Imam Khomeini says in his Tahrir al-Wasilah vol.1, p. 241 issue No.11: “The stronger and widely held opinion is that it is permissible to approach wife from behind.” This verdict contradicts a saying from the Holy Prophet (pbuh) who said: “Allah’s curse be upon he who approaches his wife from behind.” Please explain.

If divine decrees are permanent and unchanging, then how can the instability of some rulings be explained? For example:1- If according to the Quran the right of divorce is exclusively for men, than how can it be given to women as one of the conditions of the marriage contract?2- According to Islamic sources, the Diyah that the People of the book living in an Islamic society are entitled to is half the that of Muslims. How is it that the Expediency Discernment Council (under the supervision of the supreme leader) has made it equal to the Diyah of Muslims in Iran?3- A deceased person’s estate must be divided in the ratio of 2:1 between male and female inheritors respectively, how come this rule can be changed if one specifies it in his/her will? The same thing happens when a male individual from the inheritors let's a women have an equal portion of the inheritance.4- We all know that the mixing between men and women is forbidden in Islam. Why does it take place during the ritual of hajj, in which millions of people participate?We all know that western societies and those who are against the revolution in Iran have been opposing this ruling and consider it to be unjust, meaning that the law in Iran must change to the interest of women. If men can give the right of divorce to women at the time of signing the marriage contract don't you think that we are actually carrying out the wishes of the westerners? If we argue that this right is exclusively for men and this will not change, how is it permissible and accepted for it be given to women? Can men and women change Allah's tenets just because they agree to do so?Regarding the second example the new law was announced by the Expediency Discernment Council (under the rule of the supreme leader) and they maintained that the change was made due to the circumstances of the People of the book who live in Iran, the question that comes to mind is that didn't Allah know about their situation when he set the law?! No one can claim that he has not taken their situation and the circumstances they deal with into consideration while legislating the law, because such an assertion clearly contradicts his wisdom!!

What is the concept of Islamic modest dress? It is said in Islam that man and woman have been created and evolved equally and there is no difference between them. If so, why does Islam imposes restrictions on women only? If there is no difference between men and women, then men should also observe Islamic modest dress?

I am a follower of the Ja'fari School and I am acting upon religious laws with reference to Mulla Sadra's doctrines. Therefore, I do not formally recognize any religious authorities or sources of emulation because I do not feel I am in need of Taqlid. My first question relates to the Quranic verse which says "There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error…" Why is it in the Shiite religion that when it comes to the branches of faith, one is compelled to do Taqlid i.e. follow another person? Does Taqlid not contradict the aforementioned divine command? In fact the muftis (jurists who interpret Muslim religious law) who do not respect the principle of unity have been strongly condemned and denounced by the Commander of the Faithful in sermon 18 of Nahjul Balaghah. The question is: Why should we act in a way such that is opposed to the divine command? Why should we act against the saying of our master, the Commander of the Faithful? Why should we do Taqlid and not engage in research?
