2021/09/03

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and to Him do we indeed return.

His Eminence, Grand Ayatullah al-Sayyid Muhammad Sa’eed al-Tabataba’i al-Hakeem, has passed away to and returned to his Lord, the Most High. We pay our condolences to the nation of Islam, especially to the followers of the Ahlulbait (Peace be upon them) and the Islamic seminaries (Hawzas).

 We pray to Allah Almighty to bestow upon him His extensive and abundant mercy and blessings, and to raise him with the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahlulbait (peace be upon him).

There is no power or strength, except that of Allah, the Most High, the Most Mighty.

 

The Office of His Eminence al-Sayyid al-Hakeem, 25 Muharram 1443 (3 September, 2021)

Day Questions

If the meat is stunned before slaughtering, will it be permissible to eat? What if one doubts whether the stunning has killed the animal?

If one knows that the death of the animal was a result of the slaughtering process, it is permissible to consume. Otherwise, it is not permissible to consume.

Is it a permissible for me to wear a turban (amamah) that is not white, but another like blue, grey, red or yellow?

It is permissible to do so unless it is not socially acceptable in a clear way for you to wear one with such color, or if the color of the turban is special for a particular linage, like the black-colored turban is specific to the descendants of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) – the Sayyids – as in some countries wearing such black turbans by people who are not Sayyids is considered as deception and lying, so it is prohibited from this aspect.

Is it permissible for a wife to sing in a wedding ceremony in front of many people, men and women, without her husband’s permission?

This is not permissible even if the husband allows it, since it is impermissible to do so in the presence of men. If the audience comprises of only women, then it is permissible for woman to sing during wedding ceremonies, without music.

I committed a big sin and had sex outside the marriage, and after that I am now not able to concentrate, everything gone upside down, and I am feeling so guilty about myself, only one thing is coming in my mind that I cannot live with this guilty anymore and want to finish myself.

It is not correct to commit a greater sin because of committing a lighter one, since committing suicide is greater than adultery. You should repent from what you have done as Almighty Allah forgives all sins. You can guard yourself by getting satisfied through marriage whether it is permanent or temporary. May Allah help you pass this hardship.
