Tying strings and ribbons on tombs
Wa ʿalaykum as-Salam:
I need to
know what the reasoning is for people who tie string
and knots at the Dargahs. I know that they do it for
help, but is there any connection with Islam.
I, too, saw this practice done on the shrines of
celebrated Muslims in the Middle East, but more heavily
so in shrines visited by Shiʿis.
I have no idea from where this practice originates
and even less of the rationale behind it.
The etiquette around graves is to act with the same
deference one would if the person visited were alive.
Such etiquette therefore excludes the tying of ribbons.
Allah grant us ittibaʿ and save us from ibtidaʿ.
If Allah grant me life to typeset my work on the shrines
of Iraq - Allah protect her - you will see there a
sizeable section on the reasons and etiquette of visitation
according to the most noble Prophetic Sunna.
