Jurisprudence and Rulings

A report attributed to Anas ibn Mālik relates that Fāṭima (SA) asked Abū Bakr about the share of Dhū al-Qurbā in the khums and spoils of war mentioned in the Qur’an, and that Abū Bakr assigned it to the welfare of the Muslims. Although the report has a weak chain of transmission, it has been recommended that one rely on it and act upon it in the hope of divine reward. Other reports from Anas ibn Mālik concerning the merits of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are also mentioned.
