    The document discusses different opinions on whether it is permissible to follow (taqleed) a scholar in matters of Islamic creed ('aqeedah) without knowing the proof, or if knowing the proof is required. The three main opinions are: 1) You must know the proof (Mu'tazila view). If you do not know proofs for 'aqeedah, your faith is rejected. 2) It is acceptable to follow a scholar through taqleed as long as your faith is firm, without needing to know proof (view of Ahlus Sunnah wa al-Jamaa'ah). 3) Looking into proof without qualifications could cause going astray, so it

    IS TAQLEED

    PERMISSIBLE IN
    MATTERS OF
    AQEEDAH?
    Topic Three
    Tawheed class #5

    Thaqleed
    Muqallid

    Following or imitating
    The imitator

    O Can you do Taqleed of a Shaykh, scholar or a

    knowledgeable person in matters of Aqeedah or


    must you know the proof?
    O Is it a prerequisite to know the proof? Is your Imaan

    accepted if you do not know the proof?

    O Is the Imaan of one who is an imitator good or

    not?
    This is what the scholars discussed. Many think
    this is an easy matter but in reality it is not and it
    is fought on two different fronts.

    Mutazilah
    O Reject the faith of one who

    does not know proof of the


    matters of Aqeedah.
    O Some attribute this to the

    sect of the Ashaairah


    ( ) and they say that
    the Ashaairah also
    request the same as the
    Mutazilah. (more details
    check notes)

    Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah
    O (Taqleed) is a way to go

    about and it is accepted, as


    long as you are firm in your
    faith and you have no
    doubts (that is important).

    O The faith of the Muqallid

    (One who does taqleed) is


    not rejected due to him
    doing taqleed
    (Page 7 in PDF Notes).

    Overall, there are three opinions on this


    matter.

    THE FIRST OPINION: YOU MUST


    KNOW THE PROOF (Mutazila)
    O If you do not know the proofs for the matters of

    Aqeedah, your Imaan is rejected.


    O This is what ar-Raazi, Abu al-Hasan al-Aamidi
    and the overwhelming majority of the Mutazilah
    said.
    O Abu al-Mudhaffar as-Samaani said it is not
    permissible for a layman to blindly follow in
    matters of Aqeedah, according to some of the
    Fuqahaa and the philosophists. You must know
    proof from the Quran, Ijmaa, Qiyaas or
    whatever it may be (pertaining to your Aqeedah)
    and the Mutazilah resort a lot to Aql

    THE SECOND OPINION: IT IS NOT


    OBLIGATORY TO KNOW THE PROOF
    O Following the saying of a scholar, imitating,

    mimicking and following the scholar


    (Taqleed) is a way to go about.
    O It is accepted, as long as you are firm in your
    faith and you have no doubts (that is
    important). That is the opinion of the
    overwhelming majority of Ahlus-Sunnah walJamaaah.

    THE THIRD OPINION: LOOKING


    INTO THE PROOF IS HARAAM
    O If you are not qualified then looking into proof could

    cause you to go astray.


    O Attributed to some of the followers of Imaam Ahmad Ibn
    Hanbal.
    O It is an exceptional saying for some of the very, very few
    who may be searching into proof ignorantly, which may
    cause them to have doubts.
    O Someone who cannot comprehend proof to the point
    that it is actually going to cause a counter affect and get
    him to be misguided must go to a scholar to go through
    that proof.
    (taken that out because it is taken in a special context)
    MINORITY and (special case) Issue.
