Day Questions

I just began to pay khums this year, but I have been a Muslim for over 5 years. How do I calculate how much khums to pay if I do not know how much money I made in the past 5 years?

May Allah accept from you this sincere intention in upholding His teachings and obligations. Khums is a divinely-prescribed obligation. It is the fifth of the yearly income after deducting expenses. It can be calculated as a fifth of all the monies that is in one’s possession plus the fifth of the worth of the items that were unused during the year. This khums amount is divided into two equal amounts: The first one is the share of Sayyids. It should be spent on needy people from the clan of Hashim, the great-grandfather of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). The second one is the share of the Imam (peace be upon him). It should be given to the religious Adil Marji who is able to spend it in accordance to what pleases the twelfth Imam (peace be upon him).

Is it permissible to ascribe associates to the personality of God, His attributes, or the requirements of His attributes, with the intention of supplicating to the 14 Infallibles (Peace be upon them)?

Seeking intercession of the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them) is not a kind of polytheism. It is one of the best forms of worship, since it includes presenting the request to Almighty Allah and submitting to His lordship, as all things are under His control: “His verily is all creation and commandment" (7:54). In this seeking of intercession, there is the submitting of the high positions of His close ones who He has chosen and this is one of the signs of faith. There are many proofs establishing the permissibility of such worship. One of them is when Almighty Allah said: "When they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful." (4:64).

Shaikh Saduq in "Al-Ilal" narrated the sermon of Shiqshiqiya via a chain of narrators ending with Ibn Abbas. There is Ikrima in that chain. Was he an enemy of the Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them)?

The mentioned sermon is famous and was narrated by different chains of narrators. Furthermore, if the one who narrates an incident or a narration that does not support some of his beliefs and even goes against him, then this is an indication that the narration is true. It is known that some of the content of this sermon does not correspond to the beliefs of the enemies of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them); therefore, the authenticity of the sermon is beyond doubt.

Is it permissible for Shias to wear red clothes if they live in Iraq or Iran?

It is permissible to wear red clothes, but it could be in some cases unfamiliar to the society, so whoever wears red clothes could subject himself to embarrassment or humiliation.
