'''[[Tatbir]]''' (Arabic: {{ia|التطبير}}) or '''Qama Zani''' (Farsi: {{ia|قمهزنی}}) is a mourning practice by some Shi'as, in which they beat their heads with a sword or qama so that it bleeds. The practice became common from about the 10th/16th century, and is practiced today in some countries, including [[Iraq]], [[Lebanon]], [[India]], and sometimes [[Iran]]. | |||
Proponents of tatbir see it as a ritual of Ashura and a means for the reinforcement of Shiism, and its opponents believe that it is a superstition undermining and defaming Shiism. | Proponents of tatbir see it as a ritual of [[Ashura]] and a means for the reinforcement of Shiism, and its opponents believe that it is a superstition undermining and defaming Shiism. | ||

[[Sayyid Muhsin al-Amin]] published a work in critique of tatbir for the first time. And in 1414/1994, [[Sayyid 'Ali Khamenei]], the Supreme Leader of the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]], gave a speech against tatbir.
