Imitation in the Details of Islamic law and its Effect on the Conditions of Prayers – A Practical Study
Keywords:
Imitation, Islamic Fiqhi details, conditions of prayers, the talent of passing verdicts in Islamic law (Ijtihad, ), the Mujtahid,Abstract
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, best blessing and perfect greeting
to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, his family and his companions
altogether.
As accomplishing the talent of passing verdicts in Islamic law (Ijtihad)
is unattainable to any one, since it requires extraction and free time, Shari’a,
out of its easiness, has commanded each adult according to his abilities.
Thus, it obliges both the layman and the Jurist (Mujtahid) to know the general
principles and the necessary basics of the religion, whereas it distinguishes Al
Mujtahid with the duty of giving verdicts in the rules of practical issues that
have been established via obligatory rules (less than Mutawattir) . Hence,
is it permissible for ordinary people to imitate the jurists concerning the
branches of the Jurisprudence?
Furthermore, the Mujtahid, himself, might not be able to give Ijtihad and
perhaps, for some reason, fails to achieve that; therefore, is it acceptable for
him to imitate other jurists too?
Moreover, what is the effect of these two cases in prayer’s conditions like
facing Al Kiblah and when it is time to prayer? These are what the paper in
hand will answer.
