Jurist . Shi'a . Ahl al-Bayt . Wilayat al-Faqih . Infallibility ('Ismah)

Can you explain the idea of absolute obedience to a jurist (ولایت مطلقه فقیه) and whether it contradicts the Shi'a belief that absolute obedience belongs to the infallible Ahl al-Bayt?

All Shia and Sunni scholars believe the the Faqeeh has authority in the interest of the religion and Muslims. Shia scholars have discussed in their books the limits of this authority as a matter of scientific research. While all of our scholars believe in the authority of the Faqeeh, they have different opinions about its limits and boundaries . Al Naraqi was a well known Shia Scholar who wrote about this subject, but no scholar said that the authority of Faqeeh is equal to authority of infallible Imams.
