The answer

The love for the Prophet's household (Ahl al-Bayt), peace and blessings be upon him, is one of the fundamentals of religion for Ahl al-Sunnah, due to the immense right of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, enjoined his household and emphasized their status, and they are known for their uprightness and religiosity. The Prophet's wives, including Aisha, Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, are included in the household, as stated in the Holy Quran. The love of Ahl al-Sunnah for Ahl al-Bayt is manifested in many ways, including: considering them the noblest people in lineage, magnifying their status, giving them precedence in gatherings and honoring them, supporting them and preserving their dignity, and protecting them and safeguarding their honor.
