The prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) returned from Hajjat-ul-Weda’ (farewell Hajj) and reached Ghadir Khum (a specific place). He ordered everyone to stop, then he said: Soon I will obey the invitation of God (=I will pass away). Surely I leave two precious things to you, one is greater than the other: the book of God and my Etrah, that is, my family (progeny). In the following he said: “Whoever I am his/her Mola, then he (Ali) is his/her Mola. O my Lord! Love the one who loves him, and consider as an enemy the one who knows him an enemy”. This narration (called Ghadir narration) has been mentioned in the six authentic (according to the viewpoint of Sunnis) books (called “six Sehah” (plural of Sahih)) of Sunnis, as well as Shia valid books. Although these six Sehah books don’t include Ghadir narration entirely, they include some sentences concerning Wilayat and Imamate of Imam Ali (P.B.U.H.). Based on the viewpoint of Sunni scholars, Ghadir narration is valid and undeniable, in addition to Shia’s point of view.   

A Sunni brother has performed Hajj and then converted to Shia. Considering that he has not done Tawaf al-Nisa, what is his duty? Is his child illegitimate by birth?

Having good companionship toward all people whether they agree with us in opinion or disagree is incumbent, specially, Sunni Muslims who are from Islamic society.

Wahhabis think that ziyarah, is a polytheistic act of seeking intermediation, and renders a person outside the pale of religion. This is while ziyarah, according to the Ahl al-Sunnah, has been considered permissible. In this context, as in many other beliefs as well, Wahhabism is at odds with the Ahl al-Sunnah

Taqiyah (dissimulation or quietism) is a strategy for emergency situations and it is meant to protect human forces and not to endanger momeneen [believers] in petty and trivial matters. The principle of taqiyah is a part of the religion of Islam; it is rational and initiated by the Qur'an, confirmed by the traditions of the Prophet (S).  It is used as a rational and logical method by a believer who is in the state of combat against his mighty enemy.

إنَّ المُؤمِنَ لَيَدْعُو فِي الحَاجَةِ فَيُؤَخِّرُ اللهُ حَاجَتَهُ الَّتِي سَأَلَ إلَى يَوْمِ الجُمُعَةِ لِيَخُصَّهُ بِفَضْلِهِ.

The believer may pray for an exigency and Allah postpones answering him to grant him his demand on Thursday night.
