Grand Ayatullah Shirazi: Noble characters include performing Wajib and abstaining from Haram
—————————————–
The daily scholarly session of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq Hussaini Shirazi was held on Saturday, 4 Rabi al-Thani 1447.

As in previous gatherings, the Supreme Marja responded to questions from attendees on various jurisprudential matters.

Speaking on the concept of makarim al-akhlaq (noble characters) in Islamic narrations, His Eminence explained that the term encompasses not only virtuous conduct and good manners, but also the performance of obligatory duties and the avoidance of prohibitions.

He stressed that noble character should not be limited to kindness, courtesy, and pleasant speech. Rather, it extends to all aspects of behavior, including adherence to Islamic legal rulings.

Grand Ayatollah Shirazi further clarified that akhlaq is the plural of khulq, meaning “method” or “way,” and thus the implementation of religious laws is inherently part of one’s ethical conduct.
