Is Taqleed Necessary?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

What is the importance of “Taqleed”? And is Taqleed Fardh on the Ulamaa as it is Fardh on the general mass?
Jazakallah


Answer:

 

To practice on the commands of the Shari’ah is compulsory on every Muslim. One who is not a master in Shari’ah law then he will have to rely on the teachings of someone who is, and that is called Taqleed. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’an: “When you do not know, refer and ask those who are men of knowledge.”

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
