Understanding Usul Al-Fiqh by Abu Tariq Hilal - Abu Ismael al-Beirawi

11.3 Taqleed is forbidden in the „Aqeedah (Belief)

It should be clear that the subject of Taqleed is limited to the Hukm (rule) and does not include the „Aqeedah (Belief). It is forbidden to make Taqleed in the creed, i.e. „Aqeedah because Allah (swt) has censured the Muqallids (imitators) in „Aqeedah. Allah (swt) has mentioned this in many verses:

“And if they said to them follow what Allah has revealed, they said but we follow what our fore fathers left for us. Even if their fathers understood not, and were not guided”. (TMQ Al-Baqarah: 170)

"Do you have Ilm for that which you claim so that you provide us with? You follow nothing but conjecture (Zann)." (TMQ Al-An‟am:148)

“These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire. Even though there has already come to them the Guidance from their Lord” (TMQ An-Najm: 23)
