NECESSITY OF FIQH PART - 5

Also, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) appointed and sent the Sahabah as teachers to many places. Is this not Taqleed Shaqsi? Therefore there are many examples of Taqleed Mutlaq and Taqleed shaqsi in the eras of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and the Sahabah and in the Best Era (khair Ul Quroon) both the methods were used. Then because of separation from the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), when the fear of Allah SWT and His Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and the regard for the rules of the Shariah waned and selfishness took control, then the scholars, jurisprudents, Ahl Allah diagnosed this condition and entered Taqlees Shaqsi among the Wajib (compulsory) against this as a great corruption.

Shaykh Ibn E Taimiya, whom the non-followers consider as their Imam has ruled going against Taqleed Shaqsi as incorrect in his Fatawa. He writes, “ People follow some.

He again writes in his (Fatawa, Vol 2, pg no. 24.) ' The person who cannot know the rules of the Shariah and follows a particular scholar, without knowing that there is another opinion more preferable than this, that person is to be praised.. He will be rewarded. Neither will he condemned, nor will he punished.'

His famous student Ibn e Qayyim Al Jawzi,, writes in A’alaam Ul Mauqae’een, 'Unless the qualifications of Ijtihad (legislation) are not seen in a person, it is not permissible for him to extract rules from the Holy Quran and the Hadith.'
