التعريف
Permitted — and required — for the layperson who is unable to derive rulings himself, on condition he chooses a trustworthy, knowledgeable scholar. Blind taqlīd of a particular madhhab against clear evidence is blameworthy.
النطق: taq-LĪD
الاشتقاق والجذر
From ق-ل-د (q-l-d), meaning 'to place a collar around.' The muqallid 'collars himself' to another's view.
الاستخدام في القرآن
'Ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.' (an-Naḥl 16:43)
ملاحظات علمية
The Salaf and the four imāms themselves forbade blind taqlīd of their own views. Imām Mālik said: 'Every person's word is taken or rejected, except the inhabitant of this grave' — pointing to the Prophet ﷺ.
التطبيق العملي
Take from people of knowledge known for following evidence — and when an authentic ḥadīth contradicts your scholar's view with clear meaning, the ḥadīth takes precedence.
