Is it considered nifaq (hypocrisy) if I repent then commit the sin then repent again , although each time I repent I dont want to repeat it but I am in process of leaving it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you really repent and decide not to do it again, then you feel weak and commit the sin again, it does not mean Nifaaq (hypocrisy).

You need to strengthen your will power and your remembering and fearing Good, to be able to avoid the sin.

According to the teachings of Ahlul Bayt, is it permissible to keep certain types of food or any item in storage for a long period of time, with the intention of waiting for its value to increase before selling it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Monopoly of food required by people is not allowed in Islam. If the items of food are not required in people daily life and keeping it in storage does not harm general public, then can be permissible but if keeping it is storage harms people in anyway, then it is not allowed at all.

If a person touches an object and does not know that it is Najis, and later finds out that it was Najis at the time of touching, what is the ruling on their hand and on the other things they touched before they gained this knowledge?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If he is sure that he touched the item which was in fact Najis, with a wet hand or the item was wet, then his hand became Najis even if he was unaware that it was Najis when he touched it. If he is not sure that his hand was wet or the item was wet when was touched by him, then his hand is Najis. Same also is the rule for other items touched by him later on whether he was sure that his hand was wet or the item itself was wet when it was touched by his Najis hand.

Is it permissible to glance at something else during prayer, like checking the time, without moving my head? I wanted to confirm which Rakat I was on. Does this invalidate my prayer, or is it still considered valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The prayer will not be invalid but it is always better to keep our intention concentrated in our Prayers during performing Salah.

Wassalam.
