Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

When going to the holy Karbala to visit Imam Hussein and his brother Abu Al-Fadhl Al-Abbas (peace be upon them), which one would you prefer to visit first? Kindly mention of sources and hadiths.

Answer

In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that there is no doubt that visiting Hussein (PBUH) is more honorable and better, but if the pilgrim intends to visit on Friday night, he can perform the Maghrib prayer in the shrine of Abi Al-Fadhl (PBUH) and then enter the shrine of Al-Hussein (PBUH), where by that time the night has fallen so that his entry to the shrine of Imam Hussein (PBUH) will be on Friday night. If he enters the shrine before the sunset and performs his visitation, it will not be considered the visitation of the Friday night unless he recites the pilgrimage text after Maghrib prayer. My son, these are the ways and you can choose. Allah is the Guide and Knowing.
