments of Joe Biden and top aides show that they have admitted to the same underlying, horrific facts. Gabbard only stands apart — and is even vilified — for being willing to call it out. While Joe Biden has faced some mild Congressional pushback for bombing the Iraq-Syria border, Tulsi Gabbard says her former colleagues are ignoring the larger issue: the US ongoing dirty war on Syria. After a decade of proxy warfare that empowered Al Qaeda and ISIS, the US is now occupying one-third of Syria and imposing crippling sanctions that are crushing Syria’s economy and preventing reconstruction. While Gabbard has been vilified for her stance on Syria, many top White House officials — including Joe Biden himself — have already acknowledged the same facts that she has called out. Aaron Maté plays clips of Biden and some of his most senior aides admitting to the horrific realities of the US dirty war on Syria, and argues that Gabbard only stands apart in being wiling to criticize it.
