Issue No. 2311- The person who endows a property should be mature, sane, and should enjoy free will and authority and should also be entitled legally to appropriate his property. Therefore, if a mentally incompetent person or a debtor, who has been debarred by the Islamic judge from appropriating his property, endows a property of his own, it will not be valid.
Issue No. 2275- A vow will be valid if the person making it is mature and sane, and makes the vow with free will and intention. In case, therefore, he has been forced to make a vow or if he makes it owing to anger or losing his control, his vow is not in valid.
Issue No.1858- The following conditions should be acquired in the property given on lease:1) It should be specified. Hence, if a person says, “I give one of my houses or one of my cars on lease,” it is not in order.2) The person taking the property on lease should see it, or the owner should describe its features completely.3) It should be possible to deliver it. Hence, leasing out a horse which has run away that the hirer cannot get hold of will be void.4) The property should not perish or be consumed through its utilisation. Hence, it is not correct to give bread or fruits on lease.5) It should be possible to utilise the property for the purpose for which it has been given on lease. Hence, it is void to give a land on lease for farming, which cannot be cultivated or does not have sufficient water for irrigation.6) The item which a person gives on lease should be his own property or he should have authority on behalf of its owner in leasing it out.
Issue No. 1205- It is an obligation upon the eldest son who is alive after parents’ death to perform their qaḍā prayers and fasts, provided that they did not leave them due to disobedience, and that they were also able to perform the qaḍā. Even if his parents left them as due to disobedience, the eldest son should, as a recommended precaution, perform their qaḍā. Also, the obligatory precaution is that the eldest son should observe fast that was not observed while they were on a journey, even though they were not able to observe its qaḍā.
Issue No. 1290- Āyāt Prayer is obligatory on the residents of the place in which the event takes place. If the event takes place in another city, it is not obligatory on other people to offer āyāt Prayer.
Issue No.671- Friday prayer (ṣalāt al-jum‘ah) consists of two rak‘ats and replaces the ẓuhr prayer on Friday. It is obligatory at the time of the presence of the holy Prophet (ṣ) or an Infallible Imam (as) and his specific deputy. However, during the major occultation (of the Imam Mahdi (as)), Friday prayer is a Takhyīrī Wājib , which means that we have an option to offer either Friday prayer or ẓuhr prayer. However, at a time when a just Islamic Government is ruling, the obligatory precaution is not to miss it.
Issue No.496- If a person touches the dead body of a human being which has become cold on which ghusl has not yet been performed (i.e., any part of his body comes in contact with it), he should perform ghusl, whether he touches it out of his own volition or not. Even if his nail touches the nail of the dead body, he should perform ghusl.
Issue No. 94- The dead body of blood gushing animals is najis if it has died a natural death; but if it has been killed in a manner other than that prescribed by Islam, it is ṭāhir, though it is better, as per recommended precaution, to avoid it. Therefore, the meat and the hide of animals which are from non-Muslim countries are ṭāhir, but are haram to eat unless one is sure that the animal has been slaughtered according to Islamic law or the one who renders them says so.
Issue No.208- In order for the sun to make the earth and the roof ṭāhir, the following conditions must be fulfilled:First: It should be sufficiently wet, and if it is dry, it should be made wet so that the sun is what dries it.Second: The original najāsah should be removed beforehand.Third: The sun should shine directly on it and not from behind a cloud and the like unless the cloud is so thin that it does not serve as an impediment for shining. However, there is no harm if the sun shines through glass.Fourth: Only the sun should make it dry. Therefore, if it dries it together with wind or some other heat, it will not become ṭāhir unless it is so little that it is said “the sun dried it”.
Issue No.2414- Enjoining good deeds and forbidding from evil actions are incumbent on all sane and mature persons based on the following conditions:1) A person wishing to enjoin good and forbid evil must be certain that the other party is committing a haram act or abandoning an obligatory act.2) He should consider it probable that the enjoining good and forbidding from bad are effective, should the effect be immediate or slow and complete or partial. Hence, if he knows that it would not have any effect, it is not obligatory.3) There should not be any corruption and harm in the enjoining good and forbidding from bad. Therefore, if one knows or fears that enjoining and forbidding will harm his life or his honour or it will cause substantial financial damage to him or to someone else, then it is not obligatory to do so. However, if good deeds and evil acts are among the things that are of paramount importance in Islam, like safeguarding Islam and the Holy Qur'an, the independence of Islamic countries or the protection of the indisputable Islamic laws, then in such cases, one should pay no heed to the harm or the loss and he should endeavour to guard and protect them by sacrificing his life and devoting his wealth.
Issue No. 2238- If a person cuts an animal into two parts with a sword or something else with which hunting is permissible, fulfilling the conditions mentioned above, and its head and neck remain in one part, both parts are halal if the hunter reaches the animal when it is dead or the animal is alive at that time but there is not enough time to slaughter it. However, if there is time for slaughtering it, that part which does not contain the head is haram, and the part which contains the head and neck it will be halal if it is slaughtered according to the rules prescribed by sharia.
Issue No.1778- If the buyer or the seller is forced to conduct a transaction, and consents later, the transaction is valid. However, as a recommended precaution, the formula of the transaction should be re-pronounced.
