The respected pilgrims should keep the mentioned below two points in their consideration.

1.The pilgrims should avoid performing any acts which can be misused by the enemies of the religion like prostrating while seeing the zarih and the holy grave. These type of acts are against the Will of Allah and the Holy Ahlul Bayt (AS) also disapprove them. It will also give excuse to the enemies of the Shi'ites to frame false and baseless allegations against them.

2.The women pilgrims should strictly observe the perfect Islamic hijab in the holy shrine and should avoid from wearing any type of indecent clothing or make up of the face which is against the norms of Islamic hijab.
