Claiming love for the Household of the Prophet and what is required of one
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it required of one who claims to love the Household of the Prophet to perform certain actions? And what is your opinion of some who claim this under the name of loving the Household of the Prophet?
Answer:
Loving the Household of the Prophet and loving the Companions is obligatory for every Muslim. The kinship of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with them gives them a right, without doubt, the right of kinship.
But without exaggeration and believing in their blessing, that they fulfill needs, and that they are not to be honored, respected, emulated, prayed for, or sought to be pleased with. As for exaggeration and excess toward them, this is not permissible, not in the case of the Companions, not the Household of the Prophet, nor anyone else.
Exaggeration is not permissible,[Al-Ma'idah 5:77] exaggeration is not permissible, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:875.
