Shi’ites have always paid attention to shrines and have made many constructions at the graves of divine saints. There are different opinions about the shrines' decoration and gilding. Some believe that it is undesirable to spend money on decoration, based on the traditions of prohibiting mosques decoration and the traditions of avoiding extravagance and promoting simple living. This group also emphasizes the priority of eliminating poverty and strengthening the economic foundation of the Islamic society. On the other hand, the supporters have cited the verses and traditions related to the honoring of rituals and the construction of mosques and shrines. They consider decoration as a tool to strengthen religious and cultural identity, create a spiritual atmosphere and pay attention to the purposes of religion. This research was carried out in a library and descriptive-analytical method and its achievements show that it is desirable to decorate shrines in moderation according to the needs of pilgrims and its social and political effects.
