11.Ayatullah Syed Mirza Al Khurasaani Al Ha'eri

"Performing Azadari-e-Imam Hussain (AS)----all of this is from the desired sources of nearness to Allah, a great success and eternal reward in this world and the hereafter, and whatever has been said or written against it, it is nothing but venom spitting of Ummayad and enmity of marvanis. Revival of sha'air's (signs) respect is the promotion of Islam, presevation of Islamic signs and manifestation of Islamic lights."

12.Ayatullah Syed Muhammad Jawad Tabatabai Tabrezi

When Ayatullah Jawad was asked about the legality of marasim-e-azadari (zanjeer zani, quma zani and talwar zani) he replied in these words:"It appears from the repetition of such type of issues and questions that enemies of Islam have got it that marasim-e-sogawari (mourning rites) of Hazrat Imam Hussain ibn-e-Abi Talib(AS), in what ever manner they are, are the more effective means for Islam's greatness, magnificence and protection. For that very reason enemies of Islam are making ambush and worrying and thinking to snatch this great dawat (invitation) from the people, and stop the everlasting promotion of sha'a'ir-e-Hussaini by creating baseless, absurd, silly and unreasonable doubts. Our buzurg Masha'ekh and Maraje were also asked these questions before us. So they have given quite clear fatawa (verdicts) for the legality of these amoor, which have been printed and published for several times and these fatawa give the message to understand the greatness of sha'a'ir-e-Hussain (AS). Me, also support and agree with them in these amoor".

13.Ayatullah Al Uzma Muhammad Bin Al Mehdi Hussaini Sherazi

" Azadari of Imam Hussain (AS) is the very base of our religion and we want to protect Islam through it. Azadari rites are the sources of salvation for weak and helpless people from tyrant rulers. In whatever manner, sha'air-e-Hussaini are, they are superior and source of sawaab (reward)"

14.Ayatullah Ali Al Hussain Al Asfahani Al Faani

"When to cause wounds on the body is absolutely not haraam then how the zanjeer zani on back would be haraam. Reports say that Fatimi holy ladies tore their garebaan to shreds and wounded their faces on the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS).
We consider matam and sha'air-e- Hussainia the nearest means for nearness to Allah Almighty and reaching towards Rasool (peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny) and Aaimmah Huda (AS) because through it the mission of these sinless guides get revived. Thrive ness of divine message and promotion of Ahkaam-e-sharia is the fruit of performing Sha'air-e-Hussaini. It creates unity and harmony in the ranks. I consider these sha'a'ir a reply to istaghasa-e-Imam-e-Mazloom (AS)"

15.Ayatullah Al-Uzma Aqae Al Haaj Syed Muhammad Sadiq Roohaani

"There is no ambiguity in seena zani and slapping on the face to this extent that they (chest and face) turned red or black and even blood comes out, similarly there is also no doubt in performing zanjeer zani on the back. A hadith of Saadiq-e-Aale Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon them) goes: garments/collar (garebaan) should be tore to shreds and face should be slapped for a martyr like Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS). Those who are connected and related with shia community, all marasim-e-aza including seena zani and zanjeer zani etc are obligatory upon them. Believe me, the harp on the same tune that seena zani, zanjeer zani are not correct, is the preaching of ulema-e-soo and strangers who have sold themselves just for some coins.
Azadari is an effective weapon against oppression. Azadari processions are a source from among the Hussaini sources and a gate from among the gates of Heaven (Jannat). Qayaam of Syed-ush-shuhada (AS) and His sacred sacrifices happened to be the source of religion's revival after its destruction. If it was not being done then there would be nothing remained of Islam but its name and of Quran but just a written thing."  

16.Ayatullah Sheikh Muhammad Raza Tibsi Nahfi

"All marasim-e-aza are not only legal but also desirable and obligatory. For more details of this issue the fatwa of ayatullah Na'eni, given in response of questions of people of Basra, may be consulted, and which has been supported and confirmed by all of his pupils and contemporary scholars.
All rites of azadari are religious signs (sha'a'ir), and to respect sha'a'ir Allah is a sign of piety of hearts."

17.Ayatullah Syed Muhammad Waheedi Tabrezi

" Khanjer zani, zanjeer zani and seena zani are legal if there is no certainty of death in these. A very famous report goes that Aqeela-e- Bani Hashim (AS) had wounded her forehead in azadari. This deed of Masooma (AS) removes all types of ambiguities.
It should not be hidden that in praising Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS), describing the factors of His Qayaam (coming out), lamenting over His (AS) sufferings, and in holding majalis such a great reward lies that the tongue and pen are unable to describe it. To respect the Azadari rites is a religious want and a source of reward. Weak and helpless of the world could be get freed by virtue of these azadari rites."

18.Ayatullah Al Uzma Sheikh Muhammad Hussain Gharvi Asfahani

" There is no proof for the unlawfulness of marasim-e-azadari that are in practice in azadari processions (it means performing marasim-e-azadari is legal) even there is also no evidence for the unlawfulness of zanjeer zani (it means it is also lawful) with this condition that it would not cause death. For example those who know how to use these, for them it is legal. All marasim-e-aza are legal rather they are rewarding.
Why these Azadari rites would not be the source of reward, hence just Azadari-e-Mazloom-e-Karbala (AS) and its rites have been the only and only source of unity of the nation, propagation of religion and promotion of Kalma-e-Haq in the past, present and will be in future." 

19.Ayatullah Hasan Qummi Tabatabae

"Majalis-e-Azadari are the only source which gathers the people on a platform and make them aware of religious teachings."

20.Ayatullah Al Uzma Syed Asad Ullah Moosavi Dazfoli

"Azadari rites cause honour, dignity and respect. They are national sign and from among those important Sha'a'ir, Aaimmah (AS) had again and again advised for. Mission-e-Masumeen (AS) is alive due to these azadari rites, and lesson of qayaam-e- haq against Baatil lies in it. In fact maraasim-e-aza (azadari rites) is Maktab-e- hle Bayt (AS)."
