The Shia have a tradition of dedicating the eighth day of Muharram to Al-Qasim, the son of Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (PBUH). They recount his virtues and elegies as part of the ongoing custom. When the reciter reaches his mention and delivers words about him from the pulpit, trays with candles, henna, and greenery are brought into the gathering. This is done to commemorate the magnitude of his tragedy, emphasizing that he was martyred in the prime of his youth without fully enjoying life. They consider this a wedding procession for Al-Qasim. When the trays are brought into the gathering, the mourners cry and wail, tears flow down Shia faces, and the Hussaini assembly is deeply moved. Is there, in your esteemed view, any objection to this custom and practice, or is there no harm in it?
Answer
In the name of Allah, there is no objection as long as everyone avoids anything contrary to the Sharia. Allah knows best.
