Day Questions

Is it permissible to offer the prayer of Witr in the sitting manner?

The obligatory prayers must be offered while standing with the ability and freedom of choice, and it is not obligatory to offer them while standing with a justifiable excuse. Recommended prayers like the Witr prayer can be offered in sitting position, however it is recommended to offer it in two rak'as then.

If my potential spouse and I have temporary marriage and I send her dower through courier service, would we have to wait until she receives the dower?

It is obligatory to stipulate the dower in the marriage contract, and it does not affect the marriage if she did not receive it.

I was following a Mujtahid who I believed to be worthy of being a Marja, but I later realized after some research that and he was not the most knowledgeable and his ijtihad was questionable. A trusted person told me that a particular Marja was amongst the most knowledgeable Mujtahids, and I began following him although I was not certain that He was the most knowledgeable. Is my taqleed valid?

If it has been proven to you via religious evidence that there are Marjas who are more knowledgeable than the Marja that you used to follow, you should refrain from following the latter and search for the most knowledgeable amongst those Marjas. If you could determine him by religious evidence then you should emulate him. If you could not, you must choose the most pious amongst them and if the said is not possible too, you can choose one of them and emulate him.

I want to ask if it is permissible or suitable in the gatherings of the month of Muharram to serve food items that are used also during marriage parties or other happy occasions.

Serving food in Muharram is permissible, but one should refrain from overspending to the level that it becomes prohibited. It is better to have such gatherings with sadness and grief that are appropriate for commemorating Ashura, so it may correspond to the emphasis of the Imams of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) on expressing such feeling on these days.
