'What do the ulama say about a person who builds the taziyah himself with the intention of reward and considering it an act of worship and also exhorts others to build taziyahs, stands when he sees taziyahs, recites fatihah upon them, walks bare footed alongside taziyahs to honour them and has elegies recited.'

Then some have fairies, burāq and futile grandeur. Then it is paraded from place to place to renew sorrow and self flagellation occurs around it and forbidden elegies and ululation. Some bow to it for salutations, others circumambulate and some prostate to it.' (FR 21:423)
