Are Some Imams Infallible?
Respected scholars, as-salamu`alaykum I have a question about the concept of infallibility regarding the Shiite concept of the imam. I am not Shiite, but I live with a brother who is. I have tried to read around this topic in the Qur’an and Hadith but I cannot see where it originated from. I thought the idea of infallibility was something only obtainable by the prophets, so how can they attribute such qualities to an imam?they also believe that the imam is divinely chosen. Where is the evidence for this? Can we reach the level of infallibility? Jazakum Allahu Khayran.
