Anyone who has truly studied the life of Imam Hussain and Hassan (radiAllahu anhuma) will know it as a fact that he never wanted his followers to do all this.
SELF HARM IS NOT A PART OF ISLAM.
Our bodies have a right upon us and it is a fact that on the day of judgement our bodies will speak and be a witness infront of Allah.
Our bodies are an amanah and gift from Allah. This is such massive abuse of soul and the body both.
Slapping someone on face is haraam. Cutting self, walking on coal and Self-Flagellation is downright haraam and a massive bi'dah and clear deviation from the religion of Prophet Muhammad (salallahu aleyhi wasallam).
SHAYTAN LOVES BI'DAH
"Innovation is more beloved to Iblees (Satan) than sin, since a sin may be repented from but innovation is not repented from."
- Sufyan Ath Thawree (ra)
Bid'ah (innovation) means "a newly invented matter".
