In addition, the Imams are as infallible as the prophets and they have the power to declare anything halal or haram (pp. 8, 221, 26). Angels come and go to them (Ai, 135).

(7) It is obligatory to visit the tombs of imams and saints. The disbeliever who abandons the pilgrimage (Kitabu Kamaliya Ziyarah 163 p.).
(8) Visiting the grave of Husain (R) is better than performing Hajj and Umrah twenty times (Furul Kafi 1/324). (9) Imam Mahdi will rule the world according to the rule of the family of Dawood (AS) (Al-Kafi 1/396) (10) , No angel or prophet close to Allah has reached that status' (Al-Hukumatul Islamiyah 65 p.).
