In the introduction, the compiler explains that the book examines three important concepts related to Islamic law: Ijtihad, Taqleed, and Ihtiyat (precaution). Ijtihad refers to the process through which highly qualified scholars derive religious rulings from primary Islamic sources such as the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet. Taqleed means following those rulings when a person does not have the scholarly ability to derive them independently. Ihtiyat, on the other hand, refers to adopting a cautious approach in religious matters to ensure compliance with Islamic teachings.
The book also addresses several common questions and objections that are often raised about the practice of taqleed. By presenting scholarly explanations and references, the author aims to clarify misunderstandings and provide readers with a clearer understanding of the role of qualified jurists in guiding the Muslim community.
In preparing this work, the compiler considered the religious verdicts of several respected Shia scholars. These include the late Grand Ayatollah Abul Qasim al-Khoei, the late Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, Grand Ayatollah Syed Ali Hussaini Sistani, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Grand Ayatollah Wahid Khorasani, and Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani. While their opinions were carefully studied, the book generally avoids focusing on differences of opinion and instead presents rulings in a way that reflects precaution and broader scholarly agreement whenever possible.
During the compilation of this book, several scholarly works were consulted, including advanced educational texts on Islamic jurisprudence such as Amoozesh Fiqh, Ahkam Amuzeshi, and Ahkam Taqleed wa Bulugh. These sources helped provide a solid academic foundation for the explanations presented in the book.
The compiler also expresses gratitude to scholars and colleagues who contributed to the review and preparation of the work. Special acknowledgment is given to Hujjat-ul-Islam Aamir Raza Yasoubi for reviewing and improving the manuscript, and to Raza Rizwani for providing helpful suggestions and technical support during the preparation process.
Overall, Taqleed Kiun Karain? serves as a helpful guide for readers who wish to understand the role of scholarly authority in Islamic law. By explaining the principles behind taqleed and addressing common questions, the book encourages readers to approach religious practice with knowledge, understanding, and respect for established scholarship.
