Day Questions

If my marja allows something, is it permissible for me to encourage others to do it even though other marjas have different opinions on the matter?

It is not permissible to encourage them to disobey the edicts of the marja that they follow, in a way that the call to act in a certain way is with the awareness that it is against the edict of the marja that they emulate. If someone asks about the ruling of a particular issue without stipulating that he wishes to the edict of his own marja or he does not have one to follow, then it is permissible to inform him of the ruling that is according to your own marja.

I hit my child when I was teaching him, and I struck him harder than I wanted to, which resulted in a red mark on his body. If I apologised to him and bought him sweets and treats, would that suffice in compensating him? Or, is there a diyah that I must pay?

There is a diyah (compensation) that you must pay him. You may speak to the guardian of the child, usually the father, and if he sees that forgiving you is in the best interest of the child then he can waive the diyah. Then when the child becomes adult – based on the Sharia defined adulthood - he can be asked to waive the diyah.

If a body is decomposed beyond recognition or badly burnt, how can we perform Ghusl on it?

If Ghusl cannot be performed or it leads to the dead body breaking up and damaging it, then it is not mandatory. If the dead body has not deteriorated to such a level then Ghusl is mandatory.
