Day Questions

If after marriage a numerologist says that both the husband and wife are not suitable for each other and there will be lot of problems in their lives, do we believe it or not? Is numerology true?

It is not permissible to believe in metaphysical information through depending on such means, nor is it permissible - for the informer - to tell them with certainty.

Many years ago, when I was 12 or 13 years ago, I stole something from my relative. I was immature then, but I know what I did was wrong and deeply regret it. Admitting this to them will create major problems between families. I have sincerely repented from this kind of sun, but is this enough?

You should return what you took from them. If those items are not present, you should give something similar. If this is not possible, then the value of the stolen items should be given. They don’t need to know it’s from you, or that it is you returning what you had stolen.

Is there any truth in what has been reported of the lofty position of the Day of Nowruz and the great reward that could be reaped for engaging in acts of worship on that day? Is it permissible to engage in these acts of worship as really desired in Islam?

Some narrations are reported that state some recommended acts on this day but their chains of narrators are weak, so one cannot depend on them to derive the said recommendations. At the same time, it is difficult to determine the day from the narration, so it could correspond to the day of Nowruz known in our times or not.
