Day Questions

Apart from dying in Jihad, how does someone die a martyr?

There are lots of narrations from the Prophet and the Imams that whoever died while he was waiting for our matter (i.e. for the government of the Imam) then he shall be considered like whoever died in battle for the Last Imam (may Allah hasten his reappearance) and the said is the best way of ending this life.

I am permanently married to a man at the moment with my fathers permission, but before we got married permanently, whilst I was living with my parents and still a virgin, we entered into a temporary marriage contract without the permission of my father. This was done in order to talk and get to know each other without committing sin and no sexual intercourse took place. Did we commit a sin?

You did not commit a sin. However, one should pay attention to the fact that the permanent marriage should take place after the end of temporary marriage. When the couple decides to marry permanently and there is still some time left from their temporary marriage, the husband should forgo the remaining time, in order for the permanent marriage to be with a non-Mahram.
