Status of Firmans.

[Abadhu7]

Yam, i Joined my local Jamat whatsapp group, only ismailis,
I was informed that it is HI hydiat that we are not allowed to chat about firmans, that, it is private. I inquired more about it, only thing I was told that
Senior Leaders are saying so..
I personally have not heard HI say anything on the subject, please correct me if I am wrong.
I know that the ismaili constitution says we should have access to firmans.
I recently read ISMS firman saying that anyone preventing listening to firmans is the enemy of the faith. And as far as I know, there is no firman that supersedes it.
So can you guys please help me, i keep hearing conflicting stories,
What is the status? Has HI said we can't have firmans? Why are senior leaders saying this? What is HI's take on the matter?
Please help me understand. Thx

There is no such thing. Farmans are made by our Imam for the benefit of the Jamat. Farmans are the only thing that really distinguish Ismailism from other Muslims as we have the Imam of the Time to guide us according to our time. The subject has already been discussed, please do not open a new thread, continue this discussion in the thread that you have opened previously here:
