I am the only Shiah male in my Sunni family. In the event of my death, will their act of Ghusl and Kafan for me be considered correct and sufficient?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, the Ghusl and Kafan of any Muslim is considered as sufficient.

Wassalam.
Is it forbidden to pray for your own father's death in a situation where he is an alcoholic who is angry all the time and physically assaults his immediate family?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is very wrong to pray for your own father's death even if he is a very bad person. The supplication against parents  can have very bad effect on you.

You must treat him nicely and pray for his Hidayah ( guidance). and forgiveness.

Wassalam.
Is there any truth to the claim that Hazrat Ali (AS) mistakenly burned an apostate to death rather than follow the correct way prescribed by God?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. A solitary report that contradicts the infallibility of the Imam (as) would not be accepted.

May you always be successful.
My severely depressed friend has asked me to pray for their natural death as suicide is not allowed in Islam. How should I respond to them?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi
  1. Pray for your friend to be away from the influence of Shaitan. Shaitan tries to make some weak people lose hope in the Greatest Mercy of Allah.
  2. Ask you friend : Which is bigger; Your sufferings or The Mercy of Allah? There is no doubt that the Mercy of Allah is bigger. So, why don’t you hope and pray to Allah to cover your sufferings by His Greatest Mercy?
  3. Remind your friend about the bounties of Allah on him despite his problems. Thanking Allah for His bounties and Grace will bring more bounties and more Mercy.    Wassalam.
