Can a female doctor participate in humanitarian missions? Are there any specific Islamic rulings or conditions regarding women engaging in such work? Additionally, is the consent of a father or spouse required before accepting such a mission?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Helping people in need is very much encouraged in Islam. Female doctor who help people in need in any humanitarian mission will be rewarded just like male doctor who help people in need. Hijab and abiding the Islamic rules is compulsory in every Muslim female. Father's consent is necessary if she is unmarried as well as husband's permission if she is married.

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 Muslims hire a private investigator to secretly investigate personal matters, like infidelity in a marriage?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Secretly investigating personal matters has different types, not all of them are permissible. It is not permissible in Islam to spy on others even on matters which you don't like or don't accept unless it is a criminal matter which victimises others. Husband and wife are not allowed to spy on one another unless there a reasonable possibility of a criminal or Haraam act which can be stopped or prevented by such investigation.
