Day Questions

Some people in our society have a faith that Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) is superior to Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon him and his holy progeny). What is the truth?

This is a big fabrication and cannot be accepted. There is no doubt in the narrations of the Ahlulbait that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) is better than all mankind and the superiority of the Ahlulbait over mankind is based on their relation to him and being the closest ever to him in their action and faith. It is enough to refer to this narration that Al-Kulayni reported to clear this fallacy: “A man asked Imam Ali (peace be upon him): Since when has your Lord existed? Imam replied: "When was He ever absent so one could ask: since when did He exist?". The man then asked the Imam: “O Commander of the Believers, are you a prophet?” Imam replied by saying: "Woe to you, I am only one of Mohammad’s slaves."

In a charity, is it allowed for the managers to withdraw some amount from the funds given as charity for a particular project in order to cover the administrative costs?

Usually, the charity donors intend for their donations to be used only for the charitable beneficiaries such as the orphans and needy people, in which case the charity establishment is not permitted to use this money in any other way. If the donor gave the donation intending to give the charity establishment absolute discretion in how it is used, then they can use it or some of it for administrative costs.

If someone has missed fasts during the month of Ramadan and missed prayers as well, he should make up the fasts before the next Ramadan. Does he have to make the prayers before the next Ramadan as well?

One must make up the missed prayers, whether they were missed during the holy months or not. They should be made up as long as he is able to do so. There is no designated time for it. So, the make-up can be delayed, but it should not be considered as neglection of the orders of Almighty Allah.

If I intend to marry a Muslim man and I want to understand his personality and his religious thoughts, is it permissible to have a conversation with him over the phone or chat on the internet?

It is permissible to talk or chat without lust.
