1 – Al-Ijtihaad shi ne bayar da cikakken ƙoƙari (na mai iya) wajen fitar da hukunce-hukuncen Shari'a masu amfani daga dalilansu na tafsiri, yayin da At-Taqleed kuwa shi ne bin ra'ayin wani mutum game da hukunce-hukuncen Shari'a masu amfani.

1 – Al-Ijtihaad is the exertion of (capable) effort to deduce the practical Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah from its detailed evidences, whilst At-Taqleed is following the opinion of someone else in relation to the practical Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah.

2 – Ijtihadi shi ne asali (asalin matsayi), kuma Allah ya sanya lada a kan aikata shi: lada biyu ga wanda ijtihadinsa ya yi daidai, da lada guda ga wanda ijtihadinsa ya yi kuskure. Amma kuwa taqlidi, Shari'a ba ta yabe shi ba, Allah bai umarce shi ba, kuma ba a sanya lada a kansa ba.

2 – Al-Ijtihaad is the Asl (original position) and Allah has placed reward upon its undertaking; two rewards for the one who is correct in his Ijtihaad and one reward for the one who is incorrect. That is whilst At-Taqleed is not commended by the Shar’a, it has not been commanded by Allah and reward has not been placed upon it.
