Wilayat T.V from Najaf Ashraf. I had a different question but Allamah Taqi Hashmi expressed doubts over YouTube earnings being halal.

As salam o aliakum Ya Ali (عليه السلام) Madad. I was told by a scholar that YouTube earnings are not okay therefore making a post here maybe some people can explain / quote some opinions of scholars over this. As of 2022, i think there came a rule from YouTube that ads will run on all channels but those that aren't monetized, their revenue will go to YouTube. So in 2022, even having a channel on YouTube will become haram wouldn't it? Even if some categories of ads are disallowed by channel owner, normal categories are still going to have content like promotion of any sort of stuff that is indirectly against islam like costumes in games or women doing simple ads but with non islamic dresses etc Also, now a days, shia scholars are quite active on YouTube making bunch of videos everyday why don't they stop?

Bismillah. Discussion on Infallibility is a different thing. Point is, heart of Prophets (عليه السلام) is never unclean. They do not sin and verses of Books of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) that mention such events of mistakes/sins are understood by us shias as Tark e Awla ( Leaving the best possible choice ) and Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has been strict of Prophets (عليه السلام) even for this because of their elevated status. When they pray like they've sinned, its their humility and their submission to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). this doesn't make them a sinner nauzobillah.

Well shias don't. I mean can someone really believe that there was a black spot in heart of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) in the first place? Which was then removed by open heart surgery? We see in Tirimdhi: Search Tips Home » Jami` at-Tirmidhi » Chapters on Virtues كتاب المناقب عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم 49 Chapters on Virtues (1.00) Chapter: What Has Been Related About The Virtue Of The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) (1) باب فِي فَضْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3605 Narrated Wathilah bin Al-Asqa': that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed Allah has chosen Isma'il from the children of Ibrahim, and He chose Banu Kinanah from the children of Isma'il, and He chose the Quraish from Banu Kinanah, and He chose Banu Hashim from Quraish, and He chose me from Banu Hashim." حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الأَسْقَعِ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ قُرَيْشًا وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3605In-book reference : Book 49, Hadith 1English translation : Vol. 1, Book 46, Hadith 3605 Report Error | Share | Copy ▼ Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3606 Narrated Wathilah bin Al-Asqa': that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed, Allah chose Kinanah from the children of Isma'il, and He chose Quraish from Kinanah, and He chose Hashim from Quraish, and He chose me from Banu Hashim." حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي شَدَّادٌ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الأَسْقَعِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى هَاشِمًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3606In-book reference : Book 49, Hadith 2English translation : Vol. 1, Book 46, Hadith 3606 Report Error | Share | Copy ▼ Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3607 Narrated Al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah!

So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Indeed, Allah created the creation and made me [from the best of them,] from the best of their categories, and the best of the two categories (Arabs and Non-Arabs), then He chose between the tribes and made me from the best tribe, then He chose between the houses and made me from the best house. So I am the best of them in person and the best of them in house.'" حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا جَلَسُوا فَتَذَاكَرُوا أَحْسَابَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَجَعَلُوا مَثَلَكَ كَمَثَلِ نَخْلَةٍ فِي كَبْوَةٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ مِنْ خَيْرِ فِرَقِهِمْ وَخَيْرِ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَخَيَّرَ الْقَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ قَبِيلَةٍ ثُمَّ تَخَيَّرَ الْبُيُوتَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ بُيُوتِهِمْ فَأَنَا خَيْرُهُمْ نَفْسًا وَخَيْرُهُمْ بَيْتًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏ He (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was sent among the best people of the best house as the best. Tirimdhi said hadith is Hasan also there are multiple hadiths confirming this hadith. I don't think a believer would ever accept whom Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) sent as the best, he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) once had black spot in heart nauzobillah. There are more narrations like that in Tafseer Al-Thalabi that Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) when went for Miraj and all Prophets (عليه السلام) were bought in front of him (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). A verse was revealed and Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was asked to ask Prophets that why they were made Prophets. Everyone replied ولايتك و ولايت علي ابن ابي طالب i:e when they accepted his s.a.ws wilayah and Wilayah of Mola Ali (عليه السلام). We thus don't accept these narrations

Salam I think it will be great to have such an app for Islamic discussions. Instead of having seperate code-base for Android/IOS, we could maybe develop an application using Hybrid frameworks such as React Native or Flutter. If such an app is needed, we can definitely spare sometime for developing a ShiaChat Mobile App.

SubhanAllah. Indeed Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is the greatest and is our Lord and all praises belong to him. I can't thank him enough for his favors he has bestowed upon me and I beg him for forgiveness and his mercy. What a narration bro comes from Kamal ud deen written 1100 years ago can't people see this narration alone is enough for authenticity of Mazhab e shia?

Its not like throwing them away. Thery'e scholars. Its a out digging things out to get to an unbiased appropriate conclusion. Not to quote some text that can't be established or proved and start quoting it just because it suits a particular sects belief. They've known about it and at multiple occasions, they had to pretend they don't to save their lives which was by order of Imams (عليه السلام) ( taqqiyah ). You can say shias have taqqiyah excuse for everything, but you can't deny the oppression shias have faced i:e arrests, murders upon recognition or for spreading religion etc Its easy to mock us, but very difficult to actually go through those situations especially when companions had to spread deen while hiding their identities from spies and government. Yes we share that narration. We for ourselves have evidence to restrict itra to descendants of Imam Hussein (عليه السلام) because we've multiple narrations from Imams (عليه السلام) and Imams convey sayings of Rasool (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) so your point *no nass after Prophet* wont help you out here. Also you have no narrations for appointment of your imams. You don't even consider them masoom. Therefore itra who can never separate from Quran can never be your non-masoom imams from Ahlebait. Rasool (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) has said: I leave behind two weighty things if you hold fast to them you'll never go astray , Quran and my itra Ahlulbait. So look how you deal with them after me as they'll never seperate from each other till they meet me at hawd. Quran is error free 100% pure and from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). so how can people, who by mutawatir nass can never seperate from Quran be Non Masoom? How can people who by a mutawatir nass can never ever let you go astray if you follow them? These just don't fit your non masoom and non appointed imams

I've listened to speech of a scholar on it on Madraash Tul Qaim YouTube Channel ( Urdu ). Its Allowed. Obedience to husband is obligatory only in four things. This doesn't come under those four. But allowed doesn't mean you should do it.

