As a Sunni who has divorced my wife multiple times and struggles with anger management, could you provide references from Ahlul Bayt or specific sayings of Imam Ali regarding three divorces or issues pertaining to actions taken in anger?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Quran is clearly against three Divorces as you read in sura Baqara, verse 229 ( The divorce is twice, after that either you retain her with goodness or release her with kindness).

All Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) regarding divorce talk about one Talaq at one time and there is no three Talaq at one time.

One of the conditions of proper Talaq is no anger at all from the husband. Anger  invalidates the Talaq. Ameerul Mo'mineen Ali (AS) said: Anger is a type of madness.

Talaq with anger is invalid and your wife is still your wife and not divorced.

Three Divorces at one time are invalid according to authentic evidence from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Is it allowed for a Sunni Muslim woman to marry a Shia Muslim man without her parents' consent if they are opposed to the marriage proposal on account of sectarian prejudice?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Wa Aleikum Assalam
Not allowed for her if her father's permission is required in their Mazhab(school of Fiqh).
What is the basis for rejecting the narrations in Sunni texts regarding placing one hand over the other during prayer? Could you provide references from Shia sources that support the practice of opening hands during prayer?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. We follow the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) taken from the most authentic and most knowledgeable source who are the Prophet’s own Progeny (Ahlul Bayt). We never accept fabricated narrations no matter what was the reason behind the fabrication.

2. There no authentic narrations that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) ever folding hands during are Salah. This fact was admitted by many leading Sunni scholars including Al-Azhar Sunni scholars in the book (Fiqh Al-Sunnah) and many other Sunni scholars.

3. No Sunni scholar could say that folding hands in Salah is obligatory. Imam Malik of the Maliki Sunni sect rejected folding hand in Salah.(Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah;514).

4. Had they have any authentic narration that the Prophet ever hooded his hands during Salah, they should have said that it is an obligatory act as all Muslims say that following the acts of the Proohet (SAWA) is obligatory.

5. Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are the most knowledgeable and the most authentic after the Prophet (SAWA) have clearly objected on folding hands during Salah and said that it is an act came from Non Muslims. Ahlul Bayt (AS) ordered Muslims not to fold hands during Salah (Al-Khisal by al-Sadouq , V.2 , P. 161). Also in Qutb Al-Isnaad 95 and Biharul Anwaar, V. 10 m P. 277.
