jasimisbest is right. In real life, on the ground, i found almost all of the zaidis ridiculing 12vers and their mullas constantly in saudi. These were saudi zaidis. They were quite happy to sit within Sunnis and pray with them, but hated the 12vers to the point that they did not even want to look at them.
they are close to Shia... They dont like Hazrat Muwawiya rda They respect the decision of Hazrat Abu bakar rda being the 1st calipha but believe that hazrat ali rda deserved to be the first. They dont practice MUTA like 12vers....
Salams, I’ve heard that the Zaidi Shias are closest to the Sunni's in their belief and practices, and that they do not give divine attributes to their Imams nor do they believe in the occultation of Imams and I have heard that they live in Yemen. Can anyone clarify on Zaidi Shias and their beliefs please?
