The Meeting of His Eminence with the Managers of the Mawakib of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him)
2017/09/20

His Eminence Grand Ayatullah Sayyid Mohamed Saeed al-Hakeem advised those who serve at the mawakib of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), that they be strong armour for the genuine religion of Islam, for the true path of the Ahlullbait (peace be upon them), and for the Islamic seminary (Howzah), by attaching themselves to the teachings from Imam Hussain’s (peace be upon him) life, and informing people of his great cause for which he sacrificed himself alongside his family and companions, and by engraining this in the future generations.

His Eminence gave this advice to a delegation of managers of the mawakib of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), in Najaf on Wednesday 28 Dhil-Hijjah 1438 (20 September 2017).

His Eminence also called them to understand that their creed has become greater and elevated, and the nations of the world respect it due to the commitment the believers have in abiding by the laws of God and avoiding from the sins, and safeguarding the teachings of the Infallibles (peace be upon them) and following their footsteps.

His Eminence also invited the managers of the mawakib of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him.) and the mourners of Imam Hussain (Peace be upon him) to adhere to the expressions of grief over of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them).

The meeting was concluded by praying for their success and divine support, and asked them to spread the spirit of harmony and love and unity amongst each other, appreciating their efforts and the time they have spent in serving the pilgrims to the holy shrines, as well as the giving of support to the peace forces and the popular mobilisation which has reached the north and west of Iraq.

Day Questions

If the floor of a bathroom becomes najis and the essential najasah has been removed but the whole bathroom floor is wiped with the same mop that removed the najasah, does the whole area become najis? If one steps in it after some time, does his foot become najis when they are wet? If so, then does najasah transfer when my moist foot touches my room floor?

Yes, the whole bathroom floor becomes najis in the said scenario with the existence of dampness, and whatever touches it with dampness becomes najis, provided that this was the only cleaning method used. If the floor is cleaned through other ways as well in which the taharah of the floor is achieved, such as with running tap water, such that one is no longer certain of the najasah of the floor when it comes in contact with the foot or the clothes, then one can consider the foot as tahir. This applies to any situation where najasah is doubted after being sure that taharah took place.

What is the Islamic ruling on treasury bills? Treasury bills are given when you lend money to the government and expect it to be returned with interest at the end of a specified period.

It is permissible to make use of the treasury bills, and one must not intend to make a deal with the government, but rather intend to make use of this mechanism. When collecting the money, it should be on behalf of the religious ruler i.e. the Marja.
