Sistani's Najaf Office Marks Khamenei's Death With Qom Ceremony
The July 15 gathering after evening prayers drew Maraji' representatives and scholars from several countries to the Marja's Qom office.
- Ceremony held Wednesday, July 15, after Maghrib and Isha prayers at the Marja's office in Qom.
- Attendees included representatives of various Maraji' and seminary scholars and professors from multiple countries.
- Professor Naser Rafiei said millions marched in Karbala and Najaf for the funeral procession.
Why it matters: Najaf's marjaiyya never accepted rule by clerics that Tehran practices; sending mourners to Qom does not concede that old dispute.
