Some scholars have opted for the permissibility of taqlīd (following a qualified scholar) in talfīq (combining different juristic opinions), among them the eminent Hanbalī scholar Marʿī al-Karmī. Dr. Wahbah al-Zuhaylī mentioned that the claim of a consensus (ijmāʿ) on the impermissibility of talfīq requires evidence, and he pointed to a clear difference of opinion among scholars on this issue.
