Publisher's Synopsis
This is the only text that provides a scientific and methodological reason for following a single school. Most texts, when they are justifying Taqlid, make emotional appeals and point to the piety of the earlier jurists and the founders of schools. The present work explains why it is a necessity to follow a single school. It also points out and explains why ``picking and choosing'' opinions, randomly from different schools, is wrong. The text also elaborates upon the rules for issuing fatwas and outlines the methodology for issuing rulings in the present times. The existing ``one-liners, '' the text shows, are difficult to accept. The text focuses on a single school, but what is said is easily applied to other schools.
