Taqleed Flashcards
1
Q
Give the evidence, reality, and necessary of taqleed.
A
A normal knowledgeable person cannot derive rulings himself. A person would have to ask a well educated scholar. Deriving rulings by ones self is contrary to the Quran because the sacred texts can easily be misinterpreted this way. Following someone in this regard is taqleed.

Q
Why is it necessary to follow one of four scholars when all 4 are correct?
A
If following one Imam was not the case, every one would follow their desires and end up making a mockery of the sharia. Different imams have things that are halal and Haram. In this way he will never be guided. He will travel the path of misguidance and darkness.
