Question:

Salaamunalaikum,

In one of the hadiths Prophet of Allah Muhammad Rasulullah alayhissalaam mentions Salman al Farisi (Allah be pleased with him)is infact Salman al Muhammadi and Prophet AS calls him member of Ahlulbayt. By the same standard and methodology, anyone who loves Prophet and his family are his family. Each one has the right and responsibility to defend the honor and respect of the family of Prophet and standing up against oppressors for the family of Prophet and against misinterpretation of Word of Allah. Mukhthar' s action and methodology are perfectly with in the Allah's Book of law.
