660	Resolving marajid taqleed	Salam I follow the taqleed of the late Ayatollah Fadullallah (may Allah bless his soul). However, I've been forwarded controversial articles regarding His Eminence. As a person without knowledge, I am unable to verify whether these are true or not. I am at a loss now as to whether I should be following another marajah. Could your office tell me, who is the most knowledgeable of our ulama that we all should do our taqleed to? Why isn't there a committee set up by the marajahs to reconcile differences of opinions among themselves? For example, I have a cat and it is easier for me to follow Ayatollah Sistani than Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah bless them both). But I would not like my following to be base on that issue. Please tell me among the ulamas and alims, whom have they decided to be the most knowledgeable amongst the marajahs? I would like to know the answer asap so that I can make a decision in this matter of taqleed. I thank you.	Answered
