Critical Review: The Law of Taqlid Between Obligatory, Prohibited, or Permissible?
Keywords:
Mazhab, Ijtihad, Islamic Law, Fatwa, OpinionAbstract
According to the etymological meaning agreed upon by scholars, taqlid
originates from the word qallada, which means "to hang a rope around the
neck." From a terminological perspective, there is a tendency to agree on a
single meaning, despite slight editorial differences. For instance, Al-Ghazali
defines it as accepting someone else's opinion without evidence. This study
employs a normative research method, examining various aspects to obtain
information and answer legal questions. The concept of the law regarding taqlid
cannot be absolutely concluded as obligatory, permissible, or prohibited. It
represents an approach to understanding Islamic law where an individual
follows the opinion or fatwa of a scholar considered authoritative in religious
knowledge. The law of taqlid for laypeople is obligatory; however, there are
scholars who strongly oppose it, such as Ibn Qayyim, A. Hassan, and Ibn Hazm.
