I see many expat ladies giving tuitions to kids or selling homemade food in a country which does not allow it for them according to law. Would that be considered Islamically permissible?
Rebecca Masterton

Regardless of whether it is permissible or not, supposing one of them was caught? What reputation would that give to the Shi'a living in that country? Why do they want the benefits of living in that country while at the same time not respecting it?
Is it true that Shia Muslims consider non-Muslims as impure? If that is the case, what about those non-Muslims such as Hindus and Sikhs who participate in Muharram congregations and give food to participants?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah, The Glorious says in Quran (9:28) : إنّما المشركون نَجَس INNAMA ALMUSHRIKOON NAJAS. Verily the polytheists are impure. This a Quranic fact which all Muslims should follow.

Those who participate in Muharram believe and love Imam Husain (AS) being a divine leader of Truth, which means that they are not really polytheists even if their families are been classified as non Muslims. Their noble act in commemorating Imam Husain (AS)'s martyrdom reflects their undeclared faith in his values.

Allah Knows what is in the hearts and the acts usually reflect what is in the heart. That is why we take the acts who love Imam Hussain (AS) as an indication of their faith in him and his faith which is Tawheed.
