    • The claim is not that the tawatur is on the age of A'isha at the time of marriage, rather on the general permissibility of marrying at 9 or 10
    • I see that you take the minimalist approach.
    • I usually enjoy threads where people share something personal - without being too personal.  Post about your prayer space, if you have one. Do you ruse a rug, a blanket, do you decorate your space ?  
    • And is the above narration established and did the person in question die in a state of doubt? Or is anything you can get your hands on to justify Takfir acceptable?  There is a quite lengthy narration in Sahih al-Bukhari, but look at one of the narrators! Al-Zuhri! The same guy, who "narrated" that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) tried to commit suicide.    I find this behavior really strange. Acting as if you have been given the keys to paradise and as if you know with certainity who exactly will enter it and who not. If the person, you hate so much, died upon disbelief, then Allah ta'ala will surely know this and if not, then Allah ta'ala also knows this. Leave the judgement to the Creator jalla jalaluhu.    At the same time: There are things, which pertain to us and our salvation and the state of this Umma! Allah ta'ala says: 53:32 ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ ٣٢ Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him. ___   What do most Sunni and most Imami Mashayikh however say? "No even those who commit major sins will ultimately enter paradise as long as they were from our group!". They got this position from Bani Umayya, because according to Banu Umayya it was enough to claim belief in Islam and do some worship, but at the same time commit all kinds of major crimes and sins. Do not underestimate the destructiveness of this position of theirs. Our state is connected to this very position! 
    • From Moezzi’s book The Divine Guide in Early Shiism:  There is also astrology (al-nujtim); the efficiency of this divinatory “art” is recognized by the imams. Mu‘all'a b. Khunays412 asks Ja‘far whether astrol ogy istrue, to which the imam replies affirmatively.513 In a conversation about astrological calculations, the same imam states: “ ...This calculation is actu ally true, but only he who has the Knowledge of the horoscope of allcreatures [that is, the imam] can know it.”514 And Ja‘far al-Sadiq also says: “Only one family from among the Arabs [ahl baytin min al-‘arab—that is, the family of the Prophet, the imams] and one family from among the Hindus [ahl baytin min al-hind] know the Science of astrology.”515 ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Siyaba516 says to Ja‘far: “People [al-na‘s, that is, the Sunnites] have said that astrology is illicit,butIam attractedtoit;isitprejudicialtomy religion?Ifso,Iwillgive upmy study,butifthisisnotthecase,Iwishtolearnit.”Theimamreplies, “It is not as they say; astrology does no harm to religion. However, you are studying something about which you know very little, and the least amount that you grasp will do you no good, since your calculations are based only on the trajectory [MW] of the moon; do you know how many minutes there are between Jupiter [aI-mushtari] and Venus [al~zuhra]?” “No.” “How many minutes there are between Venus and the moon? Between the sun and Virgo [al-sunbula]? . B.etw.een Virgo and the Well-Guarded Tablet [al-lawh al mahfuzl?” “No, for heaven’s sake, for no astrologist has spoken of these things.” “In each case there are 70 minutes. ‘Abd al-Rahman, who knows thesecalculationsthoroughly,couldtellyouexactlyhowmanyreedsthereare in a field of rushes.”5'8 There are, however, other statements where the imams appear to wish to warn their disciples against purely magical applications of astrology, astrol ogy that has been “profaned,” separated from a Science that has been acquired through divine intervention, since it would otherwise tend toward “black magic.” ‘Ali says: “0 people [ayyuha l-nas, although we are not sure whether he is speaking with disciples or with “ordinary” people], beware of learning astrology, except where itassists you in finding your way over land or sea.519 Astrology leads you to divination; the astrologist is like the diviner, the diviner like the magician, the magician like the impious, and the impious are destined for Fire. Undertake your actions [by relying] on the Name of God.”520 Elsewhere the same imam, after rejecting the predictions of an astrologist,finisheshisstatementwiththewords“MyGod,thereisnodivina tion other than Your divination [al-tayr, lit. “omithomancy,” although the word here means techniques of divination in general, including astrology], there is no bad omen other than Your bad omen, there is no good omen other than Your good omen, and no god other than You.”52l
