Day Questions

What do you have to say about “Nadi Ali” that involves calling on Imam Ali (peace be upon him)?

The said is not a supplication to Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in the place of supplicating to Almighty Allah. Rather, it is seeking intercession from Imam Ali (peace be upon him) with the permission of Allah. Therefore, it is permissible; rather, it shows the recognition of the Godly power, as well as an expression of the belief in the Wilayah of the Imam and his high position to Almighty Allah.

Is it permissible to brush my teeth with water and toothpaste if I am fasting?

It is permissible, provided the water and/or toothpaste does not pass the throat.

I've heard that if one's wudhu breaks during the third rak'at of Asr for instance, then one can continue his prayer, is this true?

If you are sure that you have passed wind during any part of the prayer, the prayer is invalidated as is the wudhu.

Do we need a scholar in order to perform the temporary marriage contract?

The contract can be done by yourselves, but it is better to seek the help of a religious cleric.
