It is distinguished from the other two branches by being confined to Yemen and closer to Sunni Islam than other strands of Shi’ism. Zaydism is so close to the Sunni strand that some Shi’ite groups refer to it as the fifth school of Sunni jurisprudence. It shares, however, one of the important aspects of the Shi’ite belief: an imamate vested in descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.»
