Q: What procedures should we take in shifting from one Marji‘ to another?
A: According to obligatory caution, it is impermissible to shift from a living Marji‘ to another unless the second Marji‘ is – possibly or for sure - more learned and his verdict in that particular issue(s) differs from that of the first Marji‘. In this case, it is obligatory — as per obligatory caution — to shift to him.
