Brother, I think you know there are scores of interpretations by different famous scholars of the past and present on what is hijaab. So you should follow who ever is your favorite scholar and madhab and I shall follow mine.

I personally think it is not a requirement to cover the hands and face, and if they do it, it is ok as long as they do not say it is required by Islam. If they say it is required by Islam, than that is a bidda.

Regarding the combining of prayers, I was not talking about taking the prayer out of its time. For e.g. if it is end of dhur and beginning of asr time, then you are still doing the dhur (albeit very late) and then soon you do the asr. That is the meaning of combining. You are still doing them at their proper time.

Btw, there is no where in the Quran the first Kalima 'la ila ha ill lul lah muhammad ur rasool ul lah'. But it is infact two different verses from the holy Quran that someone combined to form the kalima. So if shia people have their own kalima which is different from sunni kalima, we cannot say it is wrong as long as it is nothing bad. The shahada on the other hand is same for any new muslim: 'ash hado alla ila ha ill lul lah, wah da ho wa la sharik alla ho, wa ashadu anna muhammadun abdo ho wa rasool la hu'.

The shia's may have different rituals from sunnis, but that is no reason to consider them deviant. They follow their own imams and scholars, who were all great Muslims too. All I know is Allah says do good and stop evil. So if someone does any good, then we can all learn something good from it. Allah says to establish the salat, pay the zakat, and bow down with those who bow down. So if I see the shia people bowing down in worship, I see no harm in joining them because it is ordained by God.
