Question:What is his Eminence’s opinion about the narrations which say that the place of putting and burying Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) head is with his father, the master of believers (PBUH)? Those narrations are found in Al-Kafi, Al-Tahtheeb and Kamil Al-Ziarat. Regarding the maqam of the head, is there a trace remaining there?

Answer:In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that there are different and contradicting narrations about the holy head. I have said many times that it is very difficult to assert the small details of the revolution of Imam Hussein (PBUH) without referring to Ahl Al-Bait (PBUH). The Awaited Imam (AJ) is the one who will clarify that and will point to the grave of his grandmother Al-Zahraa (PBUH), if required. Allah knows best.

Question:We are a group of people from Dewanyia province. We would like to ask your eminence a question. It is about a negative phenomenon in some areas, including where we live.

Then, they order to build a mosque (Maqam) for him where people come to ask for their needs and present vows (Nazir).
