There is no basis for taqleed (blind following) in Islaam. In fact, it is from the usool of jahiliyyah. Taqleed is one of the reasons why prophets were rejected by their people. Taqleed is one of the reasons why we're backwards today in the dunya and especially in the deen.Abu Haneefah said: "This is my opinion, but if there comes someone whose opinion is better than mine, then accept that." Maalik said: "I am only human, I may be right or I may be wrong, so measure my words by the Qur'aan and Sunnah." Al-Shaafa'i said: "If the hadeeth is saheeh, then ignore my words. If you see well established evidence, then this is my view." Imam Ahmad said: "Do not follow me blindly, and do not follow Maalik or al-Shaafa'i or al-Thawri blindly. Learn as we have learned." And he said, "Do not follow men blindly with regard to your religion, for they can never be safe from error."No one has the right to follow an imam blindly and never accept anything but his words. Rather what he must do is accept that which is in accordance with the truth, whether it is from his imam or anyone else.Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:No one has to blindly follow any particular man in all that he enjoins or forbids or recommends, apart from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Muslims should always refer their questions to the Muslim scholars, following this one sometimes and that one sometimes. If the follower decides to follow the view of an imam with regard to a particular matter which he thinks is better for his religious commitment or is more correct etc, that is permissible according to the majority of Muslim scholars, and neither Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafa'i or Ahmad said that this was forbidden.Shaykh Sulaymaan ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:Rather what the believer must do, if the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have reached him and he understands them with regard to any matter, is to act in accordance with them, no matter who he may be disagreeing with. This is what our Lord and our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have enjoined upon us, and all the scholars are unanimously agreed on that, apart from the ignorant blind followers and the hard-hearted. Such people are not scholars.Tayseer al-'Azeez al-Hameed, p. 546http://islamicemirate.com/fiqh-jurisprudence/usool-ul-fiqh/2595-imitation-taqleed-following-the-evidence-daleel--and-was-ibn-hazm-a-hanbali.htmlhttp://islamicemirate.com/fiqh-jurisprudence/usool-ul-fiqh/2597-the-sayings-of-the-four-imams-on-taqleed.html
