Where Taqleed is done and necessary to follow Imam Mazhab


Famous Jurist Shaykh Khatib Al-Baghdadi Rahimullah writes:..........

............"As far as the Islamic rules are concerned, there are of two types. The first are those which are known by necessity to be part of the Deen of the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam like the five prayers, Zakaat, fasting in Ramadhan, Hajj; the prohibition of adultery, wine and so on. Taqleed is not allowed in these issues since they are such that everyone should know and understand. The second type are those rules which need to be understood and extrapolated such as the details of the rituals of worship, transactions and weddings, for example, Taqleed is allowed   in     these        issues 
since        Allah       says:"So ask the people of remembrance if you know not." (Surah Al-Nahl: 43)
