What is the religious and ethical viewpoint on attending a wedding held by a Sunni friend during the month of Muharram?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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).

Is making fun of a believer, even as a joke without causing hurt or humiliation, considered Haram?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Hurting the feeling of a believer is a major sin even if we did not want to hurt his feeling but as far as we know that he does not like us talking in that way, makes our talk forbidden.

If someone does a great transgression on you and then compensates you, does Allah still judge between you and them, or are they cleared?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If they compensate you and give you your full right, and seek forgiveness, and you really forgave them, then Allah is The Most Merciful and The Forgiver.

‘If they gave you less than your right and you still feel been wronged by them, then they will remain responsible in front of Allah (SWT).

It is good for us to forgive our brothers and sisters who did wrong to us, then compensate us which means that they are seeking clearing their responsibility from that wrong. We always need the clearance and forgiveness of our own sins, and one of the ways to get that is to forgive others especially the believers.

What does Islam say about gender inequality and gender discrimination of men and women?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no question of gender in-equality nor discrimination in Islam if people understand Islamic rules properly. Allah, The Creator Has Created both man and woman and granted both of them the honor (We have honored the children of Adam (Human beings)(Sura 17, Verse 70).

There are common things among both genders like equal human values and honor, equal rights to life , safety, dignity, ownership, education, etc. Yet, there are gender different functions and responsibilities on man and woman, These different functions initiated its own rules to organize life accordingly. Those different rules are less than 5% of the common rules for both genders.

Injustice on any human being being a man or woman is a sinful act.

Both man and woman will get reward for any good act and both will go to the same Paradise, while sinners men and women will face the result of their sins equally.
