Imam Khamnae???
You people have given attributes of Aima Masoomeen(asws) to Ulema. and whosoever oppose you, then the biggest prove you got is fatwa of Mujtahid.
anyhow we have Hadith e Masoom(asws) and you have mujtahid fatwa.
both things cannot be compared.
I would like to invite you and all people with the same belief to have a Debate with me regarding using attributes of Imam(asws) with sinful persons. like Imam, Ruhullah, Ayatullah, Hujjatullah, Wali ul Amr etc.
From previous 1400 years these Attributes or titles were used with only and only 12 Imams(asws), but now a new ruhullah, a new hujjatullah, a new wali ul amr and a new Imam is there.
salam to all of you.

Hasnain Naqvi

Subject: Question about Akhbariyat
As Salam Aleykum
dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
I would like to ask a religious question to my Marja-e-Taqleed and our
Wilayat-e-Faqih Hazrat Imam Khamenei (may Allah shower HIS blessings on
him).
Dear Imam Khamenei, as Salam Aleykum
I wanted to ask you a
important religious question about a new group among Ithna Asheriyyah
Shia, which is called Ithna Asheriyyah Imamiyah Akhbari.
The Akhbaris call themselves true shia and they believe in the 14
Masoomeen(as). But they reject Marjiyat and the conept of Taqleed, saying,
that they are doing taqleed of Imam al-Mahdi (as) directly.
The Akhbaris sometimes curse (La'aan) and insult the great Mujtahideen
like the Wali-e-Faqih Imam Khamenei, and also Imam Khomeini (r.), they
absolutely disrespect he great Ulema of Shia, sometimes even from the pulpit (Minbar).
The Akhbari believe that the shahaadah of Aliyun Waliullah is obligatory(wajib) in
every namaaz in the tashahud. Furthermore Akhbaris believe, that
the quran has been changed and Azadari of Imam al-Mazloom (as) is more important
than prayer. They have also constructed a internet website www.akhbari.org there you
can read more of their beliefes. They are nowadays very active among shia especially in
Muharram during Majaalis of ShuhDah-e-Kerbala (as). They tell wrong things about Islam
and also write wrong books. The Akhbaris are confusing many of our shia brothers and
sisters.
Some true shia preachers have said that the religion of Akhbariat is different
from true shiism and that these people are Kuffar. My question is now:
1) Are the Akhbaris considered as muslims in your honourable opinion?
2) Is it permissible to eat and drink from them?
3) How should the shia brothers and sisters warned against the Akhbari
religion, because many people don't know about them?
Wassalam Aleykom wa Rahmatullah, Jazaakum Allah khairan,

Salamun `alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.
The answer is as follows:
Bismihi Ta`ala
1) As long as their belief does not make them denying the fundamental of
the religion or the prophethood of the Last Prophet Muhammad (s.), they
are rued as Muslims and taahir (pure) although their deviation is confirmed.
2) According to the given question, there is no objection to it.
3) You must try your best to guide them through kind treatment, good
morals, getting good information through reading, to be able to guide them.
You may also make the others aware of their deviated thoughts.
Note: We beg your pardon, for the delay in answering your questions which
is due to great deal of work and the huge number of emails reaching us from
all over the world.
With prayers for your success,
wassalam

(main vein on the side of the neck). Therefore the condition as per the fatwa of Shaikh Hairi make the khhoni matam batil. Excessive bleeding is common and that also contradics the shart (provided there is no harm). Therefore based on the conditions given by the Shaikh himself in the given Fatwa itself, khooni matam is proved to be batil. Also, those who do khooni matam leave mark of injury on their head, chest and back etc. this disfugers there body and is an insult to the beutiful creation of Allah SWT. Allah has made us Basharan Sawiyya. Man is the best creation of Allah, and disfiguring the beutiful body by marking injury on oneself is an insult to the beutiful creation of Allah SWT.

> Question by Ahmed: My brother wants to do Qama on 20 Safar, he is following Ayatollah Sistani. Based on the misuse of Qama today, insincerity of many people, diseases spreading around, and political views can I stop him from doing Qama?
> Answer by Board of Istifa, Office of Grand Ayatollah Sistani: The main objective of mourning and lamentation during 'Ashura', is to respect the signs and symbols of religion and remember the suffering of Imam Hussain (as), his companions, and his uprising to defend Islam and prevent the destruction of the religion by Bani Umayyad dynasty. These rites must be done in such a way that in addition to serving that purpose, it draws the attention of others to these lofty goals. Also its ritual aspect should be preserved. So those actions which are not understandable for the enemies of Islam and non-Shia Muslims and causes misunderstanding and contempt for the religion must be avoided.

