Day Questions

If pre-ejaculatory fluid (or Cowpers fluid) is passed after ablution, is the ablution valid?

Discharge of the said liquid does not invalidate the ablution.

Can the following deeds be considered disrespectful to the Infallibles (peace be upon them) if they are done on the day of the martyrdom/death of any one of them? Talking, laughing with friends and family members; Purchasing a new thing for myself or family; Eating some special food; Doing business or going to work; Going to a doctor for a check-up or going to a laboratory for a test or starting a medical treatment; Playing a game like cricket, hockey etc.; Asking an ordinary question or a question related to marital affairs from one’s Mujtahid; Taking out family for outing, recreation; Starting a new activity; Getting one’s car, house or any other possession repaired.

It was reported in some authentic narrations of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) the emphasis on crying, showing sadness and grief for Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and establishing the mourning ceremonies for his tragedy and refraining from eating or drinking on the day of Ashura - without the intention of fasting - and breaking it with little water and food after noon. It was reported also to refrain from going out for regular needs on such occasions. It was also reported that whoever goes out to fulfill one of his needs that day, Almighty Allah will not bless it if it was fulfilled. It was also reported the emphasis on presenting grief and sadness for the tragedies of the Ahlulbait in general and there is no doubt that the days of their martyrdoms are the best to do so. From such narrations, one can determine under what category the mentioned examples fit, since some of them are inconsistent with sadness and grief, while others are not.

What are the beliefs of Shia? Do they differ from Sunnis’ beliefs?

The beliefs of Sunnis are not different than those of Shias with respect to the belief in the two testimonies. The difference is in the concept of Imamate – the leadership of the nation of Islam after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) – where the followers of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) believe in the Imams from the Ahlulbait as the religious and the political leaders of the Muslim nation after the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), as this is mentioned in a very clear and frank way in the tradition of Thaqalain. It is reported in the books of traditions of Shias and Sunnis that the Prophet said: "I leave among you the two weighty things, the book of Allah and my progeny; as long as you follow both of them, you will never be misguided".

Does your office help in with Tabligh activities?

The office has several religious propagation activities in a number of Muslim countries like Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran , Europe and other countries as per the available possibilities and capabilities. We ask the Almighty to guide us and all the active workers in the religious fields and to accept from us all these little contributions and forgive us for our shortcomings; He is indeed the Most Merciful.
