Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The fact of the infallibility of Ameerul Mo'mineen and other 11 Imams was known to the believers during the lives of the Infallible, and nothing emerged later in hindsight.

Wassalam.

The Prophet (SAWA) and all the prophets (AS) never miss any prayer. 

There are narrations from Israelites which claim wrong things against some prophets. Such narrations are rejected and have no value.

Wassalam.

During the government of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Ameerul Mo'mineen (AS), they did not convert any church into Mosque. It is left to the people of the area whether they want to remain Christians, so, church will remain as a church for them, but if they opt to be Muslims willingly and want to use the place as a Mosque, they are free to do that.

Islam does not confiscate the religious places of other communities.

Yes, it is permissible to buy Quran with translation but you need to be sure about the accuracy of the translations as many translations available online and in book shops are wrong and misleading. Tajweed books and materials are always permissible.

Wassalam.

Muslim is allowed to receive legal cash assistance and social services if he is entitled to it as a citizen in non Muslim countries from non Muslim governments. Muslim is required also to serve his country and society in every possible way as Islam teaches serving people especially your neighbors.

According to Quranic Verse 5:51, Muslim is not allowed to be a blind follower or blind servant for non Muslims who aim to weaken Islam and Muslims and oppress them.

Wassalam.

You should try your best not to embarrass your parents and try to be more kind to them as you are a Muslim, more than before.

You can wear that bracelet in front of them but not in public as it might give a wrong message to others. 

Wassalam.

Our Shia faith in Quran is: Quran is absolutely intact and saved by Allah The Glorious from any change, distortion or alteration. Narrations which suggest change or distortion in Quran are mainly in Sunni books including narrations from Umar Ibn Al-Khattab who claimed that Sura Al-Ahzab used to be as long as Sura al-Baqara.  (al-Soyooto, Al-Dorr al-Manthour 3:208) and Ayisha who claimed that a Sura was eaten by a pet (Sunan Ibn Maajah 1:625).

Few narrations in this regard came from Sunni books to some of our Shia books but our leading scholars were and are always very clear in rejecting any claim against the fact that Quran is intact. Some narrations in our books might mean that people distorted the meaning (Tafseer) of some verses away from the real meaning explained by the Prophet (SAWA) and his Ahlul Bayt (AS) which is a sad fact, but it never means that Quranic text was distorted by any way.

Leading Shia scholars al-Shaikh Al-Saqouq (381 H), al- Shaikh al-Mofeed (413 H),  al-Sayyed al-Mortadha (436H), al-Shaikh al-Toosi (460 H),  al-Shaikh al-Tabrasi (548H), al-Shaikh al-Bahaa'ee, al-Faydh al-Kashaani, al-Shaikh Kashif al-Ghitaa', al-Sayyed Sharaf al-Deen, Allamah Tabataba'ee, al-Sayyed al-Kho'ee, al-Sayed al-Khomaini, al-Sayyed al-Gulpaygani, al-Sayyed al-Borojordi, al-Shaykh al-Saafi, al-Sayyed al-Sistani, al-Sayyed al-Hakeem and all our leading scholars are very clear in confirming the fact that Quran is absolutely intact from any change or distortion.

Mahr is the right of the wife due on the husband for her whether they are living together or divorced. No doubt, Muslim man is responsible to give the full Mahr to his wife when ever she asks. This matter has nothing to do with divorce as it is a separate duty on the husband who believes in Allah (SWT). Not giving the Mahr to the wife is a major sin which leads to hellfire.

Wassalam.

Majority of the Shia Muslims today follow in Taqleed, Ayatullah al-Udhma Sayyed Ali al-Husaini al- Sistani. This is because of the fact that majority of Shia scholars in the Hawza of Najaf Ashraf, Qum, Mashhad and other places, believe that Ayatullah Sistani is the most knowledgeable among Shia high caliber scholars (Mujtahids). No doubt, there are other Maraaji' in Iran and Iraq who have lot of followers in Taqleed, but Ayatullah Sistani is the most followed Marja' in this time. May Allah protect him and prolong his life, and all the Maraaji'.

Wassalam.

Mut'ah marriage is a type of marriage. Permanent marriage is used by some people to gain money and it remains valid marriage. Mut'ah marriage is no difference, can be for gaining financial benefits. The main thing is to follow all the conditions of it which will ensure that it is a marriage protecting both man and woman from falling in sinful sexual acts.

Practically speaking, marriage can not be a continuous business even if it had financial factors in its initiatives.

Wassalam.

No, you do not have the right to kill him if there is no danger to your life from him. You have the right to protect your life, family and wealth with out killing him.

Wassalam.

This narration is not authentic because some of the narrators like (Mohammad Ibn Ziyad Ibn Easa) is unknown, hence the narration is not authentic at all.

Wassalam.
