Pearl of Wisdom

Imam 'Ali (AS) relates, 'The Prophet (SAWA) dispatched troops [to a mission]. On seeing the returning armies from the battlefront, he said, 'Blessed are those who have performed the lesser jihad, and have yet to perform the greater one.' When asked, ?O Messenger of Allah, what is the greater jihad?' the Prophet replied, 'The jihad of the self, and added, 'The best jihad is that of one who combats his own self that is between his two sides.'

Question: Dear Sir,

What is the ruling of Ayatulla Sistani with regards to inflicting wounds on ones body and head during azadari since I have been dissuaded by some learned people from indulging in such acts as it projects the Shia in bad light with regard to hygine and that it is not supported by the Quran. Please remove my doubts.
