Day Questions

How do we seek intercession with God through the Prophet and Imams of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them all)? Is there a certain dua?

It was reported in some narrations that Imam Mosa Al-Kadhim – our Seventh Imam (peace be upon him) – said to his one of companions: “If you have a request from Allah say: Allahumma inni As’aloka bi haqqi Mohammadin wa Alliyyin fa inna lehuma shaanan minash-shaan, wa qadran minal-qader, fa bihaqqi dhalikash-shaan wa bihaqqi thalikal-qader, an tosalli alla Mohammadin wa Aal-Mohammad wa an……." then you mention your request. The translation of the said supplication is: “O my Lord I ask you by the right of Mohammad and Ali as they have a (high) position amongst the positions and a (high) value amongst the values. By this position and this value praise be on Mohammad and his progeny and…” then say what your request is. There are other supplications mentioned in books of supplication.

Is it possible to perform ghusl in a pool having chlorine?

If the percentage of chlorine is minimal in such a degree that the mixture is still called water without any qualifications, then it is permissible to perform ghusl with it.

A person was eating dark chocolate before sleeping. Upon waking up for Fajr in the month of Ramadan, and before brushing his teeth, he spat a few times and noticed bits of brown and black and generally brown spit. He is not certain if the spit was mixed with leftover residue, or if they were bits of leftover chocolate. Taking into account the fact that before spitting he had swallowed a few times, what is the status of his fast?

The fast is correct, and one does not need to pay attention to such doubts in the said case.

Is it permissible to give the share of Sayyids to my grandmother who is a Hashemite?

It is not permissible to pay khums to poor people if their sustenance is the responsibility of the khums payer. It is obligatory for the duty-bound person to support his grandparents based on compulsory precaution. Therefore, if the Sayyid’s share of the khums is given to the sustenance of your grandmother, then it is not sufficient as khums payment. But if what your give her is to pay off her debt then it is permissible.
