Venerating the Places visited by Imam (a.s.) For example the Masjid Sahla, the great Kufa Mosque,the cellar in Samarrah and the Masjid Jamkaran etc, where some pious people had met Imam (a.s.) or the places mentioned in traditions to be places where Imam (a.s.) had stayed for sometime-or like the Masjidul Haraam etc; and all other things associated with Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.). Like the names and titles, the words of his tawqees and books about Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) etc. Here we should note that firstly it is the mustahab nature of these above acts and secondly it is about the kind of respect accorded to them. 1. The proof of their being mustahab acts is based on the Quranic verse: "And whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts." (Surah Hajj 22: 32) 2. The proof from tradition can be the saying of Amirul Momineen (a.s.) who said, "We are the signs (of Allah) and the companions." (1) As for the method of veneration (Ihteram), first of all the entering and staying in the holy places and tombs of Imams (a.s.) in a state of ritual impurity (Janabat) are considered haraam according to some scholars. (2) To do anything that is in contravention to respect of the holy Imam (a.s.). Like taking Ain-e-Najasaat (impurities) inside these places, which is haraam if the intention is to cause disrespect. (3) We must restrain all those who are committing such acts. (4) A person who occupies a place in these spots he is more deserving of it than other people. |
