Arbaeen and its dedication to Imam Hussein

The presence of Ahl-al-Bayt of Imam Hossein on the 40th day of his martyrdom in Karbala is a matter of dispute; but at the same time, the pilgrimage of that Imam was ordered and emphasized in Arbaeen, and the Shiites, throughout history, have devoted much attention to it. Of course, there is a controversy about whether the Arbaeen ceremony is unique to Seyyed-al-Shohada, or that it can be held for other Ahl-al-Bayt, or other people, which it seems that holding it as shar’ei mostahab is only dedicated to Imam Hussein and it is also permissible for others. The aspects that can be considered for this dedication to Imam Hussein include: The statement, act, and verification of the infallible Imam on this pilgrimage, and veneration for his unique sacrifices and actions in preserving true Islam and spirituality in society, Maintaining the spirit of Confronting oppression and injustice in people and maintaining the prominence of the Ashura movement and not rendering it along with other mourning.
