The collective Arbaeen pilgrimage, as a social norm of the Arbaeen visit, which is itself a cognitive element and the underlying layer of pure Shia culture, has numerous social and civilizational functions that are beneficial and essential not only for the Shia community but also for the human society. However, it should not be overlooked that fundamentally significant and impactful events in human society are equally susceptible to harm and may face obstacles that threaten their influence; this is because those with excessive demands stand against phenomena that hinder their individual and group interests and attempt to obstruct and damage their effectiveness if possible. The collective Arbaeen pilgrimage, as a significant cultural-social phenomenon, is no exception. This research aims to examine this phenomenon with a pathological approach, relying on the observations of the author and other researchers from the Arbaeen community, and present the findings to cultural scholars and policymakers. Some of the mentioned damages may serve as warnings and future studies to sensitize pilgrims and cultural policymakers to protect this valuable Hussaini blessing according to their responsibilities. Additionally, based on events and behaviors observed within the Arbaeen community and its vicinity, using the participatory observation method and gathered data, it was found that this great ritual phenomenon faces or may face in the future, challenges such as superficial ritualism, cultural discord and fragmentation, time limitations, and lack of continuity.
