The Shia claim that their Imams are here to explain the religion and preserve the guidance which was revealed on the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam), this is what they tell us but does it stop here or do these Imams go further and act like 12 Prophets?

كتب الشيخ جعفر السبحاني في كتابه مفاهيم القران ج1 تحت عنوان: الشيعة وفكرة حق التشريع للأئمة
” نشر الكاتب إبراهيم السليمان الجهمان مقالا في مجلة «الدعوة» تحت عنوان «مزاعم طائفة الشيعة» جاء فيه بأكاذيب وافتراءات على هذه الطائفة هم برآء منها، ومما جاء فيه: أن الشيعة تزعم أن للأئمة حق التشريع والنسخ (أي نسخ الأحكام).إن هذا إلا افتراء وكذب ألصقه بهم هذا الكاتب غير المكترث بما يقول “

Sheikh Ja’afar al-Subhani a famous Shia scholar defends his sect in the book “Mafaheem al-Qur’aan” volume 1 under the chapter “The shia and the idea that the Imams have the right of Tashri’i”He says: “The writer Ibrahim Suleiman has published an article in a magazine called “al-Da’awah” under the title “Maza’im Taefat al-Shia” in which he collected lies and falsehood from which our sect is innocent, and from what he wrote is: “The Shia claim that their Imams have the right of Tashri’i and Naskh” This is nothing but lies from this irresponsible writer”

Let me try to explain the terms here so that you’d understand what that irresponsible writer was attributing to the Shia sect:

Tashri’i = Announcing new religious laws.
Naskh = Abrogating old religious laws.

The writer claimed that the Imams have the right to announce and establish new religious laws and to abrogate and cancel out old laws which are already established.

Now to see who is the irresponsible liar I will quote both al-Sistani and al-Khoei:
