Doubt . Fatwa . Marja'

What should you do when you are uncertain about a Marja's Fatwa and have no knowledge or source for their reasoning? Is blind following in such cases justified?

The Marja' of Taqleed is the most or one of the most knowledgeable jurisprudence's experts,who has done full research and authentic evidence on his verdict. Unexperts can not be certain or uncertain about a Fatwa because they have no experience on juridrudence. Highest medical scientist does need his patients to be certain or uncertain when he has his scientific evidence on what he should do with a certain medical condition. Following the highest expert does not mean blind following but an enlightened following because your reason tells you to follow the most knowledgeable in every subject.

Fatwa . Marja' . Tab'id

Why can't we follow multiple Marjas when we find that more than one is knowledgeable, and we believe that each gives Fatwas after extensive research on Quran and Hadith, with some being more knowledgeable in certain matters and others in other matters?

Proper Taqleed is following and implementing the verdict of the most knowledgeable Mujtahid. It is not a pick and choose or taking what you like. The verdicts of the most knowledgeable (Al-A'lam) among all the Mujtahids must be followed. If you have real evidence the Marje' A is more knowledgeable in any field of Fiqh than other Mujtahids, then you can follow him in that field only. Having such evidence is not easy at all and it needs witnesses from the high category of Ulama (Ahlul Khibrah).

I have a question regarding wearing a leather belt during prayer, I was wondering what is the Fatwa from different Maraje'?

The Maraji' have generally ruled that wearing things like leather belts in salat is not allowed if the leather is not slaughtered in an Islamic way. See Islamic Laws of Ayatullah Seestani's Tawdhihu'l Masa'il p. 160.
