Day Questions

Facebook is a famous social networking website which has been used by the enemies of Islam in their propagation against Islam and in insulting the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) and the Quran. At the same time it is being used for good propagation and information sharing, and in defending Islam. However, it is argued that it is used more for evil than for good. What is His Eminence's view on this?

It is permissible to use it.

I want to know what is the authenticity status of the advice of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) mentioned in Letter 31 in Nahjul Balagha? Some say that it is partially or completely unauthentic. What are your views regarding this?

The said letter is not different from the rest of the letters found in Nahjul Balagha. The doubt about the authenticity of the letter may come from the fact that this letter includes advises directed to Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) which raises the question about the need of the young Imam to such directions although he is infallible. Apparently, the said doubt is not valid since this way of presenting advice could be for the sake of reminding the person and repeatedly giving him the advice. The Quran used this way when Almighty Allah said: “And warn, for warning profits believers.” (51:55) Also, it could be indirect guidance to all Muslims by directing the advice to Imam Hassan (peace be upon him). This way is also mentioned in the Holy book as well. Almighty Allah said: “And cry not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back.” (28:88) In this verse God is addressing the Prophet with guidance, while it is abundantly clear that the Prophet would not worship anyone but Almighty Allah.

If I open an account in a bank in an Islamic country, can I take interest?

It is prohibited to stipulate profit when lending money.

If I do not want my wife to be pregnant, is it permissible for me to use contraceptives to prevent such a pregnancy? Is the ruling different with a wife in temporary marriage?

Yes, it is permissible to do so, whether the wife is in temporary marriage or permanent one.
