Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, 'A'id Muhammad asks: What is the ruling on blind adherence to a school of jurisprudence and to one’s tribe?
Answer:
Blind adherence to a school of jurisprudence is not permissible. It is obligatory to follow the evidence. A school of jurisprudence that has evidence is followed, and a school of jurisprudence that has no evidence is not followed, because it is not a law from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Blind adherence to one’s tribe is also not permissible; it is not permissible to be blindly attached to it through falsehood. Yes.
