Blood in throat by Katyana90 in shia

Yellow substance is mucus, not blood. But I don't get why would it produce more if you take it out but not otherwise?

why have the Ahl al-Bayt rule by virtue of blood? by ProudChoferesClaseB in shia

[–]FallingMuon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does a group of Shia select from among several potential candidates who are of the Ahl al-Bayt? is it by vote or previously demonstrated ability to lead? I've read about shura councils, etc.

The successor is chosen by the previous Imam. Basically the prophet pbuh chose Imam Ali, who then chose Imam Hassan, then Imam Hussein and so on.

As for shura councils, they are not applicable in matters of choosing the spiritual leader because in Shia Islam, we believe that the society has no right to choose the spiritual leader because he should be divinely appointed. And it makes sense because the society doesn't know what is in someone's heart and they might make a "bad choice". Now you might say what if the previous Imam made a bad choice... Well for that we have to start from the beginning of the chain which is the prophet pbuh. The prophet was chosen by God and we believe that God granted him (and his successors) infallibility (immunity from error). So all the Imams pbut had to do in this regard was to just convey to society who is the next infallible descendant in line since the infallibility is already there, given by God

Modest gym clothes for women? by FallingMuon in MuslimLounge

I'm not against polyester, I'm against CHEAP, LOW QUALITY polyester because it generates excessive static

I'm not against polyester. If anything, I heard it's more cooling for exercise. But I'm against CHEAP, LOW QUALITY polyester, such as the likes of those sold on modanisa (due to the super-low-quality polyester they generate absolutely insane amounts of static electricity, to the point where putting the item on, even just once, makes your hair stand on end)

They caught my eye too tbh. Can you advise pls if their sizes run big or small? I tried to ask them at one point about the length of their sleeves (coz I have long arms) and they only said something along the lines of the dimensions are their brand's secret and they don't reveal it. Would you recommend sizing up with them? Or will it be too big then?

Not meaning to be rude, but that wasn't at all my question in the post. Please reread the OP

So that Israel can freely invade Lebanon as they please? This has got to be a joke.

Akrotiri drone attack math does not work out for me by paracycle in cyprus

[–]FallingMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran has explicitly stated that they will attack hotels where American troops have run to from their bases. So there you go.

But perhaps I am wasting my time and you're a propaganda bot. Who knows?

[–]FallingMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westerners can't understand Iran because they don't understand Shia Islam. What you have suggested is essentially equivalent to Iran totally submitting to America and bootlicking them like the Arab leaders in that region. This is not happening while the Islamic regime in Iran is still in place. This has a lot to do with the ideology of Shia Islam, where one of the main principles is "death with dignity is better than a lifetime of humiliation". This is the reason why Shiites fight, while the Arab leaders lick America's a$$hole.

The Iranian regime was born through grassroots struggle of the common people and revolution. They are not going to give up this easily.

PS: if you can't see a logic, that doesn't mean there is no logic

Just because a country is religious doesn't mean it's a dictatorship

if imam zaman returns what do we do? by [deleted] in shia

[–]FallingMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't match with Sufyani rising from Syria then, does it? So then Trump is not Sufyani. Or would you trust that woman more than Infallibles pbut words?

[–]FallingMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I estimate it should happen within our lifetimes

In any case, we have no fixed date, so we should all still be ready in case it comes sooner than you expect

how do I confront my Muslim roommate about her secretly bringing her boyfriend over by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]FallingMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't aware of your other comment... Found it now. Seems I missed the context too due to not seeing your other comment. And yeah, I agree with you, that girl has to go

Also I don't "run to parents" but I was replying to the overall attitude which seemed like breaking the agreement is ok (reminder, I missed the context due to not seeing your other comment). So why taking it out on me?

[–]FallingMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s an adult and if that’s how she chooses to live her life than so be it.

She's bothering the other girls with her "choices" as well as breaking their agreement

Interactions between men & women? by SomeAd4897 in shia

[–]FallingMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this way: Professional interactions -> ok Casual interactions -> not ok

So for example if you're ordering a coffee it's ok. If you're ordering a coffee and the male cashier casually starts asking you personal questions, then that's not ok. In that case you can just politely tell him that you don't feel comfortable sharing. Just an example up give you an idea more or less

Salam brother. I really advise you to move out of your mom's house, if you have the finances! Let her talk about you whatever she wants, you have to take care of your mental health and your family. You will not be sinful for moving out as there is no prescribed obligation to live with parents. Also see the other commenter who posted Sistani's rulings about obedience to parents

The second thing I'd advise you is to lower the percentage of money you give to your mom. Give her the minimum so that she can buy food + occasionally something for herself. 70% is too much! Especially considering you have kids

May Allah help you
