Day Questions

If someone has a bandage on his wound, how can he perform wudhu? Can tayammum be performed instead?

If the bandaging is tahir and its size was usual for the wound, then it is sufficient in the correctness of wudhu and ghusl to wipe over it. One cannot perform tayammum in this case.

I have just recently known about Ayatollah al-Hakeem (may Allah have mercy upon him) and I have found his rulings to be most agreeable and wise but knowing that he is deceased (may Allah have mercy upon him), is it permissible to still follow him?

It is permissible to follow him only if the edict of the current most knowledgeable marja' allows the following of the deceased marja'. Otherwise, it is not permissible to follow him, but it is obligatory to follow the most knowledgeable living marja'.

Is it prohibited to sell non-halal chicken?

Yes, it is prohibited.

What is the role of Marjaiyya in the new democratic Iraq?

The policies of the previous dictatorial regime in Iraq were focused on personality-worship and the use of all Iraqi resources, capabilities and establishments to strengthen the throne. Once the mentioned regime collapsed, the religious leadership "the Marjaiyya"; directed the Iraqis to fill the legislative, political and security gaps.The Marjaiyya did not enforce a particular kind of regime. Rather, it took in consideration Iraq's conditions and its components. Therefore; a populist election system was adopted on the basis of allowing every private citizen to vote and an election was based on the same guidelines that advanced modern countries observe in addition to preserving Iraqi identity, which encompasses ethical values and religious foundations that Iraqis are proud of. The Marjaiyya did not obligate the citizens to vote for a particular clause in the constitution but they were allowed the freedom of choice.
