The Word ‘Muqallid’ and ‘Taqleed’ implies total submission: Baiyat (Allegiance): Ataat (Total Submission): APPENDIX I The Hadith on Taqleed of a Faqeeh APPENDIX II Definition of Fuqha APPENDIX III The Word ‘Muqallid’ means total Submission APPENDIX IV Selection of a Religious Guide by words of others Fitna (Strife) Occurs when a man does Taqleed of another man: Ataat-Baiyat-Taqleed The difference among Ataat, Baiyat and Taqleed Often vague statements are made to create confusion that one must be in the ‘ Ataat’ (submission) or in ‘ Baiyat’ (allegiance) of the Divine Imam -asws but one must carry on following a ‘ Maraja’s Taqleed’ (emulation of a cleric) regarding the acts of worships and religious issues.

However, these are baseless and hollow statements as we will analyse these in this short write-up, Insha Allah -azwj .

A Hadith is presented, sometimes also referred to as ‘Hadith-e-Taqleed’ (the narration of emulation) – from the ‘Tafseer of Imam Hassan Askari -asws ’, where Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws reported from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws : قال الامام العسكري عليه السلام: «فأما من كان من الفقهاء صائنا لنفسه، حافظا لدينه، مخالفا على هواه، مطيعا لأمر مولاه، فللعوام أن يقلدوه، وذلك لا يكون إلا بعض فقهاء الشيعة لا كلهم، The Imam Al-Askari -asws said: ‘So as for the ones who were from the ‘ Al-Fuqha ’ (jurists) who was protective of his own self, preserving of his religion, opposing to his (personal) desires, obedient to the orders of his Master -asws , so it is for the ordinary people that they emulate him, and that cannot happen except for some of the jurists of the Shias, not all of them.

(see the rest of the Hadith in Appendix I). So, who are the ‘Fuqha’ ? Imam Sadiq -asws says, only those are ‘Fuqha’ who are the narrators of our -asws Ahadith, see for example some Ahadith in Appendix II. What is the scope of the Taqleed?
