Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

In the sunnah of Islam, mourning of a deceased is for three days only. The only exclusive exemption is Imam Husain (a.s.), and the important event of 'Arbaeen. 

Yes, there are cultural practices, for Fatiha ceremonies, like the 7th day, 40th day, and one year passing of the deceased, but these are just customary traditions. 

And Allah knows best.

We pray as the holy Prophet (s.a.w.) prayed, and he did not fold his arms during his prayer. This is something even Sunni scholars acknowledge. Sunni Malikis also do not fold their arms in salat.

Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) were the closest to the Prophet (s.a.w.), and in the Ja'fari jurisprudence, hands must be to the side, as did the Prophet (s.a.w.). 

For this reason, it is haram to legislate anything not a part of the shari'ah, which means that folding of arms would be haram and the prayer would be invalid. 

This is the common view of Shi'i jurists.

This would depend on:

1. What type of ghusl it is.

2. The fatwa of your Marja' taqleed.

So, please refer to your Marja' taqleed.

The criteria is similar for every baligh mukallaf male or female.

If they have the financial capability, which means they have enough money to travel, and there are no legitimate obstacles preventing them, then it would be wajib upon her.

It can be worn for wudhu`, as long as it does not get wet, but it cannot be worn for salat.

Please read our previous answers to similar questions, and this clip as well would be in shaa Allah useful as well:

Assuming you are 18+, and if you do a mut'ah contract with a duration of 99 years, it would mean you've lived over 120 years, and if both of you are still verbal and cognizant, once the duration of contract finishes, it you become non-mahram to each other again.

You will need to do another mut'ah contract should you wish to stay together, or nullify it, if still within duration. 

The way you nullify it is for male to say to the female "I free you for the remaining period".

Yes, it would be permissible.

In this case, ghusl janabah would only become wajib if she reached climax, and has nothing to do with releasing bodily fluids.

There is no shar'i prohibition from using a mobile phone in the toilet. It is makruh to talk while relieving oneself, and definitely not healthy to prolong toilet use. 

And Allah knows best.
