This text examines the legitimacy and necessity of taqlid in Islamic jurisprudence and addresses the doubts that have been raised concerning it. It explains why those who do not possess specialized knowledge of fiqh need to refer to qualified and reliable scholars when determining their religious duties. 

The discussion distinguishes between matters that require personal investigation, matters that are clear and need no taqlid, and matters in which following a qualified jurist is appropriate. It presents rational, textual, and historical evidence for this practice, including the guidance of the Imams (‘a) to their learned companions. 

The text also responds to objections against taqlid and examines the claim that religious rulings can be obtained directly from Qur’an and hadith without specialized knowledge. 

Particular attention is given to the need for qualified scholars who combine knowledge with integrity and piety. In this way, the text presents taqlid as a practical means of preserving sound religious practice and following the guidance of those qualified to interpret Islamic law.
