Talfīq means: to mingle, collect or gather it. The predecessor scholars used this term only to its literal meanings whereas for the successors; an issue comprising the solutions in such a way as its compound form may not be acceptable to any jurists. Talfīq has the same whereabouts as Taqlīd does; only its ijtihādī issues but worth known that talfīq is not allowed in the issues of belief and ethics. Talfīq may be in three various kinds; first Talfīq in various issues like: to adopt Hanafi school of thought and Maliki school of thought in social affairs, second Talfīq in various sub issues under one major issue, third To gather opinion of various jurists about an issue that no jurist will favor its compound form. The writer opines that the majority of predecessor and successor jurists seem agreed to combine the arguments of both these groups. Today, it has now become necessary to solve the contemporary complications in the compilation of Fiqh particularly in collective Ijtihad. Only in Collective Ijtihad, it will be the best way of practice to save it from an illusion.
