Who are the Ahlulbayt? A Shia Perspective by Shaykh Mohammed Abu Ja’far (Part 1 of 4)

‘Who are the Ahlul Bayt?’ Some of the Shia points of the discussion presented by Shaykh Mohammed  Abu Ja’far. 

- The wives of the prophet are considered to be part of the ‘Ahlul Bayt’  in a more general meaning of the term, whereas the more specific meaning of the term is limited to the five, and this is backed by the different narrations e.g. the event of Mubahila.  

- Both Shia and Sunni accept the Ahlul Bayt as role models and sources of guidance.
