    Default do the scholars preceed you in every religious matter?

    Salaams

    As many here claim to practice taqleed, my question is, will you wait for teh scholars to proceed you on any given matter? When you debate sectarian issues, which scholar has advised you to do this? When you criticise saudi, which scholars has advised you to do this?
    May Allah Bless You

    is criticising tyrannical dictatorships a sectarian issue, or purely common sense?

    I think the title is misleading and lacks substance.
    It is amongst the great sunnah's to consult on all your affairs with scholars and those who are wise.
    "Our relationship to the Quran - "everybody quotes it, some people read it, and a few live by it.""

    The Deobandie ulama I know praise Saudi in public and say they may be far from perfect but at least they are better than most Arab regimes and they have kept the Haramain free from nudity etc. generally speaking. Also it is part of Iman to Love the Rasul and the Arabs. So we pray that Allah Guides the Arab people back to the deen because currently they have mostly fallen away from the deen (this bold part is what a scholar other than the Deobandie ones I follow say).

    Do you mean to say "precede" instead of "proceed"?

    Assuming that you are:

    I personally think that the delegation of any issue of faith to somebody else is in essence the act of the lazy and uneducated. No matter how many 'scholars' have taken the issue and given their synopsis, taking their work as absolute simply says that a) the person does not give enough importance to the issue, b) is not qualified to take on the issue, or 3) has given in to the "accepted norm" of following blindly the word of the "ullama" or "scholars".

    I personally despise nothing more than those that fall under the 3rd category. I do not think that accepting judgement of others in the matters of faith should be praised, sought, or accepted as a 'best practice' as I see many fellow brothers do.

    I always make a point when asking any religious scholar a question to include the word "what do you think". I would really be disappointed in myself if I ever asked the question by saying "what is the <insert judgement here>". (I do not mean a deity's judgement, but a person's conclusion).

    How did you manage to, in a thread about Taqleed and Saudi scholars, work in a jab at the Arabs?

    Arab bashing yet again on SunniForum.
