Fatimiyya: Difference between revisions

There is no specific period of time in Shi'a tradition for mourning and the popular titles of the "first 10-days" or the "second 10-days" of Fatimiyya in recent years has followed the tradition of the "first 10-days of Muharram" and there is no hadith or tradition recommending it. The great position of the Prophet's (s) daughter,her martyrdom defending [[Imam Ali (a)]] and her hardships are the reasons behind this tradition among Shi'a.

The time of these two 10-day periods is different in different cities but, usually according to the 75-day report, the second 10-days of  [[Jumada I]] (from 10th to 20th of  Jumada I) is called the "first 10-days" and based on the 95-day report, the first 10-days of [[Jumada II]] (from 10th to 20th of Jumada II) is called the "second 10-days" of Fatimiyya. Some grand Shi'a authorities have advised that in both 10-day Fatimiyya, three days should be dedicated to [[mourning ceremonies]]; so that, mourning ceremonies should be held on 13th, 14th and 15th of Jumada I in the first Fatimiyya time and 1st, 2nd and 3rd of Jumada II in the second Fatimiyya period.
