من هو مؤسس المذهب الزيدي؟
Zaidiyyah or Zaidism ( "az-zaydiyya", adjective form Zaidi or Zaydi) is one of the Shia sects closest in terms of theology to the Ibadhi and Mutazila schools. Zaidiyyah emerged in the eighth century out of Shi'a Islam. Zaidis are named after Zayd ibn ʻAlī, the grandson of Husayn ibn ʻAlī and the son of their fourth Imam Ali ibn 'Husain. Followers of the Zaydi Islamic jurisprudence are called Zaydi and make up about 42% of Muslims in Yemen, with the vast majority of Shia Muslims in the country being Zaydi.
