So basically there is undeniably no known source stating taqleed is wajib (Allah says) and we have made the Quran easy for you. so interpreter why?? Allah wants us to read his books the ahadath and other writings not sit there and just do exactly wwhat an aalim says. Plus you say fiqh but fiqh derives from firqa i.e. sects Islam never promotes sects the true laws of jurisprudence have been laid down in quran and interperted by Hadith ok. AND THEN our Marja say taqleed is wajib this makes no sense ok before you mention this letter from (AL Mahdi (AJTFS) consider how we know it's from him??? SO why our marja say this??? ALSO PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY BEARD IS WAJIB I DON'T GET IT LOOK THE VERSE OF ADORNMANTS OF CHILDREN OF ADAM (عليه السلام) COULD MEAN IMAAN. OR SOMETHING ELSE NOT NECCESRILY A BEARD I HAVE SEEN WALIS (FRIENDS OF ALLAH) WITH NO BEARD AND I KNOW THEY SHAVED I.E. I KNOW A MAN WHO WHEN VISITED BY A BLIND GIRL MADE HER SEE AGAIN WITH ISN OF ALLAH OF COURSE HE AND WHEN YOU PUT WATER ON HIS GRANDFATHERS GRAVE IN DRY WHEATHER IT WOULD RAIN IN LIKE 5 MINUITES PLUS HE WAS AASHIQ I KNOW A WALI WHO MET PANJTAN PAAK )ASWS IN DREAM HE DIDN'T KEEP A BEARD TILL 50 AND NEVER SAID TO ANYONE THAT IT'S WAJIB SO MAKES NO SENSE both of these wali are now with Allah Fatiha please.
