The sad first month of the Islamic calendar during which the family of the Holy Prophet were faced with a great ordeal and tragedy.

^^ The Zanjeer tradition ... not the saff..... but since you agreed on saff , then i guess both... hmmm... i think we should do some research.
Sunni's are sooo against Zanjeer and saff. they call it SHIRK.

Paganism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "a country dweller" or "civilian") is a term which, from a western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices of natural or polytheistic religions. The term can be defined broadly, to encompass many or most of the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This group may include some of the Dharmic religions, which incorporate seemingly pagan characteristics like nature-veneration, icon-veneration, polytheism and reverence of female deities, and are thus diametrically opposite to the Abrahamic faiths. Ethnologists avoid the term "paganism", with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as shamanism, polytheism, or animism. The term is also used to describe earth-based Native American religions and mythologies, though few Native Americans call themselves or their cultures "pagan". Historically, the term "pagan" has usually had pejorative connotations among westerners, comparable to heathen, infidel, and mushrik and kafir (كافر) in Islam. In modern times, though, the words "pagan" or "paganism" have become widely and openly used by some practitioners of certain spiritual paths outside the Abrahamic and Dharmic religious mainstream to describe their beliefs, practices, and organized movements.[1]

I am sure as long as you are not defaming anyone it should be legal. Basically don’t mentioned names or description of the person and you should be fine.

My apologies for the delay. I had forgotten to post the answer

He said ha when saff is being done, and a netrual person passes by and sees the saff, what would be his opinion? I the saff is such that the passerby feels that some people are lamenting and mourning then it is ok. but if the passerby sees them to be "dancing" or doing it in jest then it is not ok.

What I gather from that answer is that an objective reasonable person test needs to be applied. This means when a reasonable person with no prior views or opinions about saf mataam, sees it being performed, what does he think of it?

Well when such a test is applied I see no question that a reasonable man would see it as an expression of mourning and nothing else.

ignorant are those who thing their words are more important that mujtahids and islamic scholars. In fact such people are hypocrite..
If WOMEN looking at Men doing Zanjeer ???? is Prohibited by your marja then follow them , If they said allowed ...then obey them..

I have not seen any mujtahid prohibited this till today. Then who is this ignorant mr muhammad who do not have anyother work except to target azadari practice and defending yazeed laeen...
