\n Fact 6...

\n Fact 6: \n In the recognition of an expert, in any discipline of life, one would search for the track record of that expert (his success and failure profile).\u00a0 For example, if one wants to consult a cardiologist or an architecture, he will investigate specialist\u2019s success rate on previous \u2018treatments\u2019 or \u2018building structures\u2019, after establishing success of his treatment or sound features of the building structures one would take the advise of that expert.\u00a0 But when one looks at the simple issues, which have been remained unresolved by the Mujtahid for the last 1400 years, one gets perplexed, particularly when one is asked to just follow without asking for a proof!\u00a0 Those simple issues are, for example, when Salat\/fast becomes \u2018Qasr\u2019 or in which direction prayers should be offered while travelling-all of the \u2018Mujtahid\u2019 are confused and issue different statements, please see details in Kashaf-ul-Tazad .

\n In brief, the capability of a Mujtahid in deriving a fatawa is far from being an expert.\u00a0 The expert of the Deen is the narrator of Divine laws and only nominated by Allah -azwj , so the real experts in Islam are our Masomeen -asws .\u00a0 Therefore, in this context, a Mujtahid may be taken an equivalent to \u2018hakeem\u2019 [33] who would try to treat a patient through mixing and grinding various tables in different combinations and strengths, which he has acquired from various pharmacies \u2013 The actions of the Mujtahid, are not far, from this example, in his efforts of deriving a fatwa!\u00a0 He takes bits and pieces from various Verses of Quran and traditions of Masomeen -asws and produces his own statement \u2018Fatwa\u2019 (which is also sometimes reffered to as nutshell or sugur coated bill for Muqallid-as it eliminates his research for the traditions of Masomeen -asws ).\u00a0 This is obvious from the wordings of a fatwa that it is neither a Verses of Quran nor a Hadith of a Masoom -asws but rather a sugar coated pill for a busy Muqallid and a source of strangle-hold for the Mujtahid over his followers.

\n However, the supports of taqleed would still argue that their Mujtahid get inspiration from Imam-e-Zaman -asws as being in the position of \u2018Niab-e-Imam\u2019- lets review this claim in Myth No 7!
