Is the Imam of our time infallible, or can one of us make mistakes and then Allah grants infallibility to the Imam overnight?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Imam of our time is Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) who is the twelfth and last of the Twelve Imams from Ahlul Bayt (AS) wig are the real successors of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). As all the prophets are Infallible, all the Twelve Imams are Infallible. This infallibility never came overnight but it is with them since the beginning of their lives till the end. You can not compare us with any Infallible Imam. Allah (SWT) Selected and Appointed the Infallible Imams and no one from the whole Umma can be compared with them.

Can I use synthetic hair extensions as an African while performing Wudhu and Ghusl? Please provide sources for your response.
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The hair extension should not cover any part of your skin otherwise it will prevent water from reaching to that part then your Wudhu will be invalid if water does not reach to all parts of Wudhu, and Ghusl will be invalid if water does not reach to every part of your head, face and body.

What is the recommended amount of water for performing Wudu? I often question the validity of my Wudu and end up repeating it several times, which harms my hair and skin. How can I ensure I am doing it correctly without causing damage?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Hadeeth narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) states: الوضوء بِمُدٍّ والغُسلُ بِصاع) Wudhu is with one Mudd (750 ml of water) and Ghusl is with one Saa' (3litres of water. Wasting water in Wudhu is not good and some Ulama said that it is Haraam.

If you repeat your Wudhu because repeated doubt, you must refrain from that and ignore the repeated doubts.
