What will Imam Mahdi (AS) do for women when he returns? Will any particular rulings change regarding women?
Amina Inloes

I don't think we have any mention in our texts specifically about this subject.

However, in general, it is said that Imam Mahdi (A) will make some adjustments to our understanding of Islam on areas where people became confused during the course of history. Also, he will bring overall large amounts of knowledge, as well as justice.

Furthermore, the Prophet (S) was concerned about the ill-treatment of women around him.

So it seems reasonable that he will probably address this subject also, but it isn't possible to say how. (We will have to wait!)
Can one take the rulings of another Marja' if their Marja' does not have an opinion on an issue? For example, if Sayed Sistani has no opinion on cryptocurrency, is it okay to own it, or must one see the next most learned Marja'?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When your Marja' has not issued a Fatwa (verdict) on a specific matter, you can refer to the second Marja' who is next highest in the degree of knowledge according to most senior Ulama of the Hawza.

Wassalam.
