Is it permissible for me, as a born Muslim, to independently delve into profound research on Islam and explore Christianity, including purchasing and reading the Bible, with the intention of understanding our differences?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need first to understand your own religion and study its principles and foundations before delving in other religions. You must study properly under an able scholar and be sure and firm about your faith, then delve in other religions. This is to protect you from misleading propaganda of others.

Does an individual, whether a child or an adult, who is born out of wedlock to non-Muslim parents, have the right to follow the Shia faith?
Amina Inloes

Yes, they can follow Shi'a Islam regardless of their parentage, ancestral religion, or age. 
In what way is the Christian Ignatian view on the discernment of spirits compatible with Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Ignatian discernment has been defined by many Christians as the weighing of facts and feelings about the several good choices which ultimately leads to a choice about what is the best fit for an individual. According to this definition, we don't object on it if the way of thinking and weighing facts is perfect. We as Muslims submit to the will of Allah and abide to it totally without any argument. This is based on the fact that Allah the Exalted  Creator Has the Absolute Knowledge, while human knowledge is always incomplete. That's why we submit to the will of Allah and our thinking and planning and practicing.

I am a revert planning to marry my non-Muslim soon-to-be husband next month. My mother is blackmailing me and I feel guilty for not fully adhering to Islam. Do I have any options in this situation?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

If you are a Muslim female, it isn't permitted to marry a non-Muslim man. Such a marriage wouldn't be valid. You should find a way to not listen to your mother if she is the one trying to force you to marry a non-Muslim. 
 

May Allah grant you success
