Asalam-o-Alaikum Can we break fast at Sunni maghrib time? Or can we do maghrib at Sunni time and break fast right after? It’s recommended to pray before breaking your fast.. According to the ruling, it’s not obligatory to wait for the redness in the sky to go away, just as a precaution we can wait few more minutes after Sunni maghrib prayers. Can anyone explain please?

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 un Alayukm, How far off can you be? Either in % or degrees? {not on purpose, pretend you prayed one direction one day, ya3ni you thought qibla was one way, and the next day you found out that you were about 20 degrees off, do you have to re-read the previous day's namaz?} Also, I do taqleed of Ayatollah Khamenai. Or How about if someone was sure of the Qibla direction, and prayed that way for a while but after a long time, found out that he was wrong {like the compass was malfunctioning the first time or somthing} and figured out that the qibla was in a totally differant direction. Would he have to redo all his namazes that he prayed in the wrong direction? Than…

Salam, I work at a bank and my job is to call customers and confirm banking details of large payments that they had processed on their accounts. Naturally alot of the customers I speak with are females. Sometimes they may be nice and decide to have a quick chat with me and alot of times we end up having a quick laugh. Is this allowed or am I engaging in haram? An example of a scenario that took place earlier today: I called a female customer up to confirm details. At the end of the call she says "I really appreciate and like it when you guys call me" as to which I responded back with "And we equally like calling and talking with …

Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah. I have seen many Muqallid's of Ayatullah al-Udhma Khamenei thinking that the only set of laws he has are in Leader.ir. So for those who do not know yet let me clarify this. Ayatullah al-Udhma Khamenei says to refer to Imam Khomeini's Tahrir ul Wasilah and then, on stuff that he disagrees with Imam Khomeini to refer to his Q&A. KhudaHafiz

Salaam, It is known that if a father dies and he had qada prayers that he never performed, then the eldest son must perform those qada prayers, as Sayyid al-Sistani says: Ruling 1370. If one’s father has not performed his prayers and he could have made them up, in the event that he did not fail to perform them due to outright disobedience, then based on obligatory precaution, after the father’s death his eldest son must either perform them himself or hire someone to perform them. The qaḍāʾ prayers of one’s mother are not obligatory on him to perform, although it is better that he does. Ruling 1372. If the eldest son knows that his father had qaḍāʾ prayers b…

salam alaikum, I am very confused by all these rulings by different maraji3 when it comes to mensutration and istihaza, although i don't follow sayyed sistani my mother does and I would like a clear and concise answer on this matter. So basically I got my period, and normally my period lasts seven days max (including the brownish discharge on the last days). Now, I was told that according to sayyed sistani, if its spotting or brownish discharge, that is considered istihaza and not part of haydh. Howeverr, my mum says otherwise as she believes that the menstruation lasts up to ten days, and after that its istihaza. This time, my period lasted for three days but …

Aoa. According to fiqh rules, when a husband and wife are being intimate, they are forbidden to use any foreign object. Therefore, sex toys etc. are absolutely haram. But what about the use of some sex toys etc. for reasons other than seeking pleasure within marriage? For example, one type of device is the chastity belt. Is it permissible for unmarried men to use chastity belts so that there is not the slightest bit of chance that they may commit any sexual sin, e.g masturbation? Of course, it is perfectly fine for unmarried men to seek medical help to reduce their natural sexual urges, if they cannot get married or do mutah. Likewise, are chastity belts …

Khums is very confusing for me. Can someone please help me. Last Year I gave Khums of $400 from my savings $2000. So remaining $1600 became Pak/Pure. After few weeks I Spent the whole of remaining Pak/Pure money on something. Now in my 2nd year I have new savings of $3000. How should I calculate Khums this time? If I calculate from $3000, it will be $600 Khums. Or If do $3000 - $1600 = $1400. If I calculate from $1400, it will be $280 Khums. Please help me which way is correct ? I follow Ayatollah Sistani.

Salaam all I have been told by a speech and language therapist a few years ago that I should be drinking water regularly in order to avoid damage to my throat- something I don't really do throughout the day but obviously do drink more than I would be if fasting. Secondly, a lack of sleep makes me susceptible to migraines- today my face was tingling due to a lack of sleep which for me is a sign that a migraine is perhaps on its way. When I do fast if tired it can cause headaches other days I am fine. The combination of working, talking all day (to do with my job) and lack of sleep takes its toll and I am worried about going to work each day and g…

A lot of wet dreams
by Guest Confused- 0 replies

Assalamu Alaikum, Let’s say that someone starts to have a lot of wet dreams (frequently almost everyday at some point) , day by day and sometimes morning after waking up for fajr and going to back to sleep. Even sleeping in their right and left side makes a wet dream occur.What’s he supposed to do based on this? Sometime they wouldn’t feel or remember the wet dream happening but once awake can clearly see white fluid coming out. There isn’t even a change in how the body feels. Is there anything to do on this, is there a ruling regarding this? What is one to do based on this? (I follow Sayed Sistani) Lets say this person after performing ghusl janabah comes…

Salam alaikum brothers and sisters I wish a blessed Mother's Day to all who are observing it today, but don't forget to appreciate your mother every day. Here is a history of the formal holiday in the United States: https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-day For most of us, nothing we can do will ever be enough to repay mother's sacrifices and struggles, but for most mothers, it is enough to know they are loved and appreciated. What can you do today to let your mom know that you love her? What are some usual mother gifts in your culture?
