Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Code of Ethics For Muslim Men and Women Foreword The Laws and Regulations of Islam are divided into two major and distinct categories – the first being those laws that deal with a human being’s relationship to his Creator and Master. The second category is those laws that regulate and govern our relationship with each other.
Seeing as how in the branch of Islamic Law, known is Fiqh, 90% of the rules govern our interaction with each other, it is a requirement that we become familiar with how we should carry ourselves when around members of the same sex and more importantly, those of the opposite sex.
The other five Maraja’, who are presently living, May Allah protect them all, include: Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj ash-Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Behjat, Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj ash-Shaykh Nasir Makarim Shirazi, Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj as-Sayyid ‘Ali al-Husaini as-Seestani, Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj ash-Shaykh Mirza Jawad Tabrizi, Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj ash-Shaykh Fazil Lankarani. The actual reference from the Arabic and Farsi texts of the various Maraja’ Taqlid in this book have been omitted.
As for the rulings for each of the Maraja’ we have used symbols, which will be mentioned at the end of this section, for brevity. In the event that one or more of the Maraja’ have not been mentioned in any ruling, this means that we were not able to get a hold of his rulings in that matter.
The main ruling which is given is in accordance tot he rulings of Ayatullah al-Udhma al-haj as-Sayyid Ruhullah al-Musawi al-Khumayni, and in the event of any difference between his rulings and those of the other Maraja’, the opinions of those who differ will follow the original ruling. If there is no difference between the rulings, then we will only mention (with their appropriate symbols), those Maraja’ who share the same opinion.
Since the views of eight of the Maraja’ Taqlid of the Shi’a World have been mentioned, in case the Marja’ to whom one is doing taqlid to expresses an Ihtiyat Wajib, with ease the reader is able to refer one of the Maraja’ who have expressed a ruling (perform Ruju’).
