The Press Release on the Terrorist Attack in Quetta Pakistan
2013/01/16

We were shocked by the heinous crime that was committed by the terrorists in the city of Quetta in Pakistan, that lead to the martyrdom and wounding of a huge number of innocent people. This crime is part of sequence of organized assaults against the followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them).

As we ask the Almighty Allah to send His mercy on the souls of the martyrs and to grant the wounded fast recovery, we condemn this crime and all crimes that were committed by the terrorist groups. These crimes violate all humane criterion and values, and they tarnish the image of Islam and the name of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). We hold the Pakistani government responsible for protecting its own innocent citizens and to bring the perpetrators to justice. We also consider the silence of the Muslim dignitaries and foundations and the carelessness of the international community as important factors that encourage the terrorists to continue shedding blood of innocent people.

Day Questions

What should I do if I come to wipe my head and feet, and I find my hands really dry?

If the hands become dry because of a justifiable excuse, like if he forgot or due to the heat, then one should make the hand wet with the wetness from the beard, eye lashes, eyebrows or any other areas of the face, and wipe using that wetness.

If dried semen is found after having done ghusl of janabah, can it be regarded as tahir, as it has undergone a change, Istihala?

The drying of semen is not considered a change into another substance (Istihala), and it will be regarded as najis.

I would like to know if the sentence: “Every day is Ashura and every land is Karbala,” is a slogan, or a narration from our Imams (peace be upon them)?

The said statement is a slogan, and not a narration from the Prophet or the Imams (peace be upon all of them).

If during the first day of the menstruation a woman has menstrual bleeding, and then no bleeding for two days, and the following day she sees the bleeding for two days again, is it necessary for her to observe the rules of menstruation during the clear days?

In this situation, the woman should have the ghusl of menstruation and she offer the prayers during the clean days. If she did not do so then she must offer the prayers as qadha. She should consider the periods of bleeding as menstruation, even if they were separated by clean periods.
