Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who call for complete taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence) and following a specific school of jurisprudence in all matters argue that if a person does not follow a specific school of jurisprudence in every issue, he will follow his desires and follow dispensations. Is their argument...
Answer:
...valid? Taqlid is permissible in cases of dire necessity if a person is ignorant. He follows one in whose knowledge and religion he has trust,[An-Nahl 16:43] under this condition, if you do not know. So taqlid is not permissible except in this situation. Or they say: the mujtahid (a scholar qualified to derive rulings), or the one who has the ability for ijtihad (independent legal reasoning), if time is tight for him and he does not have the capacity to look into it and perform ijtihad, he follows in this situation out of dire necessity. So taqlid is only permissible in cases of dire necessity, and it is not permissible in cases of ease and the ability to reach the correct ruling. Yes.
