Original Note:
This is "Kharrah Mali". This tradition is done by the Shia to mourn the death of the grandson of prophet Muhammad. Although Shia classify themselves as muslims, this tradition is an innovation and has nothing to do with islam. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2017/oct/02/iran-shia-muslims-mud-rubbing-kharrah-mali-ashura-in-pictures
