Answer: Covering mosques with black and wearing black clothes during the mourning days of the family of Infallibility and Purity (peace be upon them) for the purpose of honoring the divine symbols and expressing grief and sorrow results in the attainment of divine reward; in any case, the dislike of wearing black clothes outside of prayer is not established. Answer: Striking during mourning is not permissible if it causes significant harm to the body or leads to the disparagement of the religion, the believers, or the mourning ceremonies of the Infallibles (peace be upon them); in any case, it is better for the believers to observe the dignity of the mourning ceremonies of the Infallibles (peace be upon them), especially the leader and master of martyrs, Abu Abdillah al-Husayn (peace be upon him). Answer: Organizing mourning processions for the Master of Martyrs and his companions (peace be upon them) and participating in such ceremonies is a very commendable and desirable matter; it is among the greatest deeds that bring a person closer to God. However, one must avoid any action that causes annoyance to others or is inherently forbidden (haram) from a Sharia perspective. Answer: Shaking hands between a man and a non-mahram woman and touching the body of a woman by a non-mahram man is sharia-forbidden, and refraining from this act by stating that such behavior is part of the religious commands of Islam will not be perceived as an insult to the other party in any way; Muslims are obliged to prioritize the performance of their religious duties over all their affairs and must not abandon an obligatory duty or commit a forbidden act under any pretext.
