Assalam alaikum,
  I would like to tell you about your question because I asked a similar question to your from a mulana. I asked him why he wasn't doing matam after his speeches. He replied that sometimes the men go crazy and take their shirts off and there are women around them. So what's the point of doing matam when the women see you like that it is harram. But you can do it with your shirts on infront of women. I hope that helped you.

[Dhulfiqar]

I have several questions:

1. According to Shariah what should be the least that a male should cover?

2. If there are images of people doing matam like in a video, or photographs, and the men are 'strangers' (ie you can not tell them apart) does the ruling change?

Wa Salaam,
Dhulfiqar

if you are doing this act for the sake of Allah, i cant see how it would make any difference to just leave your shirt on and stop embarasing your selves and maintain the moral standards of the area.

[Matami-Shah]

and since when do we do matam for/to Allah

1. Private Part covering is sufficient i.e genitals and the anus is usually covered by the cheeks. But it is preferrable that a person covers from navel to kness however it isn't obligatory. Hence a person can wear jocks.

2. It's only forbidden to watch if it's done with lust.



Wassalaam

Well I think that it is saying of Masoom to wept on Ceptives of Sham and Martyreds of Karabalah as mother wept on death of his own son.
I don't think the mother well see anyones body movements and if any one did such then it her or his deed. We have to answer about our deeds.
Well about Isalm  men don't have ristriction of hijab and as far as our satar is concerned it is fullfilled even without shirts soo practice islam not culture

WHATS JOCKS??u mean socks??

i think that all women who participate in jalooses, should do the ziaraat of the zuljanah, alaaams etc..then go back inside...coz theres noway these women are not looking at the mens...ok not in a lustful way but i mean like looking gossiping laughin etc...

[Qamre_Bani_Hashim]

Actually without women, there is no Jaloos.  The Procession is symbolism to the women and children of Karbala being paraded (or processioned) in Shaam. If there are women that are laughing on the day of Ashura (or Gossiping) that's not our problem, they will have to answer to Bibi Fatima and when Imam Ali is giving out the shares of paradise he will know who was crying and who was laughing on the day his beloved son Husain was martyred.

We should not punish everyone for the ills of a select few.

Shirts on or off just doesn't matters.... just a sincere heart.... Aperson doin matam without shirt mus b having a sincere intention  and not for show-off... if he's doing it with the good intention... den wats wrong in dat???

Everything should be done for the sake of Allah (swt) and for those who do matam. Even that includes the sacrifice of Imam Husayn to become closer to Allah(swt).  It's not just for sake of Imam Husayn alone.....

Hello everyone,

Thats is the Mohabbat one has for Imams. I would like to request not to post any comments such as its haram or anything, as someone can be offended by this.

Contribute in your own way, if you want to beat yourself with shirts on, do so
and if you want to beat ure chest, without shirts,  go ahead.

but please critcize mat karo!

Thanks
Ali

I don't get you people making a mountain of a hill.

Everyone has there own way in expressing their feelings and love for Imam Hussain and his great sacrifice. A person doing matam for Imam Hussain with a shirt on isn't more better than the one who does matam without his shirt off, likewise. It's the way one would feel more comfortable and close to the Imam in his actions.

Women shouldn't be looking at the men's whilst doing matam in the first place, if they are then they will be answerable on the Day of Judgement.

Brother, there is no use in arguing with people who are still confused on the meaning matam.  These people are just insulting themselves.

Matam is keepign our religion alive, even after the sunni/wahabi mindset is infiltrating confused shia youth.  When a matamdar takes off his shirt, it is not immoral on his part, but it is haram on the part of the person to stare and ridicule.

since when do shias, or anyone else, care about others?  Only people who feel insecure care about what other people think.

mashallah

The "shias"  who are stating "its not allowed"  are basically out of their minds.  These people are forgetting the pain each member of the ahel-e-bait went through, do not realize how Bibi fatima is accepting the intention of a matamdar.