These rites must be done in such a way that in addition to serving that purpose, it draws the attention of others to these lofty goals. So those actions which are not understandable and causes misunderstanding and contempt for the religion must be avoided.

> Q1430: What is the view on beating the drum and cymbal, blowing the trumpet, and lashing oneself with chains with blades during the processions of the commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.)?
> A: If the use of such chains leads, in the eye of the public, to defaming our school of thought or inflicting a noticeable harmful effect on the body, it is not permissible. There is no harm in using the drum, cymbal, and trumpet in the traditional way.
> Q1439: Is there any basis in religion for piercing one's body with weights dangling therefrom, all in the name of commemorating the martyrdom of the Imam Husayn (a.s.)?
> A: These acts, which are, inevitably, bound to portray our school of thought in a negative shade, are impermissible.
> Q1449: In commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.) on the tenth of Muharram, some people hit themselves with a machete, or walk bare-footed on fire. Such actions defame Shi'ism and put it in a bad light, if not undermine it. They cause bodily and spiritual harms on these doing it as well. What is your opinion in this matter?
> A: Any practice that causes bodily harm, or leads to defaming the faith, is Haram. Accordingly, the believers have to steer clear of it. There is no doubt that many of these practices besmirch the image of Ahlul Bayt's (a.s.) School of Thought which is the worst damage and loss.
> Q1450: Is hitting oneself with swords Halal if it is done in secret? Or is your fatwa in this regard universal?
> A: In addition to the fact that it is not held in the common view as manifestations of mourning and grief and it has no precedent at the lifetime of the Imams (a.s.) and even after that and we have not received any tradition quoted from the Infallibles (a.s.) about any support for this act, be it privately or publicly, this practice would, at the present time, give others a bad image of our school of thought. Therefore, there is no way that it can be considered permissible.
> After reading the above mentioned orders from two Great Ayatollah's of our times. People should start following the orders to safeguard Islam and to fail the propaganda of "Taghoot" and arrogant powers of this era against Shiites proving them "Crazy" & "Insane" people who beat themselves sometimes so hard even threatening their own lives. To see the propaganda of "Taghoot" by yourself to believe, please visit the below given link called as Ashura.
> As such the true form of Azadari (mourning) is relevant to Wilayat only. The Azadari seen mostly are a set of rituals which are done with the purpose of earning rewards, expressing love of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in the form of grief, or expressing condolence to his mother Fatima Zahra (s.a.). Whereas Azadari in its true sense is awakening of the Ummah to stand and protest against the Yazid of our age and denounce their cruel and harmful policies towards Islam, and this spirit is very much lacking in our Azadari sessions, and this can only be enlightened through the Wilayat of the righteous, that is the Ulama (Faqih) during the occultation of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.).
> As far as mourning is concerned and getting attention of entire world, then it should be done very nicely with "beating chests and heads with hands" and with complete discipline in procession. All the people should participate with fully dressed in black cloths. Then definitely it will impress the entire world and will force them to accept us as a peace loving people. On the other hand people fear from Shiites when they see them doing Zanjeer Zani crazily and from head to toe covered with blood.
> Some people call it Mojeza (Miracle) of Imam Hussain (a.s.), that there is no infection out of the wounds of Zanjeer and Qama.
> As far as no infection with Zanjeer and Qama is concerned, shows the lack of knowledge regarding cultures and religions of world. National Geographic channel has shown many times that in some countries they do the same things which Shiites do and they neither feel pain nor infection after doing so. Hence they can also claim it as Mojeza. So, it has been decided that religion can not be practiced according to our assumptions and self-made thoughts instead we should commemorate true Azadri with its soul.
> Some says; this is an issue of Aqeeda, whereas Taqleed is forbidden in Aqeeda, so what concern we have with the Marjae's?
> This is one more ignorant question. Aqeeda (Usool example Tauheed) is belief, beliefs are always in the heart, when the beliefs get manifested in practical form it becomes Furoo (example Salaat), and all Furoo are controlled by laws of Shariah. Now love for Allah is Tauheed, but when the same love comes into action it become Salaat, which is Furoo, and Shariah will tell us the way of Salaat. In a similar way, the love of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is Aqeeda, but when the same love comes in practical form, it becomes Furoo (example Azadari) and has to be controlled by Shariah.
> As far as matter of Owais-e-Qarani is concerned, he didn't broke his teeth's deliberately but infact it was emotional act and was not pre-planned thing rather than it was unplanned and very quick as he heard the news of the Prophet's broken teeth's. So if we suppose that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) didn't object on it then even we can't relate it to Zanjeer and Qama Zani's permission. Because (1) we do this Zanjeer and Qama Zani pre-planned and we do it every year and Owais-e-Qarani did it only once so we can't make habit of it. (2) we see no continuation of such practice after Owais-e-Qarani, hence proving that its not desirable or Mustahab thing otherwise other companions (Sahabas) would have done it or after that any of companions of Aimma would have done it when hearing martyrdom of any Imam.
> Hence it is proved that we find no legal status of shedding blood deliberately and make a practice of it every year rather then we should try to find out the ways which Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) has done, don't forget after Imam Hussain (AS), we have the history of eight (8) Imams, its not less. Why sticks on the act of Owais-e-Qarani only hence try to prove baseless thing?

