Taqlid: Is Further Inquiry Needed After Two Just Witnesses Confirm a Marji‘?

English:

Question #24

I verified the competence of a certain mujtahid as marji‘ through the testimony of two just persons, is it obligatory for me to ask other persons about this matter also?

Answer #24

The testimony of two just experts regarding the competence of a certain mujtahid and that he meets all requirements is enough to consider his following as permissible and it is not necessary to ask others thereafter.
