اجتهاد المقلد : مفهومه و موقف الأصوليين منه

Abstract EN

Most of the Muslim Jurists consider that the common man/woman (Mukallaf), although he / she has to follow the scholars, he/she has a kind of reasoning to do : the investigation and the search for one who fulfills the eligibility requirements to be followed.

If the Juridical ruling appears clear, then he / she must look how applicable the mentioned general descriptions to his / her own case ; because Juridical rulings do not address particular issues but are general, which require a kind of reasoning in order to apply the ruling to its right case.

That is why the common person does a kind of reasoning such as : identifying the right water for ablution, finding the right direction (Qibla) to pray, and this is his/her way in all of his/her religious affairs.
