Day Questions

How do we explain the punishments imposed by the Sharia for various crimes, such as the death penalty for apostates, while the Quran says that there is no compulsion in religion?

Applying the Sharia-defined punishments is the duty of the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them). No doubt, applying them is a form of justice and not an oppressive act. The punishment is set in the Sharia after the evidence is established and becomes clear in such a way that the noncompliant is considered as an oppressor against himself and the society. As such, the Sharia-defined punishment is not considered against human rights. The verse alluded to refers to the fact that the religion is based on beliefs, and beliefs are not imposed, and does not indicate that there is no punishment imposed by the Sharia for disbelief out of stubbornness and transgression.

What will happen if we think about things while we are praying?

It is permissible and does not nullify the prayers.

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 verdict of the Marja that they follow in a way that the call to act a certain way is with the awareness that it is against the verdict of the Marja that they emulate. If someone asks about the ruling of a particular issue without intending to know the verdict of his 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.

Is it permissible to follow the most society-learned Marja in matters of society and follow the most knowledgeable in other matters?

It is not permissible to differentiate in Taqleed.
