Question 586

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Q1: Prayers and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad, his good and pure family, the Mahdi and the Mahdis from his descendants, and may He grant them peace. I, the poor servant, have a vow that I used to make on every visitation: I would slaughter an animal in order to serve the visitors during the time of the accursed Saddam, either with food, or I would use the price of the animal to buy what was needed to suffice the visitors, such as bedding and foodstuffs. After this discussion, as more people began performing this service, I stopped doing this and changed my intention: either I give the animal-which is the Imam’s right-to its recipients, or the animal and its offspring remain with me, and in the month of Ramadan I distribute it to the poor. What is the opinion of my master and guardian concerning this matter? Or should it remain with me, and every year I slaughter its offspring in the month of Ramadan and distribute the offspring’s meat to the poor? In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Q2: I, (S. A.), am bewildered about my affair. I ask Your Eminence, by your standing with Allah, to supplicate for me that Allah provide me with a child who will delight my eyes. People and my family have wronged me. I ask Your Eminence, after my Lord’s permission-I have heard of your miracles and secrets-that there be a miracle for me, namely, having a child. May Allah grant you reward and success.
