Re: Praying on coal practice, is it Shia thing? (Split from Taliban atrocities thread
Shia strike their body with chains while some walk with bare feet on burning coals. Crying “hai Hussain hum na rahe”, meaning ‘Oh Hussain, we were not there’, they express their anguish at their in ability to have prevented him from being tortured. By beating themselves, the Shiahs relive the pain Hussain suffered and thus express their sorrow
“He is not from our group who slaps his checks, tears his clothes and cries in the manner of the people of jahiliyyah.” (Sahih Bukhari)
All the authentic jurists are unanimous on the point that the mourning of this type is impermissible. Even Sayyidna Husain, Radi-Allahu anhu, shortly before his demise, had advised his beloved sister Sayyidah Zainab, Radi-Allahu anha, at not to mourn over his death in this manner. He said, “My dear sister! I swear upon you that in case I die you shall not tear your clothes, nor scratch your face, nor curse anyone for me or pray for your death.” (Al-Kamil, ibn Kathir vol. 4 pg. 24)

Fire walking. This is done to imitate the women and children of Imaam Hosayn and his supporters running on burning tents when they were set alight, and to share some of their pain. Fire walking is the most important of al -Sha’aer al - Hosayniyyah, in the sense that it demonstrates the holiness and closeness of Imaam Hosayn to Allaah in such a way that anything related to him is an exception in the world, even fire does not burn in his
mourning. People who walk on burning coal, have not had any physical or psychological training preparing them for such a tusk, but when they walk on fire their feet are not burnt as they would do in other fire walks. In some cases there may
be one or two blisters but they do not hurt as normal blisters do, and heal exceptionally fast. Sometimes, when items of clothing such as socks, if worn, come in contact with fire, they do not burn, and even small hairs on the feet and toes are
not effected by the intense heat and fire
