Love for Pure Offspring is farḍ (compulsory)

O devotees of the Companions and Ahl al-Bayt! Remember! Love for the pure offspring of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is a part of faith. Therefore, it is wājib (necessary) upon all of us to love and have devotion for all the sons and daughters of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم from Imam Ḥasan and Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُما to all the esteemed Ahl al-Bayt present today, and to respect and honour them.

Allah Almighty states in the noble Quran:

قُلْ  لَّاۤ اَسْـَٔلُکُمْ عَلَیْہِ  اَجْرًا  اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّۃَ  فِی الْقُرْبٰی ؕ

Say, “I do not ask you for any recompense for ˹the message˺, except love for ˹our˺ kinship.”^[2]

Imam al-Baghawīرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه  writes:

One meaning of this noble verse is that (O people! I teach you Islam, I convey to you goodness for your worldly life and the Hereafter), I do not ask you for any reward or recompense for this. However, I advise you regarding the love of kinship. From this, it is known that love for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the love for his relatives are among the farḍ (compulsory) duties of faith.^[3]
