    In the recommended prayer of Ja’far ibn Abi Talib, is it necessary to recite the dhikr in the bowing position, in the prostration, tashahhud and salam?

    It is a condition to recite the dhikr in tashahhud and tasleem. The dhikr during bowing and prostration are also part of the prayer based on compulsory precaution.

    Can I offer my prayer when wearing clothes that has blood from a wound even if the size of the blood is little?

    If the blood on it is less than the size of a 'dirham' – which should be considered to be no more than 2.3cm as an obligatory precaution – then it is exempted during the prayer from the rule of najasah, and one may pray with such clothing. However, such clothes are still najis, so if his hand touches the blood on the clothes with transferable dampness, then he must purify the hand before offering the prayer.

    What is the ruling if the couple who is contracting temporary marriage forgets to mention the marriage period? If it becomes a permanent marriage, can they end the marriage with divorce? If so, what are the rulings in regards to witnesses and the Iddah?

    Yes, the marriage becomes permanent. The marriage is ended by divorce which requires two Adil men to witness it. The regular waiting period of Iddah of divorce must be observed if the marriage was consummated, but if the marriage was not consummated then there would be no need to observe the Iddah.

    I have read on the internet that Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) taught a supplication to one of his companions for the increase in sustenance. If someone recites another supplication 100 or 500 times a day instead of this particular invocation, will he get the same amount of blessings from Almighty in terms of bounty in sustenance and wealth? Or the first supplication given by Holy Imam (peace be upon him) will be more beneficial?

    The effect of greater sustenance and the like from the supplication that the Imam (peace be upon him) taught shall occur with the permission of Almighty Allah. Other supplications are general invocations to Almighty Allah and are good at all occasions and times.
