[3] \n We present, below, some examples of Mujtahid\u2019s decrees \u2018Fatawa\u2019 from their Articles \u2018Touzi-ul-Masail\u2019.\u00a0 The selected Mujtahids are quite well known and are followed by most of Usooli Shia but an unbiased reader will soon find out that these Mujtahids do not only contradict themselves but also go against the traditions of Masomeen -asws .

\n However, prior to presenting traditions of Masomeen -asws after quoting the contradictions of Fatawa of Mujtahids, it is important to note there cannot be any contradictions in the traditions of Masomeen -asws , if one finds any then he has to look into more details the context and background to that traditions, as a hadith may have been reported from that person who was asked to observer Taqqiya or for a specific time\/condition, i.e., one can eat harram to save his life but under abnormal conditions when he was compelled to save his life.

\n (1) Chess: \n Agha Khomeini: playing chess as a sport or hobby is not Harram. [4] \n A centuries\u2019 old and pre-Islamic game \u2018Shatrange\u2019 (Chess) has been prohibited by the Masomeen -asws , there are more than 195 references to their -asws traditions against playing it or even looking at its table.\u00a0 However, its \u2018harram\u2019 status was made controversial, after 1979 \u2018Revolution\u2019 in Iran, with a single fatwa by Agha Khumeini, declaring it permissible, see, Appendix 2-a.\u00a0 We have translated few example traditions of Masomeen -asws , below, whereas other traditions and references are given without English translation (see Appendix 2-b-c).

\n Agha Seestani [5] : \n Q185: (Is it permissible) to play chess and backgammon without placing a bet? \n A: It is not permissible to play them. (FM, p.
