A question regarding the mourning days of martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her)

Salam Alaikum

Meanwhile, I would like to give my condolences regarding the days of mourning of martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her), the beloved daughter of Prophet Mohammad (may peace be upon him), which are the most preferable days of mourning for the martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her) since the exact date of the martyrdom is not confirmed? What kind of mourning is highly recommended during these grievous days?

Thank you

Regarding the specific date of martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her) there are many statements and sayings mentioned in books, however the one which is most favorable and widely acceptable by Islamic scholars are in the months of Jamadi Al – Awwal and Jamadi Al – Thani (Fatimiyeh Awwal and Fatimiyeh Thani), it is recommended that Shias should mourn for the Martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her) from thirteenth of Jamadi Al – Awwal till third of Jamadi Al – Thani, and should express their grieves and condolences towards the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon Him) and His Holy Household (peace be upon Them) by organizing mourning ceremonies and gatherings and should restrain ourselves from things which can waste away our mourning’s.

The best way of mourning, which should be expressed and told in every period of time, is by quoting the virtues, excellences of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her) and adversities took place on Her (peace be upon Her), and by remembering Her etiquettes and Her defense from our oppressed Imam Ali (peace be upon Him), the commander of believers (peace be upon Him).

Inshallah, believers will pay respect and honor Her by grasping the teachings of Quran and the holy household of Prophet (peace be upon Him), specially the practicing and pious ladies should make Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon Her) their ideal and role model by preserving their veil (Hijab).

Lotfullah Saafi
