Published rulings · never a fatwa

Ask once. Read what your marja actually wrote.

AskShia only searches rulings your marja has already published. It quotes them and links you to the page they came from. No paraphrase, no invention.

How an answer is built

Three steps, all of them visible.

STEP 01
You ask plainly

Write the question the way you would ask it in person. No legal vocabulary needed.

STEP 02
AskShia searches only what is published

Only your marja's own books and office answers. Nothing else is in scope, so nothing else can be invented.

STEP 03
You read the ruling itself

The Arabic, a plain-language summary, and a link to the page it came from.

A real answer, unedited
Asked
Does travelling break my fast?

If you travel eight farsakh or more — roughly 44 km — the fast is invalid once you pass the boundary of your town, and that day must be made up later. If you set out after midday, the fast of that day stands.

Quoted verbatim · not paraphrased
مَن سافَرَ ثَمانِيَةَ فَراسِخَ ذَهاباً أو إياباً فَلا يَصومُ، وإن خَرَجَ بَعدَ الظُّهرِ صَحَّ صَومُهُ ذلكَ اليَومَ

“One who travels a distance of eight farsakh, going or returning, must not fast; and if he departs after noon, his fast for that day remains valid.”
