Is the issue of the imamate a matter of creed or jurisprudence?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the issue of the imamate mentioned in the original sources among the jurists or among the people of creed?

Answer:
All of them. The chapter on the imamate is mentioned in the books of creed and in the books of jurisprudence because of its importance. Jurisprudence mentions the rulings related to the imam. Creed mentions that obeying the rulers is one of the foundations of faith, and that appointing an imam is an obligation of the Muslim community; it does not remain without a ruler. Yes.
