Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah forgive you, if I want to... I... from behind the people, when the iqamah (the second call, immediately before prayer) is made, I do not find space for this. A period of withdrawal. Postponement.
The Shaykh:
You are hired, you are hired. Well, well.
The questioner:
The attribution of the hadith. Okay. Yes. And regarding the hadith of the madhhab (school of jurisprudence), what restriction is considered in it?
The Shaykh:
How is it attributed to him?
The questioner:
For example, the Shafi'is.
The Shaykh:
This falls under the category of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), yes. Taqlid is not permissible for a scholar; a scholar is not allowed to practice taqlid. It is obligatory for him to take from the Shariah evidence, yes.
