Abstract

According to the etymological meaning agreed upon by scholars, taqlidoriginates from the word qallada, which means "to hang a rope around the neck." From a terminological perspective, there is a tendency to agree on a single meaning, despite slight editorial differences. For instance, Al-Ghazali defines it as accepting someone else's opinion without evidence. This study employs a normative research method, examining various aspects to obtain information and answer legal questions. The concept of the law regarding taqlidcannot be absolutely concluded as obligatory, permissible, or prohibited. It represents an approach to understanding Islamic law where an individual follows the opinion or fatwa of a scholar considered authoritative in religious knowledge. The law of taqlid for laypeople is obligatory; however, there are scholars who strongly oppose it, such as Ibn Qayyim, A. Hassan, and Ibn Hazm.
