1.Ustad-Ul-Fuqaha Wal Mujtahiddeen Ayatullah Al Uzma Muhammad Hussain Al Gharvi An Na'eni, former chancellor Hoza-e-Ilmiya, Najaf-e-Ashraf, Iraq

People of Basra asked Ustaad ul Fuqaha Ayatullah Al Uzma Muhammad Hussain Na'ini many questions about Sha'a'ir-e-Azadari. The most important question of those was concerning zanjeer zani and quma zani. Ayatullah Na'ini first explained the greatness and importance of Azadari in these words: 

"The coming out of Azadari processions on roads and paths in Ashra-e-Aashoor (ten days) and on other similar occasions is from among those amoor, in the legality of which there is no doubt. Rather this is the most evident source and most prominent inclination from among the mazahir of Azadari-e-Mazloom. It is the easiest way for the promotion of Imam Hussain's mission and Deen's completion." 

Afterwards he answered the query about Quma zani and zanjeer zani, which is as under: 

"(To commemorate Hazrat Imam Hussain A.S.) There is no ambiguity in slapping the face and beating the chest to this extent that they (face and chest) become red or black but also to perform zanjeer zani on the shoulders and back is legal. But if the blood appears or comes out due to slapping and beating, it's also lawful and right. As far as taking the blood out from forehead with swords etc is concerned, its legality is aqwa with the condition of being saved from harm and just to take the blood out from forehead with out causing harm to bone that is not harmful habitually. Because those who know how to use these (zanjeer, quma and sword) use it in such a manner which doesn't cause harm to the bone. If at the time of taking the blood out he is sure of being safe from harm and by chance gets harm then it will be like that person who performs ablution or takes bath instead of performing dry ablution (tayammam) for he thinks that water will not harmful for him or a person who keeps fast considering himself healthy and that keeping fast will not harm him, but afterwards water or fast appears to be harmful for him, this will not be Haraam. As a precautionary measure, only those perform it who could. And those, who being subdued with the love and grief of Ghareeb-e-Karbala could not know that where the zanjeer and sword is hitting, should avoid. May Allah give them firmness with qoal issaabit in this world and the hereafter."

2.Ayatullah Al Musleh Al Sheikh Muhammad Hussain Aal Kashif Ul Ghita

" The fatwa of Ayatullah Na'eni (Aalalahu maqamahu) is correct, insha Allah (God willing).
By God Azadari is the gate of ample blessings of Allah and a liberating boat (kashti-e-najat), which protects from every destruction and trouble. Who is he and what sort of power is that, which could shut this open gate of Divine blessings and intercept this great mean which leads towards Allah"

3.Ayatullah Al Uzma Syed Mohsin Tabatabae Hakeem

"The matalib being written by Ustaad-e-buzurg (great teacher) are quite clear, very obvious and unambiguous to this extent that there is no need of any further fatwa (verdict) for these amoor". 

4.Ayatullah Al Uzma Roohullah Khominie, Rahber-e-Inqalaab-e-Islami Iran

"life of nation lies in Azadari. Hazrat Imam Hussain(AS) granted salvation to Islam, and protected its eminence from being trampled by kissing martyrdom. So holding majalis-e-aza to commemorate Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS)'s martyrdom is a source of everlastingness and immortality of Islam. Those who oppose these majalis, oppose Islam. They are totally unaware of Islam's reality. It is Azadari-e-Syed-ush- Shuhada (AS), which has given protection to Islam till today. Seena zani (beating chest), nohay, lamentation and cries are the very secrets of our success."

5.Ayatullah Al Uzma Haaj Syed Abul Qasim Moosavi Al Khoie

" Whatever Ustaad-e-muhtaram (respected teacher) has written in reply of questions being asked by him from the people of Basra is correct. And it is legal to act upon this.
Performing azadari-e-Imam Hussain (AS) is a part & portion of His (AS) mission because declaring the zulm (oppression) of zalim (oppressor) and mazloomiyat of mazloom (oppressed) is exactly the Deen."

6.Ayatullah Al Uzma Gulpaigani

"Due to the blessings of Azadari, people get awareness of their rights. It is a source, by dint of which mission of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and the aim of Risaalat (prophet hood) is being revived. In fact Azadari is Deen (religion). The pure and sinless Aaimmah (AS) had said: "perform Azadari-e-Imam Hussain(AS) to stand against tyranny and despotism". This is Azadari which gave birth to the biggest revolutions, shaked the basis of palaces of tyranny of Umayyad rule, redressed the grievance of oppressed and rooted out the oppressor."

7.Ayatullah Al Uzma Mamqani

"These are the rites of Azadari, by virtue of which thousands of misled have become righteous." 

8.Ayatullah Al Uzma Haaj Syed Mohammad Haadi Meelani

" Azadari and its rites only are the most important means of promotion and thrive ness of deen. Which one is that pen which could duly and properly write down the supremacy, praise, virtues and the effects of His (AS) qayaam? Khandaan-e-Ismat-o- Taharat is a divine sign from among the divine signs and Imam Hussain (AS) is the mazloom son of that mazloom father that no one is there to take their qisas but Allah."

9.Ayatullah Al Uzma Syed Abdullah Sherazi

" There is no ambiguity in the legality of sha'a'ir-e-Hussainia (seena zani, zanjeer zani, talwar zani, matam on fire) even khanjer zani is also legal. So if there is no danger of death due to these, then they are not only lawful but also inclined and superior.
Rites of Azadari of Ahle-Bayt-e-Ismat-o-Taharat (AS) are from among the most important sha'air-e-deeniya (signs of deen) and are the excellent and most prominent deeds that will provide ground for more and more reward in Aakhira (the hereafter). These lead the whole Muslim nation in general and shia nation in particular towards the achievement of great success and creation of revolutions."

10.Ayatullah Al Haaj Syed Abdul Aala Sabzwari

" The respect, promotion and eternity of sha'air-e-Hussainiyat (Hussaini signs) is from among the most powerful and important means of liberation because Rites of Azadari are from sha'air Allah (signs of Allah)"
