The tomb of Rafiq Hariri. People in Lebanon have been wondering why there is no monument erected at the tomb site of Rafiq Hariri. I am told that the reason is due to Hariri family's deference to Wahhabi doctrine, which forbids such measures. In fact, Ayatullah Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah recently expressed outrage at the razing of tombs (he was referring to the Wahhabi campaign in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere).
