Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:I have never seen a Shia woman do all 4 of those things. Shia women wear white while they are in Ihram (I know since I have been on Hajj last year). After they are freed of the obligations of Ihram they may wear black if they wish.
I did not say that shi’a women were wailing during Ihram, plus Muslim women are free to wear any color during Ihram, this is not the problem. The main issue is that women should not raise their voice loudly anywhere, they should not cry and touch the walls of AL Baqee’ and calling upon the dead for help or for any other reason. The Prophet pbuh never commanded us to do such things and so we should follow his footsteps in everything that he said or did.
Quote:Why it wrong for Shia women (and men) to cry in Masjid Nabawy? The calling out to dead people i assume is referring to Tawassul or Shafa'a (intercession), why do you think this is wrong?
Becuse Prophet Muhammad pbuh forbade us to do so, if there was any kind of Tawassul commanded in Islam, then we should have call upon Muhammad pbuh instead of Fatima, Ali, or any other righteous companion (may Allah be pleased with all of them). In fact the Prophet told us not to make out of his grave a place of worship or celebration, that we should only send prayers and blessings upon him. That’s it, but if we need to ask for help, we ask of Allah alone, otherwise you will be falling into the trap of Shirk. may Allah keep us always on His straight path. I advise you to read more about Tawheed to understand clearly what am talking about.
Quote:Is kissing the Quran wrong? Then why would kissing the gates if Ka'aba or Masjid Nabawy be wrong?
The Qur'an was not revelead to be kissed my brother, It was sent down to be our guidline in our lives. i dont remember that Prophet Muhammad pbuh kissed the Qur'an ever. The only thing we should kiss or touch is the black stone, simply because our beloved Prophet pbuh did so, if kissing the door of the Ka’ba (or anything else) was necessary or beneficial for our Ummah, the Prophet pbuh would have done it himself.
