穆斯林的本来立场是：他应当亲自从沙里尔的经文中获取他所需要的伊斯兰教法条例（Ahkaam Ash-Shar'iyah），即从经文（Aayaat）和圣训（Ahaadeeth）中直接取得。这是因为安拉至尊至高已经以这些经文向他发出训示，并要求他不要遵从知识（'Ilm）以外的东西。安拉至尊至高说：

The original position in regards to the Muslim is that he takes what he requires in terms of Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah (directly) from the Shar’iyah texts himself i.e. from the Aayaat and the Ahaadeeth. That is because Allah Ta’Aalaa has addressed him with these texts and requested that he does not follow other than ‘Ilm (knowledge). Allah Ta’Aalaa said:

这段经文命令我们运用自己的感官和理智，去认识伊斯兰教法的各项律例（Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah）。如果我们无法做到，那么我们有义务进行考察并努力推理（Ijtihaad），以便通过占优的推测（Zhann，即最可能的判断），得出教法的裁决（Hukm Ash-Shar’iy）。

This Aayah commands us to utilise our senses and our minds to arrive at the knowledge of the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah and if we are unable then it is obligatory for us to examine and undertake Ijtihaad in order to arrive, by way of the preponderant Zhann (what is believed to be most likely), to the Hukm Ash-Shar’iy.

"Taqleed"确实能使人获得关于伊斯兰教法律条例（Ahkaam Ash-Shar'iyah）的知识（'Ilm）或占优势的观点（Zhann Al-Ghaalib），因此学者们对于Taqleed的裁定（Hukm）持有各种不同的看法，具体如下：

The Taqleed does make a person arrive at knowledge (‘Ilm) or to the Zhann Al-Ghaalib (the preponderant view) of the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah and as such the ‘Ulamaa held a variety of opinions in respect to the Hukm of Taqleed as follows:

一些学者认为，taqlid（盲目遵从）根本不被允许，并认为ijtihad（独立推理）是对mukallaf（负有宗教责任者）的义务，他需要学习其方法和工具。

1 – Some of the ‘Ulamaa viewed that At-Taqleed is not permissible at all and made Al-Ijtihaad obligatory upon the Mukallaf and to learn its means and tools.

2 – 另有学者认为，无论是有能力进行伊智提哈德者，还是没有能力者，taqlīd（盲从）都是绝对允许的。

2 – Others viewed that At-Taqleed is absolutely permitted for the one who is capable of performing Ijtihaad and for the one who is incapable.

3 – 其他人仍然允许对无力进行 Ijtihaad 的人实行 Taqleed，而对有能力进行 Ijtihaad 的人则禁止。

3 – Others still permitted Taqleed for the one who is incapable of undertaking Ijtihaad whilst prohibiting it for the one who is capable of undertaking it.
