Day Questions

Is it wrong to desire to have a prostration mark? Or is it seen as Riya?

Simply desire to have it is not considered as insincerity, Riya, since Riya is when the action is with the intention of showing others. Having the prostration mark may or may not happen, so our advice is to ignore this issue and not focus on it.

Is it permissible for a Shia lady to marry a Muslim non-Shia man?

It is prohibited for a Shia lady to marry a follower of a misguided sect if there is fear for the lady's faith arising from such a marriage. It is permissible but disliked if the mentioned fear does not exist. It is prohibited based on compulsory precaution for a Shia girl to marry a Nasibi, whether the fear for the woman’s religion exists or not.
