The Status of Yazid's Leadership & Imam Hussain's Stance Against Him: A Shia Perspective by Shaykh Jaffar Ladak (Part 2 of 3)

Shaykh Ladak outlined the Shia stance on Yazid and Imam al-Hussain’s rising, and that the Shia hold Yazid directly accountable for the killing of al-Hussain. He outlined the Shia theological stance towards Yazid’s status in the hereafter and justifications for why it is permitted to curse him. The practice of cursing, according to Shaykh Jafar, is a positive means of staying away from sins and should not be taken as something negative.
