Aqaaid

Is it permissible to quote and rely upon information found in Shia kitaabs?

Q: I recently received e-mails and other whatsapp messages which claim that some years after Hazrat Husain (radhiyallahu anhu) was killed, the Shia of Kufah came out seeking revenge for his death. Apparently, the leader of these Shias was Sulaimaan bin Surad, and they were named ‘Tawwaaboon’ (the repentant ones). They fought against Ubaidullah bin Ziyaad and most of them, including their leader, Sulaimaan bin Surad, were killed in this battle. The information quoted in these messages has been taken from kitaabs of the Shia. Is this information correct, and is it correct to quote from the kitaabs of the Shia?

Fortune telling

Q: I am a high school student and I am applying abroad for undergraduate degree in engineering law. Today my father called a religious person in another city and my father asked him about my elder brother's future and then about me, that I applied abroad. He asked my father about my name and date of birth and then he told my father that I will go to Army or police in future.

So I wanted to know if I should apply abroad or not for engineering because if I have to go to to the army or police then what is the point or purpose of doing engineering or law? Also, can a person tell about someone else future ?

Reading books that create doubts and suspicion

Q: Recently I read a book and it contained things about another religion. I suffer from severe waswas so I started thinking what if I disbelieved in what should be believed. So can you please tell me whether these statements are correct in the light of Islam or not.
