Day Questions

Some Islamic Nasheeds - chants (praising the Ahlulbait) use computerized voice effects, or musical instruments. Is listening to these permissible?

If it does not involve - by nature - rapture, then it is permissible.

There are various opinions amongst the Shia about some rituals of commemorating the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) and mourning for them, and these differences become more apparent in the month of Muharram. What is your advice in this regard?

There is no doubt that we should commemorate the tragedy of Ashura and express our grief and sorrow over what happened to Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and his family and companions; and the Imams (peace be upon them) emphasized this in a well-known manner that is recorded in the books of narrations.However, differences have occurred in respect to some practices and rituals, and opinions have differed about them for some time.Our advice to all the believers is that they should refer in this issue to those Maraji who they follow and fulfill the conditions of Taqleed, and they should distance themselves from conflicting and quarrelling over it, as a believer may commit a sin as a result of such arguing. Rather, it is best at times to leave such quarrelling when there is no benefit in it. This may even cause harm and lead to animosity and hostility between believers.

When I wipe my head in wudhu, I make a parting in my hair in order for the scalp to be wiped with the wetness of the wudhu. Do I need to do this?

It is not necessary to wipe in this way. It is sufficient to wipe over the hair of the front of the head and it is not obligatory for the dampness of the wudhu to reach the scalp.

When purifying an object which has become najis due to something other than urine and under-kurr water is used, such as from a pitcher, is it sufficient to just pour water on the object once?

Yes, it is sufficient to pour that water once to make it tahir, and it is necessary to pour the water twice if it became najis with urine.
