There is an Indian village called Tanda in the city of Ahmed Karankar in which a shrine for Imam Ali (PBUH) was built 300 years ago by the governors of Tanda. This holy shrine is very dilapidated due to lack of maintenance and funding. The Shiites in that region are not financially able to restore. Therefore, we request the following from your Excellency: 1. kindly take this issue into consideration so as to preserve this shrine as it is the symbol of Shiites and Shiite rituals and if neglected, it will be ruins by the passage of time. 2. We need an urgent financial help for maintenance.
Answer
In the name of Allah, you have to religiously prove that this shrine belongs to the Master of Faithful (PBUH). Isn't he buried in Najaf?! Yes, it is permissible to renovate it, if this shrine is a symbol and a copy to that in Najaf which is made for the sake of gathering Shiites to perform their rituals, provided that all must know that the Master of the Faithful (PBUH) is buried in Najaf. Yet, the renovation is from the people's own money not from the money of religious rights. Allah is the Guide.
