وَ مِنْهُ...

وَ مِنْهُ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجُبَّةِ الْفِرَاءِ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ السُّوقَ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَشْتَرِي الْجُبَّةَ لَا يَدْرِي أَ هِيَ ذَكِيَّةٌ أَمْ لَا يُصَلِّي فِيهَا And from him, by this chain, said, ‘I asked him -asws about the fur coat. The man comes to the market from markets of the Muslims. He buys the coat. He does not know whether it is purified (slaughtered animal) or no. He prays Salat in it.

قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْخَوَارِجَ ضَيَّقُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِجَهَالَتِهِمْ إِنَّ الدِّينَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا فِي أَوْسَعَ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْتُمْ مَغْفُورٌ لَكُمْ‏. He -asws said: ‘Yes. Abu Ja’far -asws had said: ‘ The Kharijites have constricted upon themselves due to their ignorance . The religion is vaster than that .

Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws had said: ‘Our ‑asws Shias are in more vastness than what is between the sky to the earth. You (Shias) are Forgiven for (your sins)’’. [10] Concluding Remarks: Na baba na this reform is a no! To please general Muslims at the cost of the spoiling of one’s own Fast, as well as causing rift and discontentment among the twelve Imami Shias, is neither a constructive campaign nor Islamic.

It is harmful and destructive for shias who have been united for centuries and practicing in this way. In additional, those who love to benefit from the knowledge of the reformist of the video clip being refuted here, must note that his beliefs are contrary to that of mainstream shia faith.

For example, at about 36:48 minutes, he categorically denied the Ism of Syeda -asws the daughter of Rasool-Allah -saww , and again at 1:14:47, he denies that Imam Jafar -asws or Masomeen -asws had the knowledge of Ilmul Ghaiyb (Knowledge of the Hidden) as he has commented when referring to the actions of Abu Khatab.

Our refuting of the main points raised by the reformist are briefly included in the Appendix: APPENDIX I: Replies to some of the main points of the reformist The reformist is challenging the centuries old and well-established practice of fast-breaking time of the followers of Ahl Al-Bayt ‑asws (all shias either from the Usooli or Akhbari school of thoughts are united at the prevailing fast-breaking time).
