Hameedeh

Salam. Ask your parents to see a lawyer and have him/her create a legal document, a pre-nup (prenup, prenuptial agreement) stating that if he ever gets married by nikah or mutah to any other woman without your permission, you have the right to ask for a divorce. I haven't searched about a prenup or a divorce (laws probably depend on where you live), but there should be mentioned in the legal document how your combined assets would be divided in the event of a divorce. Will he give you the house so you and your future children have a home or would you return to your parents and the house be sold and part of the money be given to you? If he doesn't want to sign it, tell him your parents need to be assured that he is a fair and honest man. As for your own peace of mind concerning him as a good husband, if you are a good wife and make your life pleasant he would not want to have a second wife.

Salam. You live in Texas and she lives in Iran. How is it even possible that your family is forcing you to marry her? If she makes you angry and you want to hit her, just say no to the marriage.

Salam. Common occurrence a few times per year. When the site is going through an update, loading a page can get slow.

There is snow in mountain tops that melt and become available for plants and animals. However, in western Iran the great Urumia lake has been slowly drying up due to lack of rainfall. Satellite images have shown the size of the lake has diminished over the years. I am pretty sure that ShiaChat has an old topic about it.

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful Announcement Concerning: The Crescent Moon of the Month of Jumada al-Akhira, 1447 A.H. اضغط هنا لملاحظة بيان هلال شهر جمادى الآخرة ١٤٤٧ هـ To the respected believers in North America, Peace be upon you.

This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Friday, November 21st, 2025, until midnight Eastern time, in any region south of the United States.

Thank you for your help in this matter. Actually, he says that his family is Shia but he is confused about some beliefs and practices, especially mutah.

@Abu Hassanain Salam, Brother. The person who started this topic has asked that it be deleted. Since you spent a lot of your time to reply in this topic, I would like to know if you agree to have this topic removed.

The Minimalists gave a TED talk about how scrolling is bad for you. Yes, you knew that already, but when famous people say it, then it gives importance to it. Live a meaningful life with less stuff, less clutter, less distractions, including less digital clutter. The Minimalists stopped using social media for a whole year after they learned that most people spend two hours a day scrolling and that people who spent more than two hours a day were three times as likely to be diagnosed with depression, and had a 40% higher risk of sleep problems, etc.

Salam. Mutah marriage is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an and also found in our hadith. ShiaChat does not promote mutah, which is a blessing that Allah has provided for those people who need it. We only want everyone to understand the rules of mutah marriage as well as nikah marriage. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) help you in all your Islamic endeavors.

Salam. I had not heard this before. Thank you.

Salam, Sister. Where are you getting it? Youtube?
