His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem, on 16 February 2020, received a group of youth from Baghdad, children of martyrs who died fighting in the Popular Mobilization Forces (Al-Hashd Al-Sha’bi) against Daesh.

His Eminence praised the clear and manifest courage of their fathers and their sacrifice for their religion, their homeland and the holy shrines. By the grace of Allah and through their sacrifice and spilling of their noble blood, they were victorious over the enemies.

His Eminence called them to follow the Holy Prophet and the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them all), and that their ethics and morals should by distinctly higher than others, and that they should adhere to the teachings of the Sharia.

His Eminence concluded by praying to the Most High and Mighty to provide support for them and to support those who serve and help the orphans, that their Ziyarah is accepted, and that they see the blessings of it in this life and the Hereafter. He finally requested that his greetings and best wishes be conveyed to their families.

Day Questions

After having been granted one's wish by Allah Almighty, how long should one continue to offer the thanksgiving prayer?

The said prayer is not obligatory, and it can be repeated as many times as one desires. An individual is expected to feel the Godly bounties that surround him day and night. Such feeling is not limited to the time after granting the wishes. It was reported that it is recommended for an individual to say everyday seven times "Alhamdulillah ala kulli ne'matin kanat aw hiya kaainah" (Praise Allah for every bounty that has been granted and for those which will be granted)".

Is it obligatory on the husband to have sex with his wife?

It is not permissible for the husband to abandon sexual intercourse with his permanent wife for more than four months. He must have sexual intercourse with her at least once every four months in the usual way to satisfy her sexual need. The same is obligatory with the temporary wife based on compulsory precaution.

When purifying an object which has become najis due to something other than urine and under-kurr water is used, such as from a pitcher, is it sufficient to just pour water on the object once?

Yes, it is sufficient to pour that water once to make it tahir, and it is necessary to pour the water twice if it became najis with urine.
