Hendaklah jelas bahawa perkara taqlid hanya terhad kepada hukum (peraturan) dan tidak merangkumi 'Aqidah (kepercayaan). Haram melakukan taqlid dalam akidah, iaitu 'Aqidah, kerana Allah (SWT) telah mencela golongan Muqallid (pengikut buta) dalam 'Aqidah. Allah (SWT) telah menyebut perkara ini dalam banyak ayat:

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:

"Dan apabila dikatakan kepada mereka: ikutilah apa yang telah diturunkan Allah, mereka menjawab: "Tidak, kami hanya mengikuti apa yang kami dapati dari nenek moyang kami." Walaupun nenek moyang mereka itu tidak memahami apa-apa dan tidak mendapat petunjuk."

“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)
