Physical possession is must in selling according to Shariah. Forex Spot and CFD trading do not have possession so it is not a proper selling and buying according to Shariah, but it looks like commitment to buy or sell based on studying the market. Such commitment is permissible despite it is not a sale transaction in Shariah, nor gambling but just commitment to buy or sell under certain conditions after studying the market's movement.

Simply because the tyrant governments which followed the Saqeefa have supported their own sects and opposed the Fiqh of Ahlul Bayt (AS). They admit that their four leaders named in your question came long after Ahlul Bayt (AS) and were never more knowledgeable than Ahlul Bayt (AS). Abu Hanifa of the Hanafi sect was reported to claim that he studied under imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) for two years and was nothing if those two years were not there لولا السنتان لهلك النعمان.

Fiqh of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) is the exact Fiqh of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) while the Fiqh of others are based in their own opinions and different understandings. Yet, many tyrant governments don’t consider Fiqh of Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) just because of their political stand against Ahlul Bayt (AS) which they took it from their previous leaders of Saqeefa.

Lovers of Ahlul Bayt (AS) share Ahlul Bayt (AS) the noble feelings of mourning on the tragedies of Karbala and don’t take part in any function of happiness or celebration during the days of Muharram. Let your Sunni or non Muslim friend know why we mourn on these days and I advise you to refrain from attending wedding ceremony during these days. Respecting our beloved Imams of Ahlul Bayt (AS) is much more important than pleasing people.

I don’t say that attending weddings during Muharram is Haraam as it depends on your intention and impact on others as far as there is no disrespect to  our noble values, but i can say that it can be harmful to our spirituality and our noble feelings being persons hoping to be servants of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Consensus (Ijmaa’إجماع) means when all the scholars agree on a matter, it means that Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) is approving their consensus, otherwise he should have informed any scholars otherwise. Consensus is an evidence because it reflects the approval of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) on this matter of consensus.

Thank you for your question. Jurisprudence according to the school of Ahl al-Bayt is sometimes referred to as Ja'fari fiqh due to its basis primarily in the copious traditions narrated from Imams al-Baqir and al-Sadiq. While Imam al-Sadiq (as) did not write any books, he expounded jurisprudence in many reports that are narrated from him in mos matters of jurisprudence.

May you always be successful

The reply depends on what you mean by adoption. If you mean looking after and bringing up a child, then it is great deed of reward. The Hadeeth says: Best of the homes is a home where an orphan lives with honor. Also it is narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA): I and orphan sponsor are in the Paradise together.

But if you mean to look after the child and deprive him from the name of his real father , mother and original family, then it is unlawful in Islam to deprive the child from the name of his father, mother and original family.

Allah says in Quran (Call them by their fathers' name)(ادعوهم لابائهم)Al-Ahzaab,5.

Also it is not allowed to deprive the child from his real mother (إن أمهاتهم إلا اللائي ولدنهم  )(Their mothers really are who gave birth to them) Al-Mujadalah ;2.

Claiming the adopted child as a real son or daughter is forbidden in Quran (وما جعل أدعياءكم أبناءكم ذلك قولكم بأفواهكم  ) (Allah did not make your sponsored/ adopted/ fostered children as your children, that is what you say in your mouths).

So, it is very good to adopt a needy child with keeping his father's, mother's and family name with him always.
