The Press Release on the Attack in Nigeria

The Press Release on the Attack in Nigeria
2016/07/02

We strongly condemn the savage attack that resulted in the horrible massacre against the Muslim followers of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) in Nigeria.

The circumstances and the intensity of the tragedy suggest the suspicious meditated intention of parties who do not care about the stability of the country or about the harmony between the sects of the nation.

We hold the Government of Nigeria fully responsible in investigating the circumstances of the tragedy, bringing the criminals to justice, freeing the innocents, and preventing this from taking place again.

We call the concerned international communities to uphold their responsibility in condemning this crime and pressuring those who caused it.

We ask Almighty Allah to grant the wounded fast recovery, to have His mercy on the souls of the victims and to give patience to their relatives. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Day Questions

If the deceased has three children, and a fourth son died, and the deceased has three grandchildren through him, will his grandchildren inherit from the grandfather the share of their deceased father?

They do not inherit in the said case.

If my clothing is open or torn from underneath, such that the private parts are visible only from directly underneath, is prayer in such clothes valid?

The prayer is not invalidated by this, unless one is praying on the roof or the like, such that the private parts are considered exposed.

Is it possible to change one’s Marja because the first Marja’s verdicts are very difficult to follow in comparison to the second Marja’s verdicts?

After choosing a certain Marja who is qualified to be followed and following him, you should continue following him, until it is proven to you via religious evidence that indicates that there is a more knowledgeable living Mujtahid than the current Mujtahid. It is not permissible to pick verdicts from another Marja just because it suits you.

A lending institution asks people who are interested in borrowing to bring a guarantee of gold jewelry. They value the gold by their authorized goldsmith to be less than the market value. Is it allowed to borrow from such an institute?

If the guaranteed gold is valued to be less than its market value and such a way of estimation is a condition in the transaction, then such a deal is invalid.
