Hakikat Kitabevi Publications No: 10 answer to an enemy of islam

al-Mîzân
al-kubrâ. Does it befit a Muslim to say, “In their ijtihâd they
disagreed with the Nass and employed ijtihâd incompatible with
the hadîth through deduction and comparison,” about these
scholars who said quite the opposite? It is not permissible even to
think so about our a’immat al-madhâhib, who were Rasûlullah’s
(sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) inheritors. Those who say so, in fact,
deny the hadîths declaring that they were his inheritors, and thus
contradict the hadîth ash-sherîf. Furthermore, by doing so they
think ill of and slander Muslims. Both of them are grave sins.
Because they perpetrate harâm, they should repent before Allâhu
ta’âlâ.

ijtihâd by mujtahids originated from the same source.
Some were deduced from the Book, while others from the
Sunna. Therefore, there are different views on some
matters.”
Having involved himself in a great matter which he could never
cope with, the religion reformer now gets confused. The poor man,
who can never tolerate Muslims’ following the a’immat al-
madhâhib by obeying the above-quoted hadîth sherîf and the âyat
quoted several times before, being unable to find any reason based
on knowledge and intellect for blaming taqlîd, says that taqlîd
obstructs knowledge and intellect. We answered this claim of his in
the previous article. Is he a Muslim or an enemy of Islam who says
that obeying the commands in the âyat and the hadîth causes such
harms? We leave the answer to the understanding and reason of
our dear readers. Hadrat ’Abd al-Wahhâb ash-Sha’rânî wrote in