Subject: Question about Akhbariyat
As Salam Aleykum
dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
I would like to ask a religious question to my Marja-e-Taqleed and our
Wilayat-e-Faqih Hazrat Imam Khamenei (may Allah shower HIS blessings on
him).
Dear Imam Khamenei, as Salam Aleykum
I wanted to ask you a
important religious question about a new group among Ithna Asheriyyah
Shia, which is called Ithna Asheriyyah Imamiyah Akhbari.
The Akhbaris call themselves true shia and they believe in the 14
Masoomeen(as)
that they are doing taqleed of Imam al-Mahdi (as) directly.
The Akhbaris sometimes curse (La'aan) and insult the great Mujtahideen
like the Wali-e-Faqih Imam Khamenei, and also Imam Khomeini (r.), they
absolutely disrespect he great Ulema of Shia, sometimes even from the pulpit (Minbar).
The Akhbari believe that the shahaadah of Aliyun Waliullah is obligatory(wajib) in
every namaaz in the tashahud. Furthermore Akhbaris believe, that
the quran has been changed and Azadari of Imam al-Mazloom (as) is more important
than prayer. They have also constructed a internet website www.akhbari.
can read more of their beliefes. They are nowadays very active among shia especially in
Muharram during Majaalis of ShuhDah-e-Kerbala (as). They tell wrong things about Islam
and also write wrong books. The Akhbaris are confusing many of our shia brothers and
sisters.
Some true shia preachers have said that the religion of Akhbariat is different
from true shiism and that these people are Kuffar. My question is now:
1) Are the Akhbaris considered as muslims in your honourable opinion?
2) Is it permissible to eat and drink from them?
3) How should the shia brothers and sisters warned against the Akhbari
religion, because many people don't know about them?

Salamun `alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.
The answer is as follows:
Bismihi Ta`ala
1) As long as their belief does not make them denying the fundamental of
the religion or the prophethood of the Last Prophet Muhammad (s.), they
are rued as Muslims and taahir (pure) although their deviation is confirmed.
2) According to the given question, there is no objection to it.
3) You must try your best to guide them through kind treatment, good
morals, getting good information through reading, to be able to guide them.
You may also make the others aware of their deviated thoughts.
Note: We beg your pardon, for the delay in answering your questions which
is due to great deal of work and the huge number of emails reaching us from
all over the world.
With prayers for your success,
wassalam

(main vein on the side of the neck). Therefore the condition as per the fatwa of Shaikh Hairi make the khhoni matam batil. Excessive bleeding is common and that also contradics the shart (provided there is no harm). Therefore based on the conditions given by the Shaikh himself in the given Fatwa itself, khooni matam is proved to be batil. Also, those who do khooni matam leave mark of injury on their head, chest and back etc. this disfugers there body and is an insult to the beutiful creation of Allah SWT. Allah has made us Basharan Sawiyya. Man is the best creation of Allah, and disfiguring the beutiful body by marking injury on oneself is an insult to the beutiful creation of Allah SWT. This also a harm and therefore haram as per fatwa of shaikh Hairi given below.

One can even eat pig in Alame Izterar (if one is dying of hunger) it does not become Hujjat for others.

