The ruling on following a mujtahid in a specific issue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a mujtahid in a specific issue to follow a scholar (taqlid) in another issue, or is it not permissible for a mujtahid to follow a scholar (taqlid) in any case?
Answer:
Ijtihad has conditions that must be met. Not everyone is qualified for ijtihad; it has its own conditions. If the conditions are met, a person is able to exercise ijtihad in every issue. But if he does not have the conditions for ijtihad, he is not able to exercise ijtihad. Leave ijtihad to the mujtahid scholars: Imam Ahmad, Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam al-Shafi'i, and their like and their peers.
