\n So, who are the \u2018Fuqha\u2019 ? Imam Sadiq -asws says, only those are \u2018Fuqha\u2019 who are the narrators of our -asws Ahadith, see for example some Ahadith in Appendix II. \n What is the scope of the Taqleed?

\u00a0So, when one emulates a person who is reporting and quoting Ahadith, that means one is acting on the Ahadith.\u00a0 The scope of the above Hadith does not extend to the following of a cleric\u2019s decree (fatawa), which is usually manipulated that it is compulsory to follow sometime who issues fatawa.

\n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws says in a sermon while defining the characteristics of a guide (Imam): \n \u0648\u064e \u0643\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0641\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0636\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0639\u0650\u0628\u064e\u0627\u062f\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0637\u064e\u0627\u0639\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0652\u062c\u064e\u0628\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0647\u064f \u0645\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0648\u062a\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u0650 \n How could Allah -azwj make incumbent upon his servants the obedience of the one who is veiled from the mysteries of the heavens and the earth.