> Â Answer:
> There is no problem with that, given the assumption made in the question, and Allah knows best.
> Question:
> You stated that there is no problem in causing the bleeding of the head â€" known as TATBIR â€" if it does not lead to harm. It is said that it is not more than a permissible act, then can TATBIR be MUSTAHAB â€" desirable â€" if the intention was the upholding and honouring the Sha’a’er â€" signs of Allah â€" and sympathy with the Ahl-ul-Bayt, peace be upon them?
> Â
> Answer:
> Most probably Allah Almighty would give thawab â€" reward (the individual) â€" for sympathising with the Ahl-ul-Bayt if the intention is sincere.

> Question:
> Some individuals say that I do not see shedding my tears as enough to express my grief for Imam Hussain (AS), his household and his followers on the day of Ashura. So is hitting myself with sword and injuring myself is allowed?
> Â
> Answer:
> The Hussaini Sha’a’er, including TATBIR, are some of the RAAJIH issues.  TATBIR is a MUSTAHAB deed, unless it leads to death, loss of limb, or loss of faculties. (RAAJIH means MUSTAHAB that could become WAJIB depending on the circumstances - translator.) .
> Â
> Question:
> What is your opinion regarding hitting the head with sword â€" TATBIR â€" on the day of Ashura whether or not it harms the individual?
> Â
> Answer:
> The most common and widely known opinion of the Fuqaha (scholars) is that the desirability (of TATBIR) is in it not being extremely harmful.
> Â
> Question:
> If one engages in the program of TA’ZIAH for Imam Hussain (AS), and goes on to serve the program of TA’ZIAH but does not do TATBIR, is he regarded as a sinner, who deserves to be humiliated?
> Â
> Answer:
> TATBIR is a desirable act, and a MUKALLAF â€" i.e. one who has reached the adolescence age and is duty bound â€" may forsake a desirable act. It is not allowed to humiliate a Mu’min, and also one who does not do TATBIR may not humiliate or insult others, or accuse them (of false things).

> Â
> Answer:
> Yes that is proven.
> Â
> {Some of the famous references, which confirm the above report, are as follows:
> ·       Bihaar al-Anwaar; volume 45, page 114,

> ·       Al-Muntakhab; volume 2, page 478,
> ·       Nusrat-ul-Madhlum; page 18. Needless to say that ‘Allamah al-Majlisi â€" compiler of Bihaar al-Anwaar â€" and Sheikh al-Shari’ah al-Isfahani have confirmed the authenticity of the report.}

