Taqlid

Taqlid (Arabic تقليد, imitation, imitation ') is a technical term of Islamic law, according to which every Muslim is obliged to direct his actions according to that law school, to which he belongs by birth or by accession.

In the Islamic terminology Taqlid means accepting the words of a person without any examination or evidence. Taqlid is commonly understood as " blind succession". The person who practices taqlid is called muqallid (see also Marja -e taqlid ). So taqlid to ignorance, not knowledge -based, which blindly following a phenomenon that is very basic, inter alia, can not be understood as a student, in al - Ghazali's The Savior Scripture is criticized from the error.
