    Someone joins the congregational prayer while the imam is in the bowing position, but he later changes his intention not to follow the imam. He subsequently decides to follow him again during the same prayer. Can he do so?

    If he intended to break the congregational prayer and pray alone, and then he or the imam had performed an act of prayer, then he has left the congregational prayer and must complete his prayer alone. Rather, the same is the case if neither of them performed any act, as an obligatory precaution.

    If a Sunni husband is not fulfilling his rights in relation to his Sunni wife and does not give her a divorce, can she obtain a divorce according to Shia jurisprudence?

    If she is intending to act upon the rulings of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them), then she may refer to the Shia qualified jurist to divorce her provided that the conditions of divorce are fulfilled.

    How does one determine the uppermost limits of the face in wudhu of a bald person?

    One starts washing the face from where the hair conventionally grows for people with a normal hairline.

    Some foods are greasy and such greasiness blocks water from reaching the skin in wudhu, so is it necessary for me to wash around my mouth to remove the grease every time before I do wudhu because of the food that I have eaten throughout the day?

    If the amount of grease is considerably much in such a way that it prevents the water from reaching the skin, then it is obligatory to wash it in order to perform wudhu; otherwise, it is not obligatory.
