Question

During this observance, Sakineh’s voice narrates much of the nowheh (“NO-heh”) poetry performed by girls. A central voice in poetic narrations during this observance is that of a woman who became the spiritual “conqueror of Damascus” after she addressed its court after the Night of the Dispossessed. Women’s gatherings during this observance occur in places called zaynabiyyeh. (-5[1])Vocalizing during this observance displays (10[1])solidarity (10[1])with a historical jihad, so an imam will intercede on the Day of Judgment for the people, often women, (10[1])who ritually weep during it. Ta’ziyeh (10[2])are reenactments (10[2])of the event (10[2])commemorated by this observance, (10[1]-5[1])which also (10[1])involves matam, (10[1])or chest-beating. (10[1])The permissibility of tatbir, or self-flagellation, (10[3])during this observance is contested. For (-5[1])10 points, Āshūrā’ takes place on the tenth day of what month-long observance, during which Shias mourn the martyrs (10[1])of the Battle of Karbala? (-5[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: mourning of Muharram [accept Azadari; accept Sogvari; accept Aza-e-Hussain; accept Āshūrā until read; prompt on grieving Husayn or commemorating Husayn or remembering Husayn or similar answers; until “Karbala” is read, prompt the dead from Karbala in place of “Husayn”]
