Q:
Is salty water considered added water (Mudaf) that cannot
be used for ablution (Wudu’) or ceremonial washing (Ghusl)?
A: Natural salinity that is similar to that found
in the sea does not render water as not running (Mutlaq);
thus, it does not affect the validity of ablution, Ghusl
and purification.
- Imam
Al-Jawad (a.s.) astonished all people with his abundant
knowledge and his ability to answer the most complicated
questions and to demonstrate Allah's ruling according to
the Shariah
Q:
What are the Haram months and what is prohibited in them?
A: They are Thul-Qi’da, Thul-Hijja, Muharram and
Rajab, and it is prohibited to start the fighting in them.
- You
ought to feel the presence of an absolute Divine supervision
over all your actions and sayings, whether secretly or openly
Q:
Should one recite an Adhan or Iqamah for the supererogatory
prayer? A: There is no Adhan or Iqamah for the supererogatory
prayer.
Just
as we fast in the month of Rajab and other months by abstaining
from eating and drinking, we ought to hold back any feelings
of grudge, enmity, hatred and evil, for that is the true
essence of fasting
His Eminence, Sayyed Ali Fadlullah,
delivered the two Friday sermons. In
the first sermon, he talked about the
story of the owner of the two gardens,
who was greedy and arrogant until he
fell a victim of his own doings. In
the second sermon, the Sayyed warned
that the Arab and Muslim reality might
drive the super powers to impose additional
concessions. He added that perhaps the
time has not come yet to find a solution
in Syria. He ended by condemning the
entire political elites in Lebanon for
caring only about their sectarian interests...Read

In this video, His Eminence, the late
Religious Authority, Sayyed Muhammad
Husssein Fadlullah (ra), says that Imam
Al-Baqir, just as his father before
him and his sons after him, used to
answer people’s question, and if they
did not ask, he would start explaining
without being asked. He also says that
the late Sheikh Al-Mufid said that Imam
Abu Ja’afar, Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hussein,
was the successor of his father, Ali
Bin Al-Hussein, and the one to assume
the Imamate after him, and that he was
also the teacher of those from among
the Prophet’s companions who were still
living, those who followed them and
the most prominent of the Muslims’ jurists.

Allah says: “Fighting is enjoined on
you, and it is an object of dislike
to you; and it may be that you dislike
a thing while it is good for you, and
it may be that you love a thing while
it is evil for you, and Allah knows,
while you do not know.” (02: 216). Fighting
was not incumbent or allowed for Muslim
