Please tell me how to deal with bad thought (thought of kufr) I am really distributed by these thoughts I cry and do tauba but it keeps on happening to me
Salam. I have a question before I proceed. Are these thoughts doubts about the religions veracity or thoughts of committing haram actions?
for example thought of kufr like am i following the correct religion what if there is no god and i am doing all this namaz and all please tell me some dua to stop such doubts
Your answer wont lie in just saying supplications but also you need to study beliefs and firmly ground yourself in knowledge. Knowledge removes doubts and establishes certainty. I have a course on beliefs if you can download the app Telegram and follow this link https://t.me/ShiaBeliefs I can also recommend some books if you like

Are women allowed to give sermons in Jumma (Khutba) only to women's. Namaz is performed in the presence of male Olema.
Jumah is not obligated for women. Women can not have their own Jumah services or lead Jumah prayers. However women can have their own programs (excluding Jumah) and give a speech and lead the obligatory prayers when there are only women present.

salaam, I am a 20 year old male and for past 6 or so months I have been suffering with anxiety. It started with a panic attack at school and lead to my diagnosis of GAD (general anxiety disorder) I want to know Islamic views on this mental topic and any help will be appreciated.
Ws I did come across this hadith which shows to that remembrance of Allah brings peace and tranquility. So doing the dhikr when u get anxious would help. The Prophet (s) said "There is no group of people who starts remembering Allah without being surrounded by the angels, receiving Allahs mercy, peace of mind and tranquility." Tuhaf al Uquol Hadith #270
salamalykum, as I previously stated I have an anxiety disorder and alhamdullilah I am feeling better. With ramzan coming up I wanted to know the rulings regarding fasting for someone in my state. I am also on medication and would like to know if I could take them in the middle of my fast. or If I suddenly feel a big burst of anxiety and I break my fast will it be considered a sin. jazakallah khairan for the info.
Wa alaykum salam. If it is necessary for you to take medication than you're not obligated to fast. If you will be off of this medication before next Ramadhan then you will do the Qadha of those days umyou missed, but if you will be continuously in need of this medication then you need to pay fidya of feeding one poor shia per day of the missed fasts.

Salaam Alaikom Shaikh, can a woman read the Holy Qur'an during the Menstrual cycle. I have read we can but we cannot touch the writing of the Holy Qur'an.
Wa alaykum salam. In Sayed Sadeq Shirazi's English risalat on page 98 it says "It is makruh (discouraged) for the one who has Hayd (heavy bleeding) to recite the Holy Quran, have it with her, carry it or touch the space between the lines."

I'm 21 and live in London. And my family have introduced to me a guy for marriage but I'm not sure what to do. Would it be wrong to ask for a khera and see what it says ?
As Salamu alaykum. If you are uncertain about it you can do an istikhara about the situation.
Salam, thank you for the response. What is istikhara and how would that make me sure about the situation ?
I believed thats what you were referring to by the word khera? Istikhara is a method that a person can use to take a decision whether it comes back good or bad. You can refer to a Sheikh who knows how this is conducted.

Salam alaykum Many Sunnis claim that Imam Ali named his sons after their three caliphs out of love for them. And they provide one Hadith where it says his son was named after Uthman ibn Affan, and not Uthman ibn Mazoon as the Shia belief is. I need proof from both Sunni and Shia ahadith that this is not true and InshaAllah those are available, Thank you and may Allah bless you.
Wa alaykum salam وذكر فيه (الثقفي في تاريخه)، عن هبيرة بن ميرم قال: كنا جلوسا عند علي عليه السلام، فدعا ابنه عثمان، فقال له: يا عثمان، ثم قال: إني لم أسمه باسم عثمان الشيخ الكافر، إنما سميته باسم عثمان بن مظعون. أبو الصلاح الحلبي، تقريب المعارف، ص ٢٩٤ Al-Thaqāfi (in his book of history) has narrated from: Hubarātah b. Mariam, he said: We were sitting with Ali (as) & Ali (as) had called for his son 'Uthmān to come, he said to him:O Uthmān, he continued and said: I did not name him 'Uthmān because of the Kāfir Shaykh 'Uthmān, for I named him 'Uthmān because of 'Uthmān b. Math'un. Abu Salah al-Halabi, Taqreeb al-Ma'ārif, Pg. 294
