Fatwa of A.Muhammad Sadiq Rouhani (may Allah Almighty protect him):
To do Qama-Zani is a very good act indeed, and to perform Qama-Zani in public enhances the excellence of this act, and if one is harmed in the process, the reward (Thawab) for this act will be increased even further. One of the things that I regret not doing is that I did not have the honour to perform this great practice, and now that I am old and frail, I am unable to perform it. In any case, from all the people who have had the honour to perform this religious symbol I wish to ask them to pray for me after performing Qama-Zani. Stamp of the office A.Muhammad Sadiq Rouhani:

Fatwa of A.Langaroudi (may Allah Almighty protect him):
Salaam upon the Lovers of Imam Hussain In our opinion since Aba-Abdillah al-Hussain alayhis-salam is Thar-Allah, the Blood of Allah, then it would be appropriate, but in fact imperative that for the Blood of Allah, the blood of the creatures of Allah is shed. Therefore not only Qama-Zani is permissible, but it is also regarded as one of the Sha'a'er and it has great, and extensive Thawab (reward). It is honour and good for the Hussaini Lovers who participate in this beautiful and honourable act, since Qama-Zani is one of the Sha'a'er. Needless to say that to practice this Sha'a'er in public is better. Salaam be upon the Righteous Lovers (of Imam Hussain) and upon all the Righteous servants of Allah.

Fatwa of A.Sayyid Sadiq Shirazi (may Allah Almighty protect him):
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim To perform Qama-Zani, whether in secret or in public, and other kinds of Azadari for Sayyid al-Shuhada Aba-Abdillah al-Hussain - may my soul be his sacrifice and peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - brings about the pleasure of Allah Almighty as well as Imam Mahdi - may Allah hasten his reappearance - InSha'Allah. {And he who glorifies the Sha'a'er of Allah, surely it is from the piety of the hearts.} [The Holy Qur'an: Ayah 32 of Surah al-Hajj].
