Issue No. 1213- To hire a person to offer qaḍā prayer and perform other acts of worship on behalf of a dead person is not free of objection, except for ḥajj. If a person wants to hire someone for other acts, he should give the money as a gift and the hired person should perform the act for free (not in return of the money). However, there is no problem in offering the qaḍā of missed prayer and fast and also offering recommended prayer and observing recommended fast with the intention of qurbah (seeking proximity to Allah, the Almighty) and without wages.
Issue No.1- It is not permissible for a Muslim to follow a Mujtahid in the fundamentals of religion; he must believe in them with his own insight and understanding. However, he should follow a Mujtahid in the branches of religion, i.e., practical laws or codes of practice. If he himself is a Mujtahid (a jurist who is capable of inferring and deducing divine laws from religious jurist who is capable of inferring and deducing divine laws from religious sources), he can act upon his own views but if he is not a Mujtahid, he should follow an expert in this field in the same way as people, who do not have the expertise and information in some matters, refer to experts and seek their advice. He who is not a Mujtahid can also act on such precaution that should assure him that he has fulfilled his religious obligations. For example, if some Mujtahids consider an act to be haram while others say that it is mubāḥ (permissible), he should not perform that act. Similarly, if some Mujtahids consider an act to be obligatory (wājib) while others consider it to be mustaḥab (recommended), he should perform it. However, since it is difficult to act on precaution (iḥtīyāṭ) as, relatively speaking, it demands a considerable amount of knowledge on Islamic jurisprudential issues, the best way for the general public is to refer to a Mujtahid and follow him.
Issue No.520- Permission should be taken from the legal guardian of the deceased for the ghusl, shrouding, performing prayer and burial. The husband takes precedence over his wife, and then those who inherit the person according to the groups that are explained in “inheritance” section of this book will have the legal guardianship over the deceased. And if in one group the heirs are men and women, permission should, as an obligatory precaution, be sought from both of them.
