The grand authority, his eminence Sayyid Al-Hakeem (may Allah prolong his life) met on the 4th of Moharram, 1435 with the special representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Mr. Nickolay Mladenov in the Office of his eminence in the Holy city of Najaf.

His eminence stressed on the necessity to expose and condemn the bloody systematic campaign against the followers of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) worldwide, and specifically in Iraq in an unprecedented way. It is supported by some regional countries and other countries; where the terrorists are provided with various killing means, political cover and incitement verdicts using public media.

His eminence called the United Nations to act upon its duties and respond to these massive violations as clear examples of genocides and crimes against humanity.

Mr. Nickolay Mladenov promised to convey all of this to the United Nations Secretary General and present it to the Security Council.

Day Questions

When I was in school I went to a supermarket with my friends and I stole a magazine, this again was before I was practicing Islam. Now the supermarket isn't there and there is a new one. So, my question is how should I atone for this? Should I give money to charity on their behalf?

You should look for the shop owner and pay him/her the said amount and you do not need to inform the owner why you are paying when you find him/her. If you could not reach him/her, it is enough to be prepared to pay the owner his/her dues when possible. Paying the amount as a charity on behalf of the owner when he/she can not be reached is a good thing but it is not mandatory and does not remove the obligation on you to satisfy the owner whenever you can reach him/her.

My baby’s diaper starts leaking in the house and I am sure that one wet spot in the house is urine, but I am not sure whether most of the other wet spots in the house are urine. There is a trail of wetness where he was running but I do not know if it is urine or something else. What should I do? Can I use bleach or chemical cleaning products or a mop?

The suggested way does not return the taharah of the place. Taharah is done with the use of water. After the removal of the najasah and if under-Kurr water is being used, the najis place should be washed twice, with the removal of the water after each time. This can be done by a piece of cloth or a mop or the like to soak it up. The collected water is najis so one should make sure that najasah does not spread because of it. A bucket or a large utensil can be used near the najis place to put the cloth with the najis collected water. If running water is used, it is enough to wash the place once with or after the removal of any traces of najasah. To be sure that the whole place is Tahir, all parts which are suspected to be najis must be made tahir.

Can anyone enjoin the good and forbid the evil or it is obligatory on scholars and religious leaders only?

It is obligatory on every believer to enjoin the good and forbid the wrong if the conditions are met.

In Sura al-Nour when Allah said: “As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (24:60) According to this verse, old women need not wear hijab; is this correct?

Yes, it is correct.
