Ask A Question About Islam And Muslims

Islamic rules can never be irrelevant in any time or place. Islamic rules apply every where and every time according to its conditions  and the circumstances. Polygamy has its own conditions for those who need it. Western monogamy is just a claim when their own studies confirm that most of them have illegitimate affairs during marriage while Islam is frank and clear in dealing with matters by organizing a system to protect people from sinful sexual behaviour.

This is a false allegation on Al-Majlisi fabricated by our enemies who always try to put false allegations on us. Tahreef claims and narrations are in Sunni books from Ayesha who claimed that many verses were lost because it was eaten by an animal (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 6: 269 and Sunan Ibn Maajah 1: 625)

, and narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab who claimed that Sura Al-Azhaab was as long as Sura Al-Baqarah.(Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 5:132 and Al-Mustadrak Alal- Saheehayn  by Al-Haakim al-Nisabori 4:359).
Tahreef claim is refuted in our main books written by our leading Shia Ulama like Shaikh Al-Sadouq, Shaikh Al-Mufeed, Allama Al-Hilli, Shaikh Al-Tousi, Al-Shareef Al-Murtadha, Al-Shaikh Al-Tabarsi, Al-Shaikh Al-Bahaare, Al-Shaikh Kashif Al-Ghitaa', Al-Sayyed Sharaf Al Deen, Sayyed Al-Khoei and other great Shia Ulama. Al-Majlisi never said that Tahreef took place in Quran but he said that some people diverted the meanings of some verse from its real meanings. If fact Shaikh Majlisi stated clearly that Quran can never be distorted as Allah Has preserved Quran from adding on it or omitting from it or changing any word of it or any Tahreef. ( Bihar Al- Anwar, volume 9, page 113).

It is deeply unlikely that Ibn Saba was a real person. There are strong arguments against his existence, and the reports on him are weak and via a questionable reporter. 

It seems that these reports may have spread, despite their weakness, because they present a nice and cozy picture of early Islam, in which everyone is getting along and there is a convenient explanation for disagreement in the community by attributing it to a plot. This is desirable to those who want to see all the sahabah as perfect. However, in reality, there was a lot of fighting and disagreement during the first three caliphates, and afterwards, and the real picture is not nearly as comfortable.

The Shi'ite Encyclopedia (which is available on al-islam.org) has a very comprehensive discussion of the sources of these reports and their reliability and other factors.

Among Shi'i sources, Rijal al-Kashshi lists him as a person but rejects him. Anyway, this seems to be responding to the narrative that was popularized. As for the single mention of his name in al-Khisal in a dialogue, there is insufficient context to say anything meaningful about it, except that, were he taken as a real narrator, he would have been rejected, but most Shi'i scholars hold that he didn't exist. 

These are few names of prominent scholars who gave verdicts regarding trading in cryptocurrencies : Ayatullah Shaikh Eshaq Al-Fayyqdh, Late Ayatullah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’eed Al-Hakeem, Ayatullah Sayyed Moosa Shubayri Zanjani (If it does not harm others nor contradict with the rules of the country).
