    The document discusses the permissibility of eating food made by Shiites for Ashoora. It notes that rituals associated with Ashoora like slapping cheeks and cutting heads are forbidden innovations. It is not permissible to participate in this or help those who do, as that would be cooperating in sin. Similarly, it is not permissible to eat food prepared for these innovations, as slaughtering animals for anything other than Allah is considered major shirk. However, if refusing their food could endanger one who is in Iraq, it is acceptable to accept the food to avoid harm. The document advises warding off danger, but participating in or helping with the rituals themselves is forbidden.

    Eating food that is made for Ashoora


    Is it permissible to eat the foods cooked by Shiites in Ashoora? They say that these foods are made for Allahs sake but its reward is for Al-Hussein, may Allah be pleased with him! It will be embarrassing if I do not accept this food. It may even expose me to danger, as I am in Iraq, and you know how Sunnis here are treated.

    Praise be to Allah. What the Shiah do on Ashoora of slapping their cheeks, striking and cutting their heads, shedding their blood and making special foods, is all bidah and reprehensible innovation, as has been explained in the answer to question no. 4033 and 9438. It is not permissible to take part in that, or to help those who do it, because that is cooperating in sin and transgression. And it is not permissible to eat this food that they have prepared for their innovation and misguidance.

    Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is an abhorrent evil and reprehensible innovation which must be abandoned; it is not permissible to take part in it and it is not permissible to eat the food that is offered. And he said: It is not permissible take part in it or to eat of these meats or drink these drinks [prepared for this occasion]. If the meat has been slaughtered for anyone other than Allah, among Ahl al-Bayt [the Prophets family] or anyone else, then it is major shirk, because Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): .Say (O Muhammad :) Verily, my Salaah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). 163.He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims [al-Anaam 6:162-163] Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad ) Al-Kawthar (a river in Paradise).

    2. Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only) [al-Kawthar 1-2] End quote from Fataawa al-Shaykh Abd al-Azeez ibn Baaz (8/320). But if your refusing to accept their food will pose a danger to you, then there is nothing wrong with accepting it so as to ward off harm. And Allah knows best.
