Ahlulbyte (3):

Q1: What is the reward for mourning for AhlulBayt (a) as stated in the hadeeths and in the Holy Quraan?

A: There were narrations that encourage mourning the Ahlulbyte and show grief for what had happened to them. As an example, Imam Jafer al Sadiq (peace be upon him) used to recite - when he was prostrating a long supplication. He used to say: "O my Lord, have mercy on these hearts that mourned us and were burned because of the grief for us, O my Lord, have mercy on the eyes that were running tears for our tragedy .. etc".

Q2: Is turning to ahlulbayt in suplications mustahab?

A: It is permissible to seek the intercession of the ahlulbyte (peace be upon them) to answer the requests as it is one of the reasons to get the requests answered by the divine lord.

Q3: There are many recommended acts such as going to shrines of Ahlulbayte, if a person lives very distant from these places and can not reach their, does the recitation of Zyareh and salutation from far Equally well, Virtuous and acceptable?

A: There are no narrated texts from the Imams of the Ahlulbyte that explain such an issue and clarify it. However, It is good to recite the Zyareh from far away with the hope that it is recommended and then subject to rewards.
