    If a virgin girl marries without the consent of her father, but with her mother's permission, what is the status of that marriage? What if the father consents to it later, after the marriage? What is the status of the legitimacy of the children born after this marriage?

    If the couple is ignorant of the necessity of obtaining the permission of the guardian in order for the virgin to marry, then the children born to them will be considered to be legitimate. Permission obtained from the guardian later will validate the marriage.

    There is a substance widely used in the food market – for example, in cakes and muffins – called Glycerol (Glycerine), as a humectant or sweetener. Can I eat the cake if it contains this substance?

    If the said material contains a substance prohibited to consume then it is prohibited to consume it; otherwise, it is permissible to consume.

    Somebody in our community claims that he can arrange meetings with Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him). He delivered massages from him. What do you say about that?

    There is no doubt that this claim is false. This person should be ignored regardless of his position in the society.

    If we eat food and later realize it was touched by a polytheist and is therefore najis, are we still going to have the spiritual side-effects of it, or will Almighty Allah relieve us from them as we did not intend to eat something najis?

    We cannot be certain of such an issue but it is best to ask Almighty Allah to raise such effect as He is All Merciful.
