Issue No.912- The prayer of a person who has come short in learning the qarā'ah and the dhikrs [1] of prayer, is void, and if the time is short and he cannot learn them, the obligatory precaution is that he should offer his prayer in congregation, and if he does not have access to congregation, his prayer will be valid in the shortage of time.
Issue No. 1667- One should not delay the payment of zakāt. Hence, when zakāt becomes obligatory, one should give it either to the poor or to the Mujtahid or his representative. However, if he is awaiting a particular poor person or wishes to give it to an indigent person with some privilege, he may delay, but in this case, he should, as an obligatory precaution, separate the zakāt from his wealth.
Issue No.1812- If the buyer does not know the price of the commodity or overlooks the price when purchasing it, and buys the commodity for a price higher than usual; and in case the difference in value is substantial that people consider him to have been cheated, he may terminate the transaction. This rule also applies to the seller if he does not know the price of the commodity and is cheated.
Issue No. 2116- The following are the nine conditions under which suckling a child becomes the cause of being maḥram:1- The milk should be due to giving birth to a child. Hence, if the breast of woman gets milk without having given birth to a child, and a child is fed by that, it does not become the cause of being maḥram.2- The child should suck the milk of a woman who is alive. Hence, it is of no consequence if milk is sucked from the breast of a woman who is dead.3- The milk of the woman should not be the result of a haram act. Therefore, if the milk of an illegitimate child is given to another child, the latter will not become the maḥram of anyone.4- The child should suck the breast, therefore, if the milk is poured into the mouth of the baby, as an obligatory precaution, he should not marry that woman and those who are her maḥram.5- The milk should not be mixed with any other thing.6- The milk should be from one husband. Hence, if a woman, who is still able to breastfeed a child, is divorced and marries another man and becomes pregnant and the milk of the first husband still remains in her body until she delivers her child then in case, she feeds a child eight times with the milk of her first husband and feeds the same child seven times with the milk of her second husband that child will not become the maḥram of anyone. Similarly, if a woman breastfeeds a child fully from the milk of the first husband and then breastfeeds another child from the milk of the second husband, those two children will not become maḥram to each other. 7- The child does not vomit the milk on account of illness. In case, the child vomits the milk, the obligatory precaution is that the persons who are to become his maḥram on account of suckling of milk, should not marry him and should not look at him as a maḥram.8- The child should suckle fifteen times, or for one full day and night as will be explained in the next issue, or the suckling should be of such quantity that it could be said that the bones of the child were strengthened and its flesh grew as a result of the milk. The recommended precaution though, is that if a child is suckled ten times, those who become maḥram with the child owing to the suckling should not marry the child and should not look at him/her as a maḥram either.9- The child should not have completed two years of age. Hence, if the child is suckled after it has completed two years of age, the child does not become maḥram to anyone. Even if, for example, he sucks milk fourteen times before completing his two years of his age and sucks it one time after completing his two years he does not become the maḥram of anyone. However, if from the time the woman gave birth to her child two years has passed and her milk continues and she breastfeeds a child, the obligatory precaution is that, the child should not marry those women who become his maḥram due to suckling and should not look at them as maḥram either.
Issue No. 1536- The taxable limit of a treasure is 105 mithqāls (362.88 gms) of silver if it is silver and 15 mithqāls [1](51.84 gms) of gold if it is gold. This means that if the value of anything found as treasure is equal to this amount, it will be obligatory to pay khums on it, but if it is less than that, it will not be obligatory to pay khums on it. And if its value is not equal to 15 mithqāls of gold, but is equal to 105 mithqāls of silver, it is still liable to khums, and the same rule applies to the contrary.
Issue No.566- The prayer of the dead body should be offered standing, with the intention of proximity to Allah (swt) and one should specify the deceased in the intention, e.g., one should make his intention like so: "I am offering prayer on this dead body seeking Allah's proximity". However, if there is no one who is capable of offering the prayer for the dead individual while standing, it can be offered while sitting.

Issue No.1791- At the time of pronouncing the formula of the transaction, both parties involved should intend to establish a transaction. That is, by uttering the above mentioned words, they should seriously intend upon buying and selling. Similarly, in cases where practical trade replace the verbal formula, there should also be the intention of selling and buying. Both natural and legal persons can be owners and can be parties in the contract. Thus a charitable or a non-profit institute, which has a legal personality, does not make any difference from a natural personality in this regard.
Issue No. 1488- One can adopt either the solar or the lunar year as their khums year.
Issue No. 125- The alcohols that are not originally drinkable or are poisonous are not najis, but if they are diluted and turn into an intoxicating beverage, they are haram to drink and najis as an obligatory precaution.
Issue No. 1476- There is no difference between businesses and incomes. However, if a person borrows something (e.g., money) from another person, there is no khums due on it. Similarly, there is no khums on the property that one receives as inheritance, unless it is known that the dead person did not pay its due khums, or he owes khums for other properties and estates. In the case of the value of the inheritance increasing, khums should be paid on the surplus if the khums year has reached it.
