Scholars

This is a false allegation on Al-Majlisi fabricated by our enemies who always try to put false allegations on us. Tahreef claims and narrations are in Sunni books from Ayesha who claimed that many verses were lost because it was eaten by an animal (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 6: 269 and Sunan Ibn Maajah 1: 625)

, and narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab who claimed that Sura Al-Azhaab was as long as Sura Al-Baqarah.(Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 5:132 and Al-Mustadrak Alal- Saheehayn  by Al-Haakim al-Nisabori 4:359).
Tahreef claim is refuted in our main books written by our leading Shia Ulama like Shaikh Al-Sadouq, Shaikh Al-Mufeed, Allama Al-Hilli, Shaikh Al-Tousi, Al-Shareef Al-Murtadha, Al-Shaikh Al-Tabarsi, Al-Shaikh Al-Bahaare, Al-Shaikh Kashif Al-Ghitaa', Al-Sayyed Sharaf Al Deen, Sayyed Al-Khoei and other great Shia Ulama. Al-Majlisi never said that Tahreef took place in Quran but he said that some people diverted the meanings of some verse from its real meanings. If fact Shaikh Majlisi stated clearly that Quran can never be distorted as Allah Has preserved Quran from adding on it or omitting from it or changing any word of it or any Tahreef. ( Bihar Al- Anwar, volume 9, page 113).

These are few names of prominent scholars who gave verdicts regarding trading in cryptocurrencies : Ayatullah Shaikh Eshaq Al-Fayyqdh, Late Ayatullah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’eed Al-Hakeem, Ayatullah Sayyed Moosa Shubayri Zanjani (If it does not harm others nor contradict with the rules of the country).

Studying in the Hawza in Najaf or Qum or Mashhad or other places needs an evidence that you are really keen to study the Islamic studies in the Hawza. Usually you local Islamic scholars should recommend you to any teacher in the Hawza. Your local Aalimi's recommendation is useful to ensure that your intention in joining the Hawza is seeking knowledge for the sake of Allah (SWT).

If you need any assistance to get admission in any Hawza, you can write to wabil@wabil.com

Seeking advice from sincere scholars in any religious matter is very good.

Non religious or even religious person can not claim that he receives inspirations or revelations. Pious servants of Allah (SWT) can be guided through their piousness and sincerity but they never claim receive and revelation.

Yes if they really spread misinformation and misguide others. But proving that needs concrete evidence confirmed by authentic scholars under the guidance of Marje; of Taqleed. Our own opinions when we dislike a lecturer does not stand as full evidence against him unless we get confirmation from Marje' of Taqleed or authentic Ulama under his guidance.

Wilayat al-Faqeeh (The authorities of the Jurist who is the Marje’ of Taqleed) is a matter of discussion between our jurists since hundreds of yeas till now. The majority of our Fuquhaa’ did not have the ability to implement Hudud punishments. Our political system is what the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) practiced and taught all Muslims, but it always depends on the circumstances and the possibilities of the Faqeeh. Faqeeh who is able to implement Islamic rules is called Mabsoot al-Yad مبسوط اليد . Most of our Foquhaa on our Shia history were never Mabsoot al-Yad.

We don’t raise slogans which are not easy or not possible to implement. When our Fuquhaa are able to implement Islamic rules , they will do whatever they can.

It is not permissible to do any work which helps the wrong doers and the money earned from such work is unlawful. Israel is killing innocent children, women and men

Quran says: Ask those who have the knowledge if you don't know. فاسألوا أهل الذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون Sura Al-Anbiyaa, verse 7. Obviously we can not ask a dead scholar no matter how high was his knowledge.

Mujtahid must be alive to understand the exact situation of any matter then deduct the Islamic rule of it from Quran, Sunnah, Aql and Ijmaa'.

Sunni Muslims follow dead Shaikhs like Abu Hanifa, Shafi'ee, Malik and Ibn Hanbal. Even Salafi or Wahabi sects follow Ibn Taymiyyah. All of them died before many centuries and never witnessed nor knew about our current issues. Following dead scholar does not fulfill the need of guidance at all because full guidance needs full knowledge about the situation which is with a living eligible scholar not with a dead scholar.

All Hadeeths asking us to refer to the scholars never asked to refer to dead scholars but living scholars who can be asked and who can reply after understanding the situation.

'Wassalam.