Multiple imams ( children of imams ) testified to imamah of each other. How can you make such claims. We've hadiths. Yes some weren't told, some were aware and some went astray despite knowing haq. Imam zayd didn't know because it was hidden from him just Like Imam Baqir (عليه السلام) said in above hadith. Thats our answer. And we can definitely compare it to story of Yusuf (عليه السلام).

Not a Hujjah for us and neither for you. Its a sunni source isnt it?

I don't participate in discussions now a days. But can you let people know why are you quoting fabrications then? First you quote Asif Muhseni and Ayatullah Khoei to establish narration is authentic and strong. Then you quote Baqir Al-Behbudi to establish narrations are fabrications. Baqir Behbudi sahab has got no proof for his claim. Argument he gave is not strong actually. Example: during Era of Rasool (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), all Muslims believe he showed many miracles right, but wide majority of people remained kuffar / munafiqeen. Why? Every sensible person would be convinced if someone came to one and split moon into two, etc. But no. Even though path of haq was crystal clear for them, they choose to remain kafirs and some munafiqeen. So by this logic, it has been proved all these miracles of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) are fake stories? Lol nauzobillah because no one got convinced by them or believed in him (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). If people from shias abandoned imamah, they followed their leaders in doing so just like others did. This proves their ignorance and hatred for Ahlebait (عليه السلام). Baqir Behbudi isn't a classical scholar. Hadeeth of 12 imams comes via Ashaab Al Ijma. I hope you understand what that means. Yep we do. And will continue to do so. We praise family of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) for their excellent character and obedience to Allah Almighty. If someone from his descendants go astray, he just like other people who went astray and got cursed. Also you'll find hadiths in which infallibles criticized those persons you mentioned. Being a newphew, cousin of Prophet / Imam doesn't mean one can't go astray or become a disbeliever. Brother ( Imam Baqir ) told him (Zayd) about imamah according to narration you just quoted. Read it. Listen brother, as a Zaydi Shia, you've right to dismiss all these narrations because they are not a hujjah for you. But thinking you can use narrations of twelvers to prove your point, thats far from reality. You should debate some knowledgeable twelvers over Imamah in Quran not Hadiths as neither They're hujjah for you, nor they prove what you try to prove from them.

Narration goes further: ! I said to him: may I be made your ransom – it is only because of his fear of hell-fire for you you that he did not inform you! he feared for you that you would reject it and enter the fire, but he informed me [not caring either way] so if I accept I am saved and he was not bothered that I enter the fire [if I reject]. Then I said to him: may I be made your ransom are you better or the prophets? He said: the prophets, I said: Ya`qub said to Yusuf: “O my son – do not relate your dream to your brothers for they will devise a plot against you” (12:5) why not inform them and expect them not to devise a plot against him but rather he was to keep it a secret from them [so as not to tempt them]? the same way your father kept it a secret from you because he feared for you. He said: by Allah! now that you mention that – your man [the Imam] narrated to me in Madina that I am to be killed and crucified in Kinasa and that he has a book which tells of my killing and crucifixion in it. Later I [al-Ahwal] made the pilgrimage and relayed to Aba Abdillah عليه السلام my conversation with Zayd, so he said to me: you took him from in front and from behind, from the right and from the left, from above his head and from below his legs and did not leave him any room to wiggle out. First of all, this narration proves Imamah of Muhammad Al-Baqir (عليه السلام). since he himself is claiming to be an Imam. Secondly, it's not something that's special about us Imamiyah. Prophet Yaqoob (عليه السلام) didn't let Brothers of Yusuf (عليه السلام) know about his dream or that Yusuf (عليه السلام) is a prophet. For sure this would've saved Yusuf (عليه السلام) from getting into trouble and his brothers from going near one of biggest sins. ( hurting two prophets ). But he knew a bigger sin that brothers of Yusuf (عليه السلام) would've committed if he told them and he refrained from telling brothers of Yusuf (عليه السلام) all the secrets. Similarly Imam Sajjad (عليه السلام) didn't mention it to Zayd. Both waited for right time to let Brothers of Yusuf (عليه السلام) and Hazrat Zayd (رضي الله عنه) know about the right path.

Just came across their channel. Following are some things they stressed on: 1. No wilayah Takwini 2. Today things considered as non negotiable beliefs are ghuluw 3. Imam isn't part of zaruriyat e deen. Allah will accept faith of muslims without imamah. Lol

As salam o aliakum To all who've read this post last year, I apologize openly for harsh words and calling it a Biddah / something that has no basis in shia islam. I no longer hold this view so kindly ignore this thread. Our thiqa scholars have allowed shias to celebrate this day as Eid as mentioned in narrations. Therefore, Happy Eid Al Zahra. Stay blessed!

I have no issues with these hadith. I showed him from his source with saheeh chain just so he may know he have hadith that explain how much important obeying husband his amd what are rights of a wife on husband as compared to what husband has over her
