Q22: What are the rulings regarding advertisements placed on the person’s page whether he accepted them in return for certain financial compensation or because the host of the person’s page obligated him/her to do that. What is the ruling regarding these advertisements? Is it mandatory for the person to refuse them, especially when some of them advertise the pornography, wine, gambling, music and other kinds of forbiddances like disgraceful pictures? What is the ruling regarding this acceptance? And what is its religious standard??

Answer:

Watching the advertisement is not prohibited by itself whatever kind it was unless it is prohibited because of another reason like encouraging or promoting untruth. This is similar to some of the previous answers. If it was prohibited then collecting money as compensation for it is prohibited too.

Yes, they have the same ruling as the misguiding books, what is prohibited is misguiding - in any form it was - without any specialization regarding the book.

Q24: If a student of religious sciences is not able to travel in order to continue his knowledge seeking or teaching etc, for reasons that are beyond his/her control but he/she can learn or teach through the internet. Does he/she deserve to collect the religious funds (5) similar to the students who attends the school by himself/herself?

Answer:

This is not a general religious ruling that we can explain. It is a special ruling that belongs to the opinion of the jurist or whoever represents him in managing the funds. We cannot standardize that.

Q25: If the student of religious studies spent part of his/her time teaching or learning to prepare programs to be used on the computer and he/she produced them to make the scientific researches accessible to the student in the religious studies, makes the subjects easily accessed and helping students in writing research on scientific subject in response to the fallacies. Does this effect his/her entitlement to receive the wages given to the religious students in return for his/her efforts in this way?

The answer to this question is the same as the last one

Q26: If the person launched a page on the internet especially to solve the problems faced by students of the religious studies, propagate their activities, make relations between each other in various subjects, allowing them to have dialogue and similar services, does he/she need a special religious permission from the religious judge (4)?What is the religious standard regarding this action?

Answer:

There is no need for permission from the religious judge in this case, since it is a recommended action by itself, unless this would lead to special obstacles, like when some dialogist use this opportunity to vivificate whoever does not deserve to be vivificated, exaggerate on problems in such a way that leads to the discouraging of others from serving the religion etc.

It is required to take extra care when making relations with those kinds of people and have good control, in case these concerns and similar ones are actualized.

Q27: Is it allowed to say that the propagation of scandals - we seek the refuge from Allah – against scholars between believers is considered an opinion. Everybody is entitled to curse and publish whatever is related to scandals or weakness. He says: “if anybody wants to answer me then I don’t mind and you can curse and divulge and I can do the same” referring to doing that against scholars, is this allowed between believers? What is the ruling regarding exchanges of cursing and scandals by believers against scholars, happening with the awareness of non-followers of the Ahlulbayte (peace be upon them) or without the awareness. What is the ruling with regards to these public actions between believers on the internet?

Is the person allowed to listen to or read the opinions of some believers who think that they are allowed to do that in what the person considers a deficiency in those scholars and similar issues? When one party mentions a scholar’s name, the other party starts to curse or scandalize and vice versa so what is the ruling regarding that and its acceptance?

Answer:

It is not permissible to unmask a regular concealed person in regards to whatever they have, further to whatever they don’t have. So why would unmask scholars be allowed, especially if it was based on rumors and false statements?

Yes, it is allowed to unmask the people with novelties in religion and callers for aberration to alienate people from following them and to feel safe from their evil.As for listening to or reading the narrations of whoever is committing prohibited unmasking, it is forbidden if it was based on their knowledge in such a way that would fulfill their aim. The same can be said about dialoguing with them. It is mandatory to avoid them in order to deny them.

If listening to them is based on notification only, without announcing listening or dialoguing with them or it is for the sake of answering them or judging the speaker to know the level of crime that he/she is doing, then it is allowed in all the mentioned cases. When increasing the number of listeners would be an encouragement to the speaker and propagation to his/her narrations then it becomes forbidden.

Q28: If the person was a manager of a chat site or an observer on the internet, what is his ruling with regards to what is happening on in these sites? Things such as weakening the sect of Ahlulbayte or cursing from enemies of the right sect of the religion, the sect, our kind scholars or the followers of the Ahlulbayte by cursing and announcing what is called the scholars scandals by some of the believers and similar issues? What is the ruling regarding receiving wages in return for looking after these pages and sites? What is the ruling regarding working for these sites - even voluntarily - initially? What is the ruling regarding accepting or being silent to the belittling or what the speaker refers to as “scholars' scandals”? Is deletion mandatory if this was his/her right and can be done and it is part of the deal between the participant and the page itself? What is the ruling for the manager or the observer and what is religious standard to his/her work?

Answer:

All people that participate by managing, implementing, observing or doing anything else, would share in the rewards of whatever is happening on the site if it was an obedience to Almighty Allah and his/her work was to seek closeness to Him.

All participants would deserve a share of the punishment if what is happening on the site is disobedience to Almighty Allah since this is not only supporting the sins or supporting the righteousness; it is participating in theses sins or righteousness since the work of the site cannot be done without the implementing committee’s involvement. Almighty Allah said:”and help you one another unto righteousness and piety. Help not one another unto sin and aggression, but keep your duty to Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment”. Because of this, it is mandatory to delete the forbidden materials or stop working for the site, in order not to participate in its burden.

We ask Almighty Allah to guide you, all believers, and us. We also ask Him for protection from aberration after being guided and from deflection after being straight. We seek refuge in Him from misguiding seductions, from our evil and the sins in our deeds. Almighty Allah says: “ And upon Allah rests the direction of the right way, and (some) of them are deviated; and had He willed He would guide you all aright”.

He is sufficient for us and most excellent is He in whom we trust.
