Issue No. 2227- In order to slaughter a camel, while following the above-mentioned five conditions for slaughtering, one should thrust a knife or any other sharp metal into the hollow below its neck. This is called "naḥr" and according to some narrations, it is better to thrust a knife in the neck of the camel when it is standing.

Issue No. 1518- If a person who is in partnership with someone else, knows that his partner does not pay khums on his profit, it is not permissible for him to continue his partnership with him unless he pays khums due on his own share in which case we permit him to continue the partnership. However, enjoining good and forbidding evil in a polite manner should not be forgotten.

Issue No. 2041- If the wife revokes the marriage because of the husband’s inability to have sexual intercourse, the husband should give her half of the mahr. However, if the man or the wife revokes the marriage because of one of the other defects enumerated above, and if sexual intercourse has not taken place, the husband will not be liable for anything.

Issue No.1883- If a person leases out a house which has, for example, two rooms, and one of those rooms is ruined and he gets it repaired immediately, and the benefit which can be derived from it is not at all affected, the lease does not become void, and neither can the lessee cancel the lease.

Issue No.1882- If before the commencement of the period of lease, the leased property becomes so impaired that it is not fit for use, or it cannot be utilised in the manner agreed upon, the lease contract becomes void, and the lessee can take back the money paid by him to the owner of the property. Similarly, in case the leased property is impaired after sometime during which it has been utilisable, the remaining period of the lease becomes void.

Issue No.1884- If the lessor or the lessee dies, the lease contract does not become void, and that right remains for their heirs till the end of the lease contract. However, if they have laid a condition that the lessee himself uses that property not anyone else, then the owner of the property is entitled to cancel the contract for the remaining period.

Issue No.1881- If the lessor sells the property to the lessee before the expiry of the period of lease, the lease contract is not cancelled, and the lessee should give the rent of the property to the lessor. The same rule will apply if the lessor sells the leased property to someone else.
