28	28	Superstitions and other impediments I have some questions about what Shias do in mourning for Imam Husain and the rest of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). I read the sayings of Allamah Khorasani about this matter, but I did not find the answers in them. The questions are as follows: 1. Is Ziyarat Ashura authentic? Is it permissible to attribute it to the Ahl al-Bayt? Some people believe that it is a Divine Hadith. 2. What is the ruling on tatbir (i.e., self-striking by dagger)? Some of their scholars believe that it is permissible. 3. Some Shias cover their bodies with mud in mourning gatherings. Is it permissible? 4. What is the ruling on walking in mourning processions? It is very common in Iran. 5. They say that it is obligatory to recite epic poems about Imam Husain (peace be upon him) and make noise and commotion on the day of Ashura to oppose the actions of the Umayyads. How true is this statement? 6. Allamah Mansoor believes that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) is alive at present. Does he participate in mourning gatherings, as many Shia scholars claim?	2015-10-19
27	27	Characteristics of the last Prophet Shias believe the Prophet and the Imams from his Ahl al-Bayt knew the unseen. Is this belief correct? When I know that Allah’s Caliph on the earth knows the unseen, how can I do righteous deeds and leave evil deeds by my free will? In this case, there would be no room for self-development. Thank you for the explanation.	2015-09-14
26	26	Narrations from the Caliphs of Allah (ahad and mutawatir) People who are called “Quranists” believe that proof is the Quran alone and it is not permissible to deduce the beliefs and rulings of Sharia from the Prophet’s Sunnah; because it is not proof. They have many misconceptions in this regard. What is Allamah Mansoor’s opinion on this belief?	2015-09-03
25	25	Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), du‘a (supplication), tawakkul (reliance on Allah), and tawassul (seeking means to draw near to Allah) What is the opinion of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on tawassul? Is it permissible to use the dead to practice tawassul? Is it permissible to use Imam al-Mahdi, may Allah let us be sacrificed for him, to practice tawassul based on the belief that he is alive? What is the correct tawassul that this great scholar orders?	2015-09-02
24	24	Imitation In the subject of imitation, how can we answer the 122nd verse of Surah At-Tawbah? Thank you very much.	2015-08-17

22	22	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi What is the extent of the relation between Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) and Islamic sects?	2015-07-18
21	21	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi Allamah Mansoor believes that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) is alive at present, which has raised some questions for me: First question: Does Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) age and undergo physical changes, or does he always remain young by the power of Allah Almighty? Second question: Is Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) married and does he have children or not? Third question: A Shia scholar in Iran said that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) married an Iranian girl in Tehran. What is your opinion on his statement?	2015-07-17
20	20	Imitation During the time of the Prophet and his Caliphs, many people lived in distant lands and were not able to reach them to learn their religion and ask them about its beliefs and rulings. For this reason, the Prophet and his Caliphs appointed some men as their representatives in those lands so that the people who lived there would go to them and take their religion from them. The question is, were these representatives infallible? Was it not possible for them to make mistakes in teaching people and answering their questions? Then how did people not go astray in their religion?	2015-05-16

Where should I go? Should I go to Afghanistan or Tajikistan? What should I bring with me? Do you have a place where I can stay? Can I bring my wife and children? Considering that they all agree with me, praise be to Allah, and they are servants of His Eminence Mansoor. I want to be one of those who accompany the supreme commander of Khorasan to help the Mahdi. Please help me.	2015-04-01

14	14	Existence, attributes, and actions of the Mahdi Twelver Shias believe that the Mahdi is alive and has experienced two occultations: the minor occultation and the major occultation. During the minor occultation, he was in contact with his followers through four special deputies. After the death of the fourth deputy, Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samuri (al-Saimuri), the major occultation began. This is understood from a letter to him. The Mahdi said in it: “O Ali ibn Muhammad al-Samuri! May Allah grant a great reward to your brothers in mourning your loss. You will depart from this world in six days. Set your affairs in order and do not appoint anyone as your successor, for the complete occultation has arrived. There will be no advent except by the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. And that will occur after a long period and the hardening of hearts and the filling of Earth with oppression. Some will come to my followers claiming the seeing. Be aware that whoever claims the seeing before Sufyani’s emergence and the heavenly call is a liar and a fabricator. And there is no might and no power except by Allah the Most High, the Great.” (Al-Ghaybah by al-Shaikh al-Tusi, p. 395) What is the opinion of Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on this matter?	2015-02-10

Is he alive or present in this time? How will Imam Mahdi kill dajjal?

12	12	Mansoor and his movement to prepare the ground for the advent of the Mahdi We want to know His Eminence Mansoor’s opinion about this Hadith: Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (peace be upon him) has said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: “A man rises from Transoxiana, called ‘Harith ibn Harrath.’ At the forefront of his army is a man called ‘Mansoor,’ and he prepares the ground for the rule of the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family), just as the Quraysh prepared the ground for the rule of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). It is obligatory for every believer to help him.” We also want to know His Eminence’s opinion about this Hadith: A conjunction of Mars and Saturn occurs once every two years. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has considered the movement of the forces of Khorasani and Shu‘ayb ibn Salih from Samarqand toward Iraq to be after the complete conjunction of these two planets in the year before the rise of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him); as he has said: Be aware, after a while, you will have a short time during which you will understand some of my words, and their correctness will be revealed to you, at the rise of Mars and Saturn with their precise conjunction(1). At this time, successive vibrations and earthquakes will happen, and some flags head from the banks of the Jayhon toward the desert of Babylon.	2015-02-04