> ZANJEER OR QAMA ZANI ON ASHURA DURING MUHARRAM
> Question by Ahmed: My brother wants to do Qama on 20 Safar, he is following Ayatollah Sistani. Based on the misuse of Qama today, insincerity of many people, diseases spreading around, and political views can I stop him from doing Qama?
> Answer by Board of Istifa, Office of Grand Ayatollah Sistani: The main objective of mourning and lamentation during 'Ashura', is to respect the signs and symbols of religion and remember the suffering of Imam Hussain (as), his companions, and his uprising to defend Islam and prevent the destruction of the religion by Bani Umayyad dynasty. These rites must be done in such a way that in addition to serving that purpose, it draws the attention of others to these lofty goals. Also its ritual aspect should be preserved. So those actions which are not understandable for the enemies of Islam and non-Shia Muslims and causes misunderstanding and contempt for the religion must be avoided.
> Question by Zaeem Sherazi: I want to know the status of beating our backs with knives (ZANJEER) on the day of Ashura? What is it status in our Fiqh?
> Answer by Board of Istifa, Office of Grand Ayatollah Sistani: The philosophy of mourning during 'Ashura', is to respect the symbols of religion and remember the suffering of Imam Hussain (as), his companions, and his uprising to defend Islam and prevent the destruction of the religion by Bani Umayyad dynasty. These rites must be done in such a way that in addition to serving that purpose, it draws the attention of others to these lofty goals. So those actions which are not understandable and causes misunderstanding and contempt for the religion must be avoided.
> Ayatollah Khamenei: Practical Laws of Islam >> Religious Events
> Q1430: What is the view on beating the drum and cymbal, blowing the trumpet, and lashing oneself with chains with blades during the processions of the commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.)?
> A: If the use of such chains leads, in the eye of the public, to defaming our school of thought or inflicting a noticeable harmful effect on the body, it is not permissible. There is no harm in using the drum, cymbal, and trumpet in the traditional way.
> Q1439: Is there any basis in religion for piercing one's body with weights dangling therefrom, all in the name of commemorating the martyrdom of the Imam Husayn (a.s.)?
> A: These acts, which are, inevitably, bound to portray our school of thought in a negative shade, are impermissible.
> Q1449: In commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.) on the tenth of Muharram, some people hit themselves with a machete, or walk bare-footed on fire. Such actions defame Shi'ism and put it in a bad light, if not undermine it. They cause bodily and spiritual harms on these doing it as well. What is your opinion in this matter?
> A: Any practice that causes bodily harm, or leads to defaming the faith, is Haram. Accordingly, the believers have to steer clear of it. There is no doubt that many of these practices besmirch the image of Ahlul Bayt's (a.s.) School of Thought which is the worst damage and loss.
> Q1450: Is hitting oneself with swords Halal if it is done in secret? Or is your fatwa in this regard universal?
> A: In addition to the fact that it is not held in the common view as manifestations of mourning and grief and it has no precedent at the lifetime of the Imams (a.s.) and even after that and we have not received any tradition quoted from the Infallibles (a.s.) about any support for this act, be it privately or publicly, this practice would, at the present time, give others a bad image of our school of thought. Therefore, there is no way that it can be considered permissible.
> After reading the above mentioned orders from two Great Ayatollah's of our times. People should start following the orders to safeguard Islam and to fail the propaganda of "Taghoot" and arrogant powers of this era against Shiites proving them "Crazy" & "Insane" people who beat themselves sometimes so hard even threatening their own lives. To see the propaganda of "Taghoot" by yourself to believe, please visit the below given link called as Ashura.
> As such the true form of Azadari (mourning) is relevant to Wilayat only. The Azadari seen mostly are a set of rituals which are done with the purpose of earning rewards, expressing love of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in the form of grief, or expressing condolence to his mother Fatima Zahra (s.a.). Whereas Azadari in its true sense is awakening of the Ummah to stand and protest against the Yazid of our age and denounce their cruel and harmful policies towards Islam, and this spirit is very much lacking in our Azadari sessions, and this can only be enlightened through the Wilayat of the righteous, that is the Ulama (Faqih) during the occultation of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.).
> As far as mourning is concerned and getting attention of entire world, then it should be done very nicely with "beating chests and heads with hands" and with complete discipline in procession. All the people should participate with fully dressed in black cloths. Then definitely it will impress the entire world and will force them to accept us as a peace loving people. On the other hand people fear from Shiites when they see them doing Zanjeer Zani crazily and from head to toe covered with blood.
> Some people call it Mojeza (Miracle) of Imam Hussain (a.s.), that there is no infection out of the wounds of Zanjeer and Qama.
> As far as no infection with Zanjeer and Qama is concerned, shows the lack of knowledge regarding cultures and religions of world. National Geographic channel has shown many times that in some countries they do the same things which Shiites do and they neither feel pain nor infection after doing so. Hence they can also claim it as Mojeza. So, it has been decided that religion can not be practiced according to our assumptions and self-made thoughts instead we should commemorate true Azadri with its soul.
> Some says; this is an issue of Aqeeda, whereas Taqleed is forbidden in Aqeeda, so what concern we have with the Marjae's?
> This is one more ignorant question. Aqeeda (Usool example Tauheed) is belief, beliefs are always in the heart, when the beliefs get manifested in practical form it becomes Furoo (example Salaat), and all Furoo are controlled by laws of Shariah. Now love for Allah is Tauheed, but when the same love comes into action it become Salaat, which is Furoo, and Shariah will tell us the way of Salaat. In a similar way, the love of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is Aqeeda, but when the same love comes in practical form, it becomes Furoo (example Azadari) and has to be controlled by Shariah.
> As far as matter of Owais-e-Qarani is concerned, he didn't broke his teeth's deliberately but infact it was emotional act and was not pre-planned thing rather than it was unplanned and very quick as he heard the news of the Prophet's broken teeth's. So if we suppose that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) didn't object on it then even we can't relate it to Zanjeer and Qama Zani's permission. Because (1) we do this Zanjeer and Qama Zani pre-planned and we do it every year and Owais-e-Qarani did it only once so we can't make habit of it. (2) we see no continuation of such practice after Owais-e-Qarani, hence proving that its not desirable or Mustahab thing otherwise other companions (Sahabas) would have done it or after that any of companions of Aimma would have done it when hearing martyrdom of any Imam.
> Hence it is proved that we find no legal status of shedding blood deliberately and make a practice of it every year rather then we should try to find out the ways which Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) has done, don't forget after Imam Hussain (AS), we have the history of eight (8) Imams, its not less. Why sticks on the act of Owais-e-Qarani only hence try to prove baseless thing?
