Abstract :

the overwhelming of Sunnite, like shi'a, have not fully discussed about the sentence of mourning for the dead (person), But they rather merely mentioned some examples and surveyed the corresponding sentence of those examples. Now question that arises would be: what is the sentence about mourning for the dead person from public viewpoint? In from Sunnite viewpoint three following examples are also consideredabout mourning on the dead: (Crying, sorrowing, tearing off the clothes, hitting the body, wounding down face) One of the theories regarding all these three examples is forbiddance, which means that, among Sunnite there are many people who have prohibited all three examples. However after studying the Sunnites' reasons, it is clear that the act of mourning for dead person is permissible by default. Therefore, in the present study, while criticizing and analyzing the different reasons we conclude that the sheer act of mourning for the dead person originally is permissible. Yes, it is true that they do not consider some of the examples of mourning permissible, such as tearing off the clothes, But this does not act as a disadvantage to the general provision that mourning is originally and by default justified and permissible.
