Day Questions

In books of classical Shia scholars some reports in praise of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) came without chains of transmission. What is our obligation? Should we accept reports which have no chains of transmissions? Or we should reject them as unestablished?

It is not permissible to reject them and consider them as false narrations, as long as there is a possibility of them actually being truthful and originating from the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them). At the same time, it is not correct to assert them as being truthful if we are uncertain of their truthfulness. They are narrations that might correspond to reality.

What is your view on Masjid Jamkaran? Is the narration about this mosque authentic?

There are no narrations from the Infallibles (peace be upon them) about this mosque. In the book of Mafatih al-Jinan, it is mentioned that a man saw in his dreams that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) ordered him to build a mosque in this particular place and to offer four rak’at prayer. Since one cannot rely on dreams to prove religious rulings, one should not recite the prayers in the said mosque specifically because of any specific religious recommendation. However, one can worship and pray there for the sake of Almighty Allah as in any other mosque.

I have read that for making the hand tahir by qaleel water, it is necessary to pour the water on the hand, and when the water flows off the hand the hand will become tahir. Does this apply to all body parts as well as the penis? What if the najasah is urine?

Yes, the separation of water from the najis object is a condition in the process of purification if the water used is little (qaleel). This ruling is the same for all parts of the body, including the penis. If the najasah is urine then one needs to wash the najis object twice when qaleel water is used.

Can we offer prayers on behalf of our parents while they are alive or are they only to be offered after they pass away?

It is not permissible to offer the qadha prayers on behalf of a living person.
