Day Questions

Is playing in a sports tournament allowed, in which each team or participant pays an entry fee, and there are prizes for winners and runners-up?

If there is an agreement between the competitors that each one of them pays an entry fee, in addition to a condition that the winner will receive a prize, then this agreement is prohibited. If the agreement was to pay a specific amount of money to the organizing committee for participating in the tournament, and the organizing committee has control over the collected monies in managing the game, without putting a condition that obligates the committee to give a prize to the winner(s), but the committee gives the prize as a gift without any obligation, then the agreement in this form is permissible.

Can the divorce be pronounced on the phone?

Based on compulsory precaution it is invalid.

What is the wisdom behind having so many Marjas instead of just having one?

Referring to the religious jurists in finding the rulings of the Sharia is one of concepts which have certain limitations and conditions, for which one must refer to the religious legislator, Almighty Allah. The religious texts explain the general qualities of the scholars whom one should refer to. This concept was implemented during the time of the Imams (peace be upon them) themselves, who guided the believers to refer to certain scholars amongst the disciples in various parts of the Muslim world. The followers of the Ahlulbait continued for the subsequent generations to refer to the scholars who fulfilled the criteria described by the Imams (peace be upon them). Since there are more than one scholar who fulfills these qualities, the individual should refer to the one who is most knowledgeable, and determining this is a subjective task for each individual. Therefore, the believers will naturally come to different conclusions and have different Marjas to follow.

If one is in the month of Ramadan and he had an intention to travel, but his intentions are sinful, for example, he goes to get interest from a Muslim or visit a music concert, is he obliged to continue fasting or not?

If the trip was for a sinful purpose then one should continue his fasting.
