Question:If someone prefers a person to the Imam (PBUH), is he considered Nasibi?

Answer:In the name of Allah: The Nasibi is the one who shows his hostility to the infallibles starting from the greatest prophet (PBUH&HF) to the last Imam (AJ) including Lady Zahraa (PBUH). Allah is the all guide.

Question:It is narrated that one of the religious knowledge references of people in the time of the minor disappearance was some scholars like Sheikh Al-Mufeed, Al-Kileeny, Alsadooq and the like. What is the difference between the religious knowledge given by the four ambassadors to people from the Imam (AJ) and the religious knowledge taken by the people from the aforementioned scholars?

Answer:In the name of Allah: Sometimes, some Shia people would love to ask the Imam (AJ) personal, he will be blessed by getting the answer directly from him (AJ). He (AJ) may also be asked some non-religious questions somebody who wants to deliver Imam share to the Imam (AJ) himself through the ambassadors or like someone who asked one of the ambassadors whether he would recover from his chronic disease or not. Then, The Imam informed him that he would recover and continue living for x years. Regarding the general religious questions, they were taken from the scholars as the ambassadors were not known to all Shia or people because they would be killed by the oppressive regime. The regime was looking for the Imam (AJ) to kill him and kill anyone who contacted him. This could be one of the reasons why the Imam (AJ) did not choose the scholars to be his ambassadors and instead he chose from the normal people so that it would be done secretly. Allah knows best.

Question:Can we say that disappearance of the Imam (AJ) is characterized as "absolute" because anybody who claims meeting him is a liar or slanderer? Or because it is characterized by continuing for a long time? And is the minor disappearance characterized as such because the four ambassadors were meeting him? Or because it was for a short time?

Answer:In the name of Allah: The minor disappearance was not absolute and not all the believers were deprived of meeting him (AJ). So, the disappearance was partial and not absolute. After the death of the fourth ambassador, the major (absolute) disappearance started. Put differently, he (AJ) no longer has an ambassador or mediator between him and his Shia whether this mediation is for religious, political, social or general issues. This does not mean nobody can even have a look at him. Some lucky people did see him like what happened to some of the believers. Allah knows best.
