Is there a certain way of preparing Taziya for Muharram that is more lawful than others?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is it lawful to prepare taziya in Muharram and to carry it on roads with drums and then dip it into river water finally (it is practiced in our area)?

Answer

(Fatwa: 139/102/D=1434)

It is bid’ah to erect taziya. It is shirk to do sajdah against it and to make a vow and give offering to it. It is major sin to beat drums. The ritual which is based on such major sins is obviously haram and shirk; thus it is not lawful for any Muslim to practice it in any case. It is wajib to avoid it and save others from it as per one’s capacity.
