This live performance was carried out in Lebanon. It shows a generalised scene of what happened in Karbala, during the month of Muharram year 61 of the Islamic Calendar, (October 680 A.D.)Further,The culture of mourning in different sources:Quran:The Holy Quran from the Chapter ADH-DHAARIYAAT we learn that Lady Sara (a.s.) struck her face when she was told that she would conceive a baby."Then came forward his wife in grief, she smote her face and said (what! I) an old barren woman?"Quran 51:29Thus it is evident that smiting the face was not an objectionable act in the sight of Allah, otherwise Allah would have reprimanded her for doing so.From respected Sunni sources:Hadhrath Aisha regarded by Ahl'ul Sunnah as the most knowledgeable woman on Qur'an and Sunnah performed the following when the Prophet (S) left this earth:As narrated by al Tabari in History Volume 9 page 183 (English translation by Ismail Poonawalla)Abbas narrates: "I heard Aisha saying "The Messenger of God died on my bosom during my turn, I did not wrong anyone in regard to him. It was because of my ignorance and youthfulness that the Messenger of God died while he was in my lap. Then I laid his head on a pillow and got up beating my chest and slapping my face along with the women".Need we say anymore? Would the wives of the Prophet (S) indulge in a Haraam activity?According to Musnad of Imam Ahmad Hanbal Vol. 6, page 274; Aisha mourned the demise of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) with other women by beating her head.
