I got this on my talk page:

Hi Striver. I've made some edits[1][2] to the article.

Could you take a look if they are OK? Thanks. LambiamTalk 00:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lambiam! I looked, and this isnt what i understand. I dont undertand the terms as "its better to not do that", rather, "We dont really know if we can do that, so lets suppose we shouldent just to make sure".

Another term is "obligatory precaution", it cant mean "You are obligated to not do it", it means "we dont know if we can do it, but we are obligated to assume that we cant".

That is my unsertanding, but im not 100% sure. I mean, if my understanding is not correct, then the term "obligatory precaution" wouldent make any sense, why not just write "its haram"?.

I mean "precaution" means "we dont know, so lets assume", "recommended" measn "i dont really want to tell all my Shi'a followers they CANT do it due to 'precaution', so ill just recomend them to not" and "obligatory" means "I rule that my followers may not do that due to 'precaution'".

You need to think of this in with the knowledge that Shi'a, in contrary to Sunnis, belive in free interpretation and imitation, and that it is the Marjas duty to give his interpretation, and he cant always be 100% sure. Hope that helps... --Striver 00:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
