First Question:

Dear Brother In Islam,

Salam I would like to ask you these questions:

1. In most sihah books there are ahadith which state: The Caliphs (Imams) after the Prophet (p) are TWELVE, my question is: who are these twelve caliphs?

2. who are ahl al-bayt ? there are many ahadith in sihah books which state: the prophet (p) said: I leaving among you the book of allah (quran) and my ahl al-bayt....

3. what is the your defination of SAHABI????

4. what is the islamic fatwa regarding YAZID ???

5. what is your opinion regarding the wars between the sahaba like,

* who refused to give zakat and abu bakr,

* the camal battle between Aisha + Talha + Zubair and thier followers and Imam Ali and his Shia,

* Siffin battle between Muawiya and his jama'a (al-fia' al-baghia) and Imam Ali and his Shia......).

6. I have read in you fatwa site your answer about the difference between Shia and Sunna. But, unfortunately your answer was unjustice about Shia-Imamia-12.

I would like to ask you - have you read any of thier books or have you visit any of their sites?

Did you read the famous fatwa of shaikh Mahmood shaltut (the shaikh of your azhar) about the shia imamia?

If you did not read any thing about them, then how come you give your opinion against them.

There are a lot of ayats from quran and hundreds of ahadith about Imam Ali, Please refere to your sihah and read what they wrote about him.

I ask you by your god who will ask you in the judgement's day about your fatwas against your brothers in Islam. (man afta b-ghier ilm faqd halak wa ahlak)

Second Question:

Dear ...

assalamu alaykum

One egyptian friend of mine has told me that:

They (egyptians) do khatan for females [their ages 7-15 years]. I would like to ask you:

what is Khatan for female?

How do you do it?

what is the islamic fatwa regarding khatan for females which is a famous practice in egypt?

please give some prophetic traditions about it from sihah books?

Please give more details and how you do it, in which age is recommended?

who will do it a doctor (male or female)?

If male-Doctor will do khatan for girl (14 years), what your opinion in this?

why it is famous in egypt only NOT in other islamic countries?

Salam
