Taqleed

· 17 Rajab 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have heard that taqleed is only in 10% of Islam. Is it true? If yes then what is that 10% of Islam in which taqleed is required?

Answer

Taqleed is applicable in all aspects of fiqh. And fiqh governs your entire life because the meaning of fiqh is ma`rifatun nafs maa lahu wa maa`alayha.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
