The Role of Taqlid in Human Life- Ayt. Misbah Yazdi

The practice of taqlid or “following expert opinion” is an inescapable necessity within human society. It prevents the appearance of chaos within society, inhibiting individuals from interfering in, and expressing views on, subjects that lie outside the scope of their expertise.

Today, when we have no access to the Imams (a) who are the immaculate Guides and continue to languish within the period of occultation, this task of conveying correct Islamic teachings is carried on by the Ulama (religious scholars) and the Maraji’ (supreme authorities in Islamic law).”

This book is based on a series of lectures by Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi that discuss the topic of taqlid and related matters in a clear and relevant manner.
