When I was performing Umrah (recommended hajj), someone asked me who my Mujtahid was. I said to him that I was following Imam Khomeini (may his soul rest in peace). Then he asked me if I had sought and acquired a living Mujtahid’s permission for remaining in taqlid of Imam. I was surprised to hear that but now I am planning to follow a living Mujtahid and the question is: Was there any problem in the Umrah pilgrimage that I performed?
