Abstract :

There are many narrations regarding the virtue and the command to mourn Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) from the Messenger of Allah and the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) from the two sects and the great jurists have always emphasized mourning for him. The scope of the narrations of this issue and the intensity of its importance and emphasis by religious leaders led to re-examination of the evidence of this issue with the aim of finding the real ruling on Imam Hussain against Islam. The results showed that the principle of believing in the legitimacy of crying and mourning for his Prophet is one of the essentials of religion, not religion, and doing it on the basis that it is generally an example of the verse of mawaddat and the obligation of tawalli, like other examples of obligations, becomes obligatory, and just as there is no example of Titles of obligations due to the fact that the example of that obligation is not limited to that case, it is not outside the scope of obligation and it is not recommended. The love of crying for him does not go out of the scope of duty. This is while many specific evidences from the innocents show that there is no example like crying over Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) for mercy and forgiveness (other than the principle of belief in the Imamate and the necessity of knowledge of the Imams and believing in the assumption of obedience of the innocents). It has not been established and the Shariah's insistence on making a prayer for him does not leave an excuse for the oblige of the believer.
