For Shi'i Muslims, grave importance is placed on following the rulings of a qualified jurist, with trust in his correctness. Whichever mujtahid someone follows is a matter of choice, but it is expected that this choice will be taken seriously and a prospective mujtahid should be investigated for righteousness. For Sunni Mulsims, taqlid is understood differently and means following any one of the four major schools of thought founded by imams from the 9th to the 11th centuries: Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi'i.
