Why should we boycott Israeli Products?
The following are the transcripts from ziyarat al- ashura, فَلَعَنَ ٱللَّهُ أُمَّةً أَسَّسَتْ أَسَاسَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَلَعَنَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُمَهِّدِينَ لَهُمْ بِٱلتَّمْكِينِ مِنْ قِتَالِكُمْ بَرِئْتُ إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَمِنْ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاRead more
The following are the transcripts from ziyarat al- ashura,
فَلَعَنَ ٱللَّهُ أُمَّةً أَسَّسَتْ أَسَاسَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ
وَلَعَنَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُمَهِّدِينَ لَهُمْ
بِٱلتَّمْكِينِ مِنْ قِتَالِكُمْ
بَرِئْتُ إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ
وَمِنْ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَأَوْلِيَائِهِمْ
So, may Allah curse the people who laid the basis of persecution and wronging against you, O Members of the Household. May Allah curse those who paved the way for them to do so and who made possible for them to fight against you. I repudiate them in the presence of Allah and You and I repudiate their devotees, followers, and loyalists.
Also in Quran, surah al-mumtahina verse no. 9 and in surah al mujadila verse no. 22,
إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
Allah forbids you only in regard to those who made war against you on account of religion and expelled you from your homes and supported [the polytheists of makkah] in your expulsion, that you make friends with them, and whoever makes friends with them it is they who are the wrongdoers.
لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ ۚ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
You will not find a people believing in Allah and the Last Day endearing those who oppose Allah and His Apostle even though they were their own parents, or children, or brothers, or kinsfolk. [For] such, He has written faith into their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit from Him. He will admit them into gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever], Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. They are Allah’s confederates. Look! The confederates of Allah are indeed felicitous!
Now it has been crystal clear that the Israeli brand are openly supporting this genocide and there is no room for any doubt about it and if anyone needs prove I am ready to give that too further, this verses and those transcript from ziyarat al-ashura made it very clear that we have to do tabbara on them those who supports injustice and oppression! The Israeli Brands and other brands supporting genocide are clearly laying a foundation and supporting this genocide! To tabbara on them is wajib on every muslim and the one who doesn’t do tabbara on them is same as those oppressors and murderers and it is they with whom allah is not pleased with as per the verses of quran mentioned above, now tabbara i.e disassociation has 3 main components, one is physical disassociation which includes boycotting them and not supporting them, second one is verbal disassociation in this we have to make people aware about boycotting such products and ask them to boycott it too! And the last component is to not to have any soft corner in our heart for such oppressors! Indeed if one does all of this then allah is pleased with you as well as your imam hussain(a)! And you will be granted jannah! And you will be considered among the party of allah as per verse 22 of sural al-mujadila! So boycotting such brands are something which is backed by quran and our traditions, it is something which is within our shariah and is not an innovated act, also is wajib on each and every muslim.

In Surah Al Luqman, verse no. 9
Among the people is he who buys diversionary talk that he may lead [people] astray from Allah’s way without any knowledge, and he takes it in derision. For such there is a humiliating punishment.
Now Using verse 90 from Surah Al Maidah we’ll understand the meaning of this term “diversionary talks”.
O you who have faith! Indeed wine, gambling, idols, and the divining arrows are abominations of Satan’s doing, so avoid them, so that you may be felicitous.
Concluding from this verses it gets clear that anything which is involved in gathering of sinners is harmful for us and is completely prohibited in islam, like gambling, adultery, abusing, backbiting, drinking, etc. now one of the major thing which is involved in this sinner’s gathering is music & dancing and this is the reason why the “diversionary talk” term in surah luqman is interpreted as music, so by this our mujtahideen concludes that any music that is involved in sinner’s gathering is haram and prohibited! Now further about Instrumental Music, we clearly have hadiths from ahlebayt(a) that strictly prohibits the use of instruments and instrumental music except if it’s used for praise of allah, his rasool and his progeny that too within a limit! And there is no room for doubt that rest all instrumental music are haram too, the music we have today i.e music for studying, meditating, sleeping and etc. these are are gateway to those music which are involved in gathering of sinners which is why one should avoid these, Coming to our manqabat, nohas and latmiyyas in all of this niche the use of instrumental music is limited as mentioned earlier i.e if you are enjoying, moving your body in a rhythmic manner and vibing on that musical notes of a particular latmiyyah or manqabat then you should definitely avoid listening to it cause there is an extensive use of instrumental music in it! Also if any latmiyyah or manqabat or noha mimics the effects or the way of music which is used in gathering of sinners should be avoided too a prime example of it is slowed reverbed nohas and latmiyyas. Many great scholars like Mohammad Reza Golpaygani, Luftollah Safi Golpaygani, Mohammad Taqi Misbah Yazdi prohibits the use of intruments and instrumental music irrespective of its purpose! In conclusion based on the level of piety of an individual one avoids even listening to manqabats and latmiyyas (even if there is limited use instrumental music in it) and are more focused in listening or reciting ziyarats, duas and quran.

The Prophet(s) had four daughters we have overwhelming evidences from shi’i sources that he had four daughters namely, Zaynab, Rukayyah, Umm Kulthum and Fatimah. Now some people say that rest three were adopted by prophet(s) and they were bibi khadijah’s daughters from her previous marriage or they were her sister’s daughter although we even have sources that all of them were biological daughter of prophet(s), some people intentionally reject this fact cause two of the daughter of Prophet(s) i.e Umm Kulthum and Rukayyah were married to Uthman the 3rd caliph of Sunnis, the point to be noted that these three daughters of prophet(s) passed away in the lifetime of prophet(s) which is the reason why fatima(s) was the only daughter he took to mubahila. Both umm kulthum didn’t had any child but rukayyah on the other hand had a son named abd allah ibn uthman who died later on although I am not very sure but as far as I remember lady zaynab also didn’t have any child from her marriage.
