Day Questions

When I go to study in Najaf, then what do I have to study to become a Mujtahid?

Ijtihad is not a goal that a student should have from the beginning. A believer should aim to fulfill the religious responsibilities of upholding the orders of the Sharia; one of them is learning the Islamic laws and teaching them. This could be achieved by learning more about the religion – and not necessarily reaching the level of Ijtihad – by which a believer could serve the Right Path. One could serve the religion and be a role model amongst his society, family and friends by being obedient to the Islamic laws and by spreading the religious teachings in the areas where he resides. Ijtihad is a talent that can be achieved by studying with the guidance of Almighty Allah. A religious student should study hard and make use of his time as much as possible. If he achieves this, then he can thank Almighty Allah for this bounty. If he does not, he can still serve the religion.

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.

Can one perform Umrah on behalf of more than one living person?

It is permissible to perform a recommended Umrah on behalf of more than one person, whether they are alive or not.

Should the woman perform ghusl after having a wet dream? Is the substance released considered najis like semen?

If the female releases a liquid when she reaches the peak of sexual arousal, i.e. the orgasm, then based on an obligatory precaution she is considered to be in the state of janaba, even if this takes place while she is asleep. The obligatory precaution in this case means that she should perform both the ghusl and wudhu before offering prayers and she should consider the liquid to be najis and purify her clothes and body if they came in contact with it.
