Day Questions

Should I remain emulating a Marja after his death?

If it was proven to you that one of the living Marjas is more knowledgeable than the deceased Marja that you used to follow, then it is obligatory on you to switch to the living Marja. If this is not proven to you and you used to follow a religious scholar that satisfied the characteristics of the Marja then you should continue following him.

Can someone do Tayammum rather than Ghusl in the following situations?1. If somebody has done Ghusl many times and has been affected by too many doubts and taking too much time and using a lot of water, because surety comes very hard for him, and when he finishes his body is under pain.2. If he is in a hurry for a job or something important that he thinks he will be late for if he does Ghusl?

It is not permissible to do Tayammum instead of Ghusl in the said cases as long as water is available. Our advice to you is to economize in spending water, avoid extravagance and perform Ghusl in a balanced way and without paying attention to doubts; having said that, using excessive amount of water in Ghusl does not invalidate it.

I have a Sunni and a Shia translation of the Holy Quran. Which is better and can I rely on the Sunni translation?

Translating the Holy Book of Allah into various languages is a task that should comprise of two things: First: Transferring the precise meaning from a language to another, which requires a great deal of understanding in both languages. Second: Expressing the meaning of the verse from the commentary of the Holy Book, and presenting the facts that correspond to the verse in an honest and precise way. This requires referring to the trustful sources that depend on the teachings of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them).

Why did Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) choose to go out into the battlefield after everyone and why did he not choose to be the first to go and fight?

Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) led the battle in the conventional way at that time. He divided his small army into three groups: the right flank, the left flank and the centre. The battle took place according to the general criterion of conflicts regardless of the number of people in each side. This is the manner in which the Holy Prophet and Imam Ali (peace be upon them) conducted battle as well. Also, the religious responsibility of the Muslims is to help and protect the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them). Therefore, it is natural that the relatives and companions of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) sacrificed themselves in trying to protect him.
