Reconciling Ettiquettes of Visiting Imam Hussain, Tag: Ziyarat al-Hussain, Tag: Ghusl and Cleanliness, Tag: Mourning and Dustiness
How can we compensate between the recommended narrations of visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH). One says it is recommended to come with dust on hair and look like tired, whereas the other says it is recommended to visit him (PBUH) after a shower and ablution (wudhu’). Does the first one refer to the physicality or to spirituality like showing the sadness? If it refers to showing the sadness, then we can compensate by showing the sadness and cooing on ablution and ghusl. In this case, it is easy to compensate.
In the name of Allah, the narration recommending ghusl means that one should be clean, and may also mean that one should not primp by combing the hair, beard and the like. The narration recommending coming dusty means that one should tolerate dust and other things in the way to Imam Hussain (PBUH), as concluded from the speeches of the infallibles (PBUH). Allah knows best.
