Salam. I know the girl personally on another platform and can say for sure it isn't a scam. @Shi3i_jadeed and @Husayni can also verify

What does Kavanaugh have to do with the thread?

This is a quote of Imam Khomeini It was very very bad but I think my grandmother didn't suffer as much since it was under the second shah not reza shah Hmm she told me she wore it during that time and the teachers would punish her, maybe she meant outside of school?

My grandma wore one anyways I was told girls who wore them were beaten though and it was very much discouraged though not banned completely like under Reza Shah.

There are hadiths prohibiting chess, don't know what you mean by "could not." The rules of the religion don't change because you don't like them. How much Zaydi literature have you read lol. Are you convinced that the zaydi doctrine is true or just like it?

I didn't click after seeing Carlzone's reply and don't think any guys should either. Whats with all these weird topics lately....

Akhi what do you think of this article http://www.revisitingthesalaf.com/2014/12/imam-al-mahdi-ajf-part-iii.html. I'm neutral on this issue but this article basically proves the sanad to Sulaym ibn Qays to be reliable. Sheikh al-Tusi said there was Ijma on this issue if i remember correctly so of course it was a common belief, the issue is this particular event (of Imam Ali (as) threatening Umar) is only found in Kitab Sulaym so if you consider Kitab Sulaym weak you can't really prove this happened. Got a pdf of the book? I remember reading on al-islam that Amir Moezzi believed that the original book (as in the book without the distortion and addition which has happened over the ages) would be reliable.

From Sayed Sistani's risalah Issue 14: If a person performs his acts for some time without taqlid of a Mujtahid, and later follows a Mujtahid, his former actions will be valid if that Mujtahid declares them to be valid, otherwise they will be treated as void. https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01208/ This takes 5 minutes, if you want to find out the Shia opinion on something don't just ask random people on facebook, ask someone in real life or do some research...

This is why you never say Assad must + the opposite of stay. v

I like how his speeches cover a wide variety of topics. Even if you disagree with him on some points there's always something to be taken from what he says.

Anyone got sources showing psychological damage done from delaying marriage for so long? Of course it isn't ideal but what psychologists say about it would be interesting to hear.

Its always the evil Shias

Yeah countries like Lebanon are too fractured to be run by Islamic law, that would cause another civil war. But as for Iraq even though Shias and Sunnis are divided there it's possible, why don't they give Sunnis autonomy to run under their own Sunni system while the Shia areas are run by Shia judges and authorities? Better than the corruption they have right now.

Of course the US outclasses the IRI in almost everything. Just wondering if it would have a big impact on Iranians lives. Would it be able to help people keep their businesses and investments safe? I hope so but economically Iran's future seems bleak.
