Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

As we are living the days of Imam Hussein's (PBUH) martyrdom anniversary, we are group of youth who would like to have your opinion regarding some of the ways of grieving. Some people have objected to such ways; thus, problems happened between the two parties. Would you please give your opinion so it will be in favour of the sect? 1. Alshoor way of hitting the chest and uttering the word Hussein without the letter "H" such that it becomes Sein. 2. Hitting the chest without clothes. 3. Switching all the lights and keeping the red light only.

Answer

In the name of Allah, 1. There is no problem in repeating the word Hussein or whatever indicates it as this refers to the fact that they are not committed to the standard Arabic. This is because the accents and dialects have mixed with the standard Arabic and also the non-Arabs have mixed with the Arabs. Allah knows best. 2. If the purpose is to commemorate Al-Taf Tragedy and to keep the fire burning inside the hearts, there is no problem in that. Allah knows best. 3. There is no problem in that as well. Allah knows best.
