Imitation in the religion of God is not permissible with us, whether living or dead, and if the questioner asks a scholar, he must say to him, “I want the ruling of God or the ruling of His Messenger on this issue.” If the questioner says to him, “This is the ruling of God on the issue or the ruling of His Messenger,” he must follow it. The one responsible here is conveying the ruling of God and the ruling of His Messenger that He commanded us to follow. If he says: This is my opinion, or this is a ruling that I saw, or what I have in this matter is a ruling that is operative, but analogy gives that the ruling in it should be like the ruling in such and such issue whose ruling is operative, it is not permissible for the questioner to take what he says and search for The people of the remembrance, and he asks them according to what we said.
