What is akhbar?

Terms and word definitions as they relate to Islam.
[initially the terms are being brought over from our old board

We will also be adding new terms from time to time.

As with the old board if we have made a mistake defining or describing any of the terms please let us know.

What is akhbar?

copied from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhbar_(Shia_Islam)

In Twelver Shia Islam, Akhbar refers to the transmitting of hadith, which are traditions regarding the actions and teachings of the founder of Islam Muhammad, and his twelve successors. It is the foundation of Akhbari Twelver Shia Islam, which uses it to give rulings for fiqh, Islamic religious law.
