The Press Release on the Attack in Nigeria
2016/07/02

We strongly condemn the savage attack that resulted in the horrible massacre against the Muslim followers of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) in Nigeria.

The circumstances and the intensity of the tragedy suggest the suspicious meditated intention of parties who do not care about the stability of the country or about the harmony between the sects of the nation.

We hold the Government of Nigeria fully responsible in investigating the circumstances of the tragedy, bringing the criminals to justice, freeing the innocents, and preventing this from taking place again.

We call the concerned international communities to uphold their responsibility in condemning this crime and pressuring those who caused it.

We ask Almighty Allah to grant the wounded fast recovery, to have His mercy on the souls of the victims and to give patience to their relatives. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Day Questions

A week ago, I did ghusl, but I didn’t wash my private part to begin with. Will I have to repeat the ghusl?

It is necessary for the body to be tahir when doing ghusl. It is not necessary for the body to be made tahir before the ghusl has begun, and it is sufficient if the water used in ghusl itself removes the najasah and makes the area tahir.

Is there a way you can do ghusl of janabah with scarce amount of water?

Water usage can be reduced, as it is sufficient to wipe the body with water, and water does not have to be poured over the body.

Can there be a divorce in temporary marriage?

There is no divorce in temporary marriage. The husband can waive the remaining period of the contract. If he did, then she is no longer his wife.

Is it possible for a person to take a medicine that contains alcohol? Is there a limit to the content of alcohol in the medicine?

If the quantity of alcohol that causes intoxication in the medicine is considerable in such a way that the person that uses the medicine is recognized as a consumer of alcohol, then it not permissible to use the medicine as a cure, unless one needs it in order to save his life. If the quantity of alcohol was so little and conventionally considered as negligible then it is permissible to use such medicine in order to treat the illness in the cases that there is no other form of treatment.
