Can polytheism (shirk) or disbelief (kufr) appear among the Prophet’s Household (Ahl al-Bayt), or are they exempt from that?

Among the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) household, there may be those who commit shirk (polytheism) and kufr (disbelief), such as his uncles Abu Talib and Abu Lahab, as well as those who do not affirm God's oneness and are atheists. Their lineage to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not grant them immunity from error and sin.
