Ustadh, I read that the Salafi manhaj discourages blind taqlid but allows following scholars when someone cannot research themselves. Can you clarify what the correct position is on taqlid in our manhaj

It is very simple, yes we follow the evidence purely. However, we study the madh-habs to to learn fiqh and how the people of ilm reached certain conclusions, used the evidences, compared between similar things, applied rulings etc...
