    I'm 27 and still can't even grow a patchy beard. I only have some stubble here and there so I'm curious if it would be permissible to use rogaine witch is a chemical treatment applied to the skin to treat baldness. Some people use it to thicken facial hair to. Is it altering gods creation to use it or other similar products?

    i love Halloween grew up celebrating it, i was just wondering is it haram to celebrate it? i hope not because its fun for the kids, in iraq they do something like it but no costume, and also my intention is nothing bad just for the kids cuz they do live in canada and dont want them to think oh my father didnt let us have fun i know most muslims that go trick or treating but they dont give candy to kids, if you ur not going to celebrate it then dont go and dont give, but if ur going to take ur kids u have to give candy too, that makes me mad and makes us look bad. but i just want to know if its haram, does sistani allow it?

    Washing najasat

    by Guest Moe

    Do I have to use soap to wash away najsul-ayn like semen? ( it is a sticky substance and I feel like if I only use water then the najasat is still there ). I ask because every time I’m in a state of junub, I have to soap every inch of my body so that I feel tahir and it takes a long time. thank you.

    Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah hivabarakatuh I hope you all are having a blessed day, I would like to inquire about excessively thinking about if the water has reached here and here , should I Include this or not, if I poured water over my arms and now am pouring below and doubt maybe I forgot one area on the arm earlier. Are these thoughts valid to obsesses over for someone who has OCD. Do provide answers to above questions as well... Thank you, Noor Taleb

    How did the Usulis Defeat the Akhbari Position of Not Applying the Intellect to the Texts...?

    by AStruggler

    Salaam, As the title says, how did the Usuli scholars end up defeating the Akhbari position of not using the intellect when extracting Islamic Law from our texts...? What were the main arguments arguements employed by Al Wahid al Behbahani and the other Usulis (if there were others) to shift Shi'i scholarship back to the Usuli position? What convinces me against the Akhbaris is that the world is continuously changing and hence the literal contents of our texts may eventually have a very insignificant level of correspondence and relevance to the modern phenomena of the evolving world... Then, what would one do if they adhered to the Akhbari position? Keep …

    Salaam I was wondering if we are allowed to keep monkeys as pets. Are they considered Najis? Even if they are najis, we can still keep them, right, as long as we don't get their hair on us, right? I don't think I'll be getting a monkey anytime in the near future... But I see other people keep them as pets, and I was just wondering. Thanks :)

    Justifications for Liberal Laws.

    by El Cid

    Salam. Recently someone mentioned the name of an Ayotallah called Youseuf Saanei. I looked into him and his law interpretations. Now I know that jurisprudence laws can't be made out of the whims and wishes of Marjai. They need to have proper understanding and reasoning from ahadith+Quran. So what are the following hadith or Quranic interpretations which serve as evidence for the following rulings by this Marjah? : Government-sponsored and private lotteries and raffles are allowed, provided the proceeds go to a charitable purpose, even if the player's intent was to win a prize, and not motivated by the charitable donation The use of gambling tools, arcade ga…

    Marriage of Conjoined twins... permissible or haram?

    by Maisam Haider

    What does Islam say about conjoint twins who are adults, cannot be separated and wish to get married? Is it haram for them to ever get married, because they are two different individuals and cannot be married to one spouse? Is marriage categorically forbidden for them in Islam and if yes, what options do they have to satisfy their needs without committing any sexual sins? If there are two brothers, is it possible for them to get married to two different women? How would that practically work because there would be no privacy? There have been some cases where conjoint brothers have married two sisters and have had children, but islamically that looks forbidden. M…

    Difficulty Finding Halal Hobbies + waswas

    by Guest Confused

    Salam I experience waswas/scrupulosity (I have had OCD since childhood and was diagnosed several years ago) and I know I might go overboard in determining halal from haram hobbies, so I'd like to ask other Muslims for advice. For some background, I am a 20 year old woman living in the West. I have mild depression and a short attention span, and I am concerned that by spending my time uber-seriously and in isolation I might be harming my mental health. I'm trying to find some fun halal activities to do alone and with others. Comments on previous hobbies I used to draw since I was a kid, but I'm not enjoying it anymore. Learning to draw took me down a ba…

    Why isnt Al Islam.org answering my questions?

    by Lion of Shia

    everytime i ask questions on al islam.org, my questions get over looked and ignored!!!!! It is in the questions and answer sextion, it seems after i had a propaganda and misinformation campaign about me, it seems no sunni or shia takes me seriously anymore, or at least on internet question sites and fourms. I get left out and i feel like im being treated like a joke thats to politics and fitnah!!

    Silat Ar-rahm

    by Learned

    Okay, so as far as I know there aren't any topics on this matter (Silat Ar-Rahm) so I thought I would start one. Allah SWT has both commanded the believers with maintaining Silat Ar-Rahm (good relations with relatives) and warned the believers from Qata' Ar-Rahm (severing relations with relatives). In fact, Qata' Ar-Rahm is a thanb kabeer (greater sin) as per some of the traditions, and maintaining Silat Ar-Rahm is wajib upon all believers with both close and far relatives, weather they are Muslims or kafirs (unless they are exercise open enmity towards Islam). The Prophet has said: “Do not sever relation with your kindered even if they cut off relations with you.” My que…

    Qir'at in Salat

    by ahlulbayt_72

    السلام عليكم In dhur and asar prayers I have to recite the Qir'at like a whisper? But mostly I can't hear my own voice. Can I instead recite the Surahs in a low voice instead of a whisper? I sent this question to the office of Ayatollah Sistani and this is the reply I received : "You should recite it clearly and articulately. Do not raise your voice; otherwise your prayers get void" I don't get it. Should I keep on reciting in a voice which I can't hear to or should I raise it just enough for me to hear. What is more important i) hearing your own voice ii) reciting in a low whisper For dhur and asr prayers?

    Hijab Ban -> are we near the end of times?

    Its disguisting how the world started hating the muslim society (especially shia-islam) at once! for example: we all know in the western culture that someone can be rejected for work on application interview only because his foreign islamic name or even of their appereance like a hijab. Or if we take it more worse like being rejected for a study only with a hijab on!!! -> lately a lot of schools/universities are opening a new law for students to not wear a hijab and if you don't agree then you should get off the school! that means its getting more and more tight for the muslims these days especially women with a hijab on!

Can you specify scholars as well please.

    Stealing from an international company

    by feefee_xx

    What should a person do if they have stolen items from an international shop and branch? Besides sincerely asking Allah for forgiveness, how should they repay the company according to Islamic/Shia law? Bearing in mind that those companies don't have a policy in place for these types of occurrences, or for people that want to come forward and pay back the amount that was taken away from them. What does Ayatollah Al Sistani Marja say about this, I could not find any information about this on his website. And what do other Marja's say about this?
