Aoa
can we pray for long life in dua for our beloved one? As our destiny is written, but it is also said that taqdeer can be changed by dua, but I’m confused because it is already said that day of death is written in destiny, so by praying and giving sadaqa can this be also changed.
Plz if can elaborate

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Jurists, try to provide answers to the questions, (except those matters which are considered by all to be indisputable) related to Fiqh (Jurisprudence).
A Muslim’s belief in the fundamentals of religion (uṣūl al‑dīn) must be based on personal insight [i.e. grounded in reason], and he cannot follow anyone in the fundamentals of religion, i.e., he cannot accept the word of someone who knows about the fundamentals of religion simply because that person says so. (Taqlid in Aqidah is Haram).
Questions related to Aqidah (Belief / Creed / Doctrine / Theology), like Concerning (Qada’) Destiny and Decree (Qadar) you can refer to the Holy Qur’an (specially Surah Al-Qadr), Nahjul Balagha, Al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādīyya and Dua / Ziyarat book like Mafatih al-Jinan (Keys to Heavens) (مفاتیح الجنان). You can speak to, and study books written by Qualified Shia Scholars (Ulama / The Learned Ones) especially the ones who specialize in Aqidah as a reference to formulate your Belief.
