Supporting and encouraging young clerics and students to express their objections on different subjects was a particular quality in Imam's character as a prominent seminary teacher.
I remember once I submitted Imam a note in which I had written my objections about a certain subject taught by him.
Imam gently received my note and I did not see him for a few days. When I met his Excellency again he told me with a smile:
“Well, I read your views and opinions. The ability to explain disagreement is your forte!”
