Tofauti Kati ya Al-ijtihaad na At-taqleed
The Difference Between Al-ijtihaad And At-taqleed
1 – Al-Ijtihaad ni kutumia juhudi (zenye uwezo) kikamilifu ili kupata hukumu za kivitendo za Sharia (Ahkaam Ash-Shar'iyah) kutoka kwenye ushahidi wake wa kina, ilhali At-Taqleed ni kufuata maoni ya mtu mwingine kuhusiana na hukumu za kivitendo za Sharia (Ahkaam Ash-Shar'iyah).
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 – Al-Ijtihaad ndio asili (msingi wa awali), na Allah ameweka thawabu juu ya kuufanya; thawabu mbili kwa yule aliye sahihi katika Ijtihaad yake, na thawabu moja kwa yule aliyekosea. Wakati huo huo, At-Taqleed haisifiwi na Shari'a, haijaamriwa na Allah, na thawabu haijawekwa juu yake.
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.
3 – Al-Ijtihaad ni Fardhi Kifaaya kwa Waislamu, na haijuzu kwa zama yoyote kukosa angalau Mujtahid mmoja ndani yake. Ilhali At-Taqlid haijaamriwa, na inafaa zaidi kwamba utokeaji wake uwe mdogo au ufanyike kidogo miongoni mwa Waislamu.
3 – Al-Ijtihaad is a Fard Kifaayah upon the Muslims and it is not permitted for an era to not have at least one Mujtahid within it. That is whilst At-Taqleed has not been commanded and it is more appropriate for its occurrence to be less or for it to happen little amongst the Muslims.
4 – Ijtihaad haifanyiki katika Aqaa'id (imani za kiitikadi) kwa sababu dalili zake ni Qat'iy Ad-Dalaalah (zenye maana na ufafanuzi usiotiliwa shaka), na ni Haraam kufanya Taqleed kuhusiana nazo. Hata hivyo, inaruhusiwa kufanya Ijtihaad na Taqleed kuhusiana na Ahkaam Ash-Shar'iyah.
4 – Ijtihaad does not take place in the Aqaa’id (beliefs) because its evidences are Qat’iy Ad-Dalaalah (in indication and meaning) and it is Haraam to make Taqleed in respect to them. It is however permitted to perform Ijtihaad and Taqleed in respect to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah.
