Q&A on Imitation, taqleed and achieving more than one value from one action

Answer to the Question: 1- Imitation (Taqleed) and Leaving the Opinion of One Scholar (Mujtahid) for Another Mujtahid 2- Achieving more than One Value from One Action To Hijazi Shaheen (Translated) Question:  Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu Firstly, May Allah light your path and guide your way and grant you strength and support. I have several important questions regarding the Hizb books, I am from the sons of the Hizb; I pray that the answers will soothe our chests as we have given a pledge to you. 1. It was mentioned in the book The System of Islam (English version p. 96), “If the muqalid follows a mujtahid in a hukum of any issue and acts accordingly, he is not allowed to leave that hukm for another mujtahid at all.” The word “Mutlaqan” (at all) here, does not comply with our understanding that when we realise a mistake we do not leave it and go to the right opinion; how is it the case then if I follow a mujtahid and then discover later

News: The carnage that we are witnessing in Gaza continues. The blood of the martyrs that is spilled on the blessed land by the enemy of Allah keeps flowing without defence and the deafening silence of the Muslim leaders on this issue makes our blood boil with anger.

This unacceptable state of affairs has pushed Hizb Ut Tahrir / Malaysia to organize several demonstrations in front of the Egyptian Embassy, the Turkish embassy and the office of the Malaysian Armed Forces on Friday 18 July 2014.

Comment: Despite the fact that Egypt borders Gaza and Turkey has been very vocal against the Jewish entity of Israel, there has been no real effort exerted f
