Proponents of Akhbarism take [[ijtihad]] to be [[haram]], that is, forbidden or illegitimate by [[Shari'a]], but proponents of Usulism take it to be [[al-wajib al-kafa'i]] or a "social obligation" (that is, it is obligatory to be carried out by a sufficient number of people in which case it would not be obligatory for others) and some of them take it to be [[al-wajib al-'ayni]] or an "individual obligation" (that is, obligatory for everyone). In his well-known book, ''[[al-Faqa'id al-madaniyya]]'', [[Mulla Muhammad Amin al-Astarabadi]] denies the method of ijtihad, holding that such a method was never practiced by early Shiite scholars. | Proponents of Akhbarism take [[ijtihad]] to be [[haram]], that is, forbidden or illegitimate by [[Shari'a]], but proponents of Usulism take it to be [[al-wajib al-kafa'i]] or a "social obligation" (that is, it is obligatory to be carried out by a sufficient number of people in which case it would not be obligatory for others) and some of them take it to be [[al-wajib al-'ayni]] or an "individual obligation" (that is, obligatory for everyone).
