What is Akhbari?
{{Islam}} The '''Akhbaris''' are a part of [[Twelvers|Twelverism]]. Unlike the [[Usuli|Usulis]] they follow only the [[Qur'an]] and [[Hadith]] as their source without ''aql'' (logic) and ''ijma'' (consensus). They reject the usoli version of ''ilm al rijal'' (Hadith science) and ''taqleed'' (following without proof) in ''ijtaihad'' (making rulings) to a fallible being. The term akhbari originated from the daughter of imam Al-Jawad calling the companions of the imams ''ashab al-akhbar'' companions of the ''akhbar'' (news).<ref>Kamal al-Deen Volume 1 Page 535</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Shia Islam]]
