Question:When did Twaireej Jogging start?

Answer:In the name of Allah, we do not have a source which specifies the exact year or day. However, it seems from the events and interaction of this Jogging that it is very old. I think (Allah knows) it started after the oppression of Banul Abbas over Ahlulbait (PBUH) decreased and their enemies decreased their hostility against them and against performing the rituals. Its history is not important. What is important is its continuation in reviving the tragedy. Allah knows best.

Question:What is your opinion about “Twaireej Jogging” in terms of Sharia and practice?

Answer:/ In the name of Allah, it revives the incident which hurts the Shia of Imam Hussein (PBUH) because he was killed and they are not able to be blessed with martyrdom with him (PBUH). It also revives the memory that the martyrs of Taff had a delayed burial because of the oppression of Omar Ibn Saad and his mean master Obaidullah Ibn Ziyad. Actually, “Twaireej Jogging” is a brilliant way which reveals the loyalty of Shia to Imam Hussein and their dedication for Imam Hussain’s (PBUH) love. It also shows their sadness that they are not blessed with being with Imam Hussein (PBUH) to support him and not blessed with being martyred with him. Therefore, the scholars advocated it and none of them suspected its glorification. Thus, may Allah be pleased with whoever does this ritual and revolts for Ahlulbait (PBUH). Allah is the all Guide.
