59	Introductions; Certainty and conjecture; Necessity of certainty and insufficiency of conjecture What is the opinion of Allamah Khorasani about Comparison? Furthermore, what is his opinion about Istihsan[1]?	Ali Razi	01/11/2015
58	Beliefs; Cognition about God’s Caliph on earth; About Mansoor and his preparation of the grounds for advent of Mahdi Some more of my friends’ questions are proffered: 1. Allamah Khorasani in page 315 of the book “Return to Islam” has said: “And if ever I have capability on the earth, I will punish them [the militant and corrupt rulers] for their deeds; since removing them from the path of Mahdi, is obligatory for every Muslim who is capable of doing that.” Now the question is does he have permission from his Excellency Mahdi to do this or he acts upon his own certain viewpoint and Ijtihad[1]? Is the meaning of “capability” establishment of sovereignty? In this case, what is the difference between this sovereignty and other Islamic sovereignties? 2. In one of the sayings, he has likened himself to his Excellency Muslim ibn Aqil. His Excellency Muslim had permission from the Imam of his time. Does he have permission from Imam Mahdi? Some scholars like Imam Khomeini also considered their revolutionary movement derived from Imam Hussain’s revolt, however they did not claim they have permission from Imam Mahdi, and they were acting upon their own viewpoint and Ijtihad, which of course based on Allamah’s opinion, viewpoint and Ijtihad solely do not provide certainty. 3. Just as Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) is promised, the inviters and preparers of the grounds of his advent must also be promised based on the order of common sense; because the intellect orders that the Messenger of God and other Imams of Ahl al-Bayt give good tidings of them and lead the people toward them. Now, how is that Allamah Khorasani insists us just to rely on certain items of the book “Return to Islam” and do not rely on items that are referred to the promised Khorasani in valid narrations? In this case, then how can we achieve complete certitude? In general, the narrations that have been quoted from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) and the Amir al-Mu’minīn and other Imams of Ahl al-Bayt, have explicitly mentioned the following items to identify one of the special representatives of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him): - The owner of black flags - Being Khorasani - Being Hasani or Hussaini - A handsome young man - Has a mole on his left palm - Foremost of his army is Shu’ayb ibn Sālih Tamimi - Taliqan’s treasures accept him - Fights with the Umayyad of the end time (Sufyani) and defeats him - Imam Mahdi is hidden in his army and guides him and … All these items show that the Messenger of God and the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt have felt necessary to mention some sings to identify him, just as Salmān al-Fārsi who matched the signs that he had taken from holy books with the Messenger of God when he entered Medina and he achieved complete certitude and believed in his Excellency. Please explain more about this matter.	Ali Razi	01/11/2015
57	Beliefs; Cognition about God’s Caliph on earth; About Mahdi and preparing the grounds for his advent Do you think we can be hopeful about the advent of Imam Mahdi, whereas the people have been badly affected by misunderstanding on one hand and on the other hand, the scholars and leaders of the society who are the religious models of the people, are such that there is so much fear from them to even say this obvious fact that if Imam Mahdi is supported by the leaders of the Islamic society and the Muslim people, and if his life is protected and if he has armies and soldiers, he will definitely reappear, not just by praying for his advent!! Is it possible to be hopeful about Imam Mahdi’s advent in such circumstances? And what should be done? Thank you so much for all the sufferings and efforts you go through in this loneliness and helplessness condition and you are innocently fighting against ignorance and unawareness. May you be under God’s protection and may you be successful.	Zohreh. M	28/10/2015
56	Introductions; Knowledge and ignorance; Impediments to gaining knowledge (Imitation, Prejudice, Arrogance, Superstition, etc.) With greetings and respect to his most honorable Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani may God protect him, please explain if it is permissible to imitate scholars in case of knowing their reasons?	Hamed Moqaddam	26/10/2015
55	Laws; Laws of Hijab, marriage and sexual relationships What is the law of chairwomanship and management of women? Should one disobey a chairwoman or manageress? Is it OK to shake hands with female colleagues because of observing the customary and social laws and rules (not because of pleasure)?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
54	Laws; Laws of prayer (Salah) Does saying the phrase «أشهد أنّ علیّاً ولیّ الله» in the Azan abrogates it? Shi’a scholars do not consider it as a part of Azan, but do not forbid saying it either (by reasoning based on verse 55 of Surah Al-Ma’eidah). Is Mr. Khorasani’s opinion the same?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
53	Beliefs; Cognition about hereafter; About Raj’at, Holoul and reincarnation The Shi’a believe in the Raj’at of some God’s friends and truthful and martyrs after the advent of His Excellency Mahdi peace be upon him. What is his honor’s opinion about this?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
52	Beliefs; Cognition about God; God’s characteristics and His deeds The Shi’a Muslims believe that Justice and Leadership are the principles of religion in addition to Monotheism, Prophethood, and Resurrection. What is his opinion in this regard?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
51	Laws; Laws of forbidden businesses and occupations What is the law of drawing and installing the picture of the Messenger of God peace be upon him and his household and the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015

49	Laws; Laws of forbidden businesses and occupations What is his honor’s opinion about the religious law of chess game?	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
48	Beliefs; Cognition about book of God; Authority of Quran and its virtues Is numeric miracle of Quran true? Some scholars confirm it by referring to the last verse of Al-Jinn Surah and 59th verse of Al-An’am Surah and other verses and narrations. For example, some of the Shiite, provide some examples from the Quran for this reason to prove the principles of belief, such as the fact that the number of verses in which the words Imam or A’emmeh are presented are 12, which is equal to the number of Imams and the Prophet’s caliphs, and this is a miracle of Quran and also other examples.	Ali Razi	21/10/2015
47	Laws; Laws of vowing and swearing and their atonement What is the law of vowing to give Nazr[1] for Imam Hussain peace be upon him and the rest of Ahl al-Bayt peace be upon them in Muharram and Safar days and other days of the year?	Ali Razi	18/10/2015
46	Beliefs; Cognition about God’s Caliph on earth; About the companions and wives of the last prophet Sallalah Alaihi wa ’Alihi wa Sallam and their respect mandate If damning the murderers and enemies of Ahl al-Bayt peace be upon him causes incidence of disagreement with Sunni brothers, then what is the Islamic law in this regard? In Ziyara Ashura[1] some of them are explicitly named. Many of Sunnis respect Yazid[2] as a caliph! Some Sunni scholars like Imam Muhammad Ghazali even believe that damning Yazid and his army is wrong and believe that God might forgive them!!!	Ali Razi	18/10/2015
45	Laws; Laws of forbidden businesses and occupations I have some questions about mourning for Ahl al-Bayt of God’s Messenger peace be upon him and his household which I did not find their answers in the sayings of Allamah Khorasani: 1- Is reading the Ziyara Ashura[1] correct or not? Is it true that its authenticity is verified to be arrived from the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt? Some consider it as a Qudsi narration[2]. 2- What is the verdict of Islam on self-hitting by dagger? (A small number of Shiite scholars allow it!) 3- What is the verdict of Islam on daubing loam on the head and face? 4- What is the verdict of Islam on group-walking in the form of mourning? (It is very common in Iran.) 5- It has been said that epic poems should be composed for Imam Hussain peace be upon him and public outburst should happen in the Day of Ashura in order to counteract the actions of the Umayyad, what are the examples of these actions? (Allamah Khorasani have also confirmed poetry.) 6- Does Imam Mahdi peace be upon him also attend the formal mourning ceremonies? (According to many scholars’ words)	Ali Razi	18/10/2015
