"التقليد" في اللغة هو جعل الشيء في العنق مع الإحاطة به. ثم يُستعمل بمعنى تفويض الأمر إلى الشخص وإسناده إليه، كأنه قد ربط الأمر في عنقه.

At-Taqleed linguistically is the placing of the matter in the neck with an encompassment of it. Then it is used to entrust or delegate the matter to the person, as if it has tied the matter to his neck.

这就像诗人所说的那样：

It is like the poet said:

他们被托付了你的事务——你的成就归功于真主——慷慨大度。关于手臂，以及战争之事。

They were entrusted to your affair _ your accomplishment is due to Allah _ generous The arm, with the matter of war

"التَّقْلِيد"在术语（الاصطلاح）中的含义：

And the meaning of At-Taqleed in accordance to the Istilaah (terminological convention):

根据其在伊斯兰教法（Shar'a）中的含义，"Taqlid"（taqlīd，蒸顿/效仿）是指在没有具有约束力的证据（Hujjah Mulzimah）的情况下，依照他人的意见行事。例如，普通人（'Aamiy）采纳Mujtahid（穆贾塔希德，有独立判断能力的学者）的意见，或者Mujtahid采纳另一位Mujtahid的意见，都属于此类。

At-Taqleed, according to its Shar’a meaning, is to act in accordance to the opinion of another without a Hujjah Mulzimah (A binding proof). That is like the ‘Aamiy taking the opinion of the Mujtahid or the Mujtahid taking the opinion of another Mujtahid
