				question
		Is it possible for Imam Zaman to ever commit a sin, no matter how small?
		Concise answer
			According to the Ahlul-Bayt’s school of thought, Imam Zaman holds the high rank of infallibility (‘ismah) and is an infallible (ma’sum). The ma’sum is one who through Allah's (swt) grace is free from all impurity, sin, forgetfulness and error.
