Asalaamu alikum brother Karbala,

I have been wanting to ask a question too, but I feel really shy asking it. I was actually hoping somebody else might, but I have not seen it addressed yet:

I dont know alot about Shia' customs, and I dont like to take CNN as a source of information. But I see every year at the new year time the Shia people have some kind of festival where they feel sorry about killing the Prophets grandsons and they hit themselves in the head and face alot until they are all bloody.

Could you please explain this ritual and what is the reasoning behind the actions?

Also, I wanted to ask if it is common among the shia people to practice the pleasure marriage?

Jazak Allah khairn brother, Allah hafiz.
