At the end of the reception, His eminence asked the Almighty Allah to avenge them from their oppressors, and to compensate them with the best awards in this world and the hereafter.

Day Questions

I want to ask you a question about wearing the ring in the middle and index finger. Someone showed me a book in which there is a narration that wearing the ring in the index finger and the middle finger is prohibited. Is this the case?

There are some narrations that discourage the wearing of the ring on the middle finger and the index finger, but they are not authenticated narrations. Therefore, a religious law cannot be proven from them, in addition to the fact that the narrations can be taken to indicate dislike rather than prohibition.

Is it permissible to invest money in government saving schemes and bonds which pay an interest to the investor? National saving schemes are those where the government borrows from ordinary citizens in exchange for a fixed return with interest.

It is permissible to collect the mentioned interest, but you should not intend the interest-based deal. However, any funds received from the bank should be taken on behalf of his Eminence and then one should take ownership of it after that. It is better to help the needy believers with some of the collected interest if all of it is not needed.

Yes, it is a fundamental part of every prayer.
