Najafi Q&A: The Principle of Dissimulation (Taqyia)

Answer

In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that taqyia is to protect yourself from the evil of your enemy. This is the core meaning of taqyia. The applications of taqyia are different; for example, if you pray in the way of lowered hands where your enemies do not tolerate your prayer, you may leave that place and pray in another, if you can. If you cannot do that, you may pray in a way with which you can protect yourself. Allah knows best.

Answer

A. First: in the name of Allah: the first commitment is the piety to Allah and keeping away from sins: minor and major ones, in secret and public in order for one to be included in the divine mercy and to keep him away from misguided deviation. He must present all his evil suspicions from oneself or from others to the most well-known Religious Authorities to guide and help him. Allah is the all Helper. The second thing is to search for the tradition of Ahlulbait (PBUH) and what they have carried out in order to guide the people and to be able to formulate their life in the mold of their lives as much as possible, and that through the reading of books composed by specialists in this regard and guided by the selection of the book of religious scholars. Allah blesses all. A. Second: In the name Allah: He has to deal with the surrounding people with morality so as not to give them the pretext of aggression and caution from the devilish people as they are uglier than the demons of the jinn. Allah blesses all.
