Question #42
Does the permissibility of continuing to follow a deceased mujtahid also apply to those who, during mujtahid’s life, acted upon his fatwās although they were not mukallaf?

If the taqlīd of a person, before the age of shar‘ī puberty, to a qualified mujtahid was realised in a correct way, it is permissible to continue with the taqlīd of that mujtahid after his death.
