Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Is it possible to explain the narrations of Imam Sadiq which says ((beware of following somebody in your religion because he who follows in his religion will go astray))? Kindly support you answer with evidence.

Answer

In the name of Allah, the type of “following” here means that it is questionable prohibited. This is in case the tradition is authentic. The meaning, which is mentioned in the Holy Quran, is that you are not to follow regarding principles of theology. Otherwise, how can you pray without following? For those who are in the foreign countries and who do not know a single Arabic word, how can they follow Ahlulbait (as)? A/ He who suspects following, who legalized the marriage of your mother to you father if he does not believe in the fatwa of following? If one does not believe in following, one has to consider the marriage one’s parent invalid and hence one would be son of haram (illegitimate son)(may Allah forbid). Allah knows best.
