If you are asking me, then no, that is not the book. That is the risala attributed to Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali which is known to be a straight up refutation of those who reject taqlid and it has been translated into english as far as i know (though not published yet).

Here is a link to the book.

The book has four volumes, each about 200 pages in microsoft word, I can't remember in which volume this atleast 57 pages long talk about taqlid was on...but what you do is you open a volume and search for "taqlid" and the first thing you should find is that chapter.

Then you just read it through and make a conclusion...May Allah correct our mistakes.

Ohh!!!

I apologise, brother... I mixed the two names. That's why I was so seriously confused about it. It was really Ibn Rajjab Hanbali RA's risalah and I was wondering how it could be against taqlid.

**ubaidullah** · 17-07-2006, 06:45 PM

That is quite normal, sometimes it happens, no need to apologize.

It'd be cool if you could translate some of the interesting information from the Risala??

Sure its not been edited by the notorious "salafis"?? They've been famous for changing texts a lot.

**ubaidullah** · 20-07-2006, 07:02 AM

Allah knows best. I don't think most of the salafis would change the book of Ibn Al-Qayyim though like that...I have SOME husn al-dhann for them too. One can quote sayings and leave important points and all that, but tampering the actual text in the complete book...Well, I don't believe that. It would be easily exposed too by those who really look into it, right.

The text is 57 pages long brother...Translating a part of it here wouldn't really be different in the eyes of the readers from the part already translated (since I could just take any part of it, weather on purpose or by mistake, and make my point).

A thread which was written by members of SF can be found here:

http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...ight=ibn+ajiba

It addresses the issues of taqlid, talfiq and switching madhabs etc.

It is related to this thread so i thought it would be good idea to have similar topics in the same place.

Jazakallahu khair brother for sharing this info with us. The article by Bro Ibn Ajiba is a good reference point for young Muslim as to why they must follow a madhhab and refrain themselve from being self-proclaimed Mujtahids.
