Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 139/102/D=1434) It is bid’ah to erect taziya. It is shirk to do sajdah against it and to make a vow and give offering to it. It is major sin to beat drums. The ritual which is based on such major sins is obviously haram and shirk; thus it is not lawful for any Muslim to practice it in any case. It is wajib to avoid it and save others from it as per one’s capacity.
