Question:
What was the opinion of the scholar At-Tusi about imitation (Taqlid)?
Answer:
Abu Ja’far At-Tusi writes: “The imitation (Taqlid) – if one means the acceptance of the other’s statement without proof – and this is the true imitation (Taqlid) – is detestable to the mind.” [Al-Iqtisad-ul-Hadi ila Tariq Ar-Rashad, page 10]
قال شيخ الإسلام محمد بن الحسن الطوسي رضي الله عنه: التقليد إن أريد به قبول قول الغير من غير حجة وهو حقيقة التقليد فذلك قبيح في العقول
