Mujtahid Name Aayat-ul-Allah Seestani 
Question Salaam, One of my friend is in doubt(shak) abt his baloogat(Balig) age, currently his age is 31. As he recalls, inquire and also with ref. below attached material extract fm www.islamic-laws.com, without any doubt or shak, he was following Aya. Khoie and also in his taqleed. Right now he is completely doing taqleed of Aya. Khoie and following his fatwas. Is he doing the right thing? Iltimas-e-dua =============== Material extract from www.islamic-laws.com =================== RULING OF AYATULLAH SEESTANI ON TAQLEED If a baligh person has done taqleed of a Mujtahid, who is now dead (e.g. Ayatullah Khui or Ayatullah Khumaini), and if that person wants to do taqleed of Ayatullah Seestani now, then it is wajib for that person to continue to follow the masail of that dead Mujtahid as long as he is sure that the present state of knowledge (ilm) of Ayatullah Seestani is not yet more than the knowledge of his dead Mujtahid. If that person is not sure about whose knowledge is more now, then also he must continue to follow the masail of his dead Mujtahid if the knowledge of that dead Mujtahid was more than the knowledge of Ayatullah Seestani at that time. Thus all followers of Ayatullah Khui and Ayatullah Khomeini, now through the above fatwa of Ayatullah Seestani, must continue to follow the masail of their dead Marja as long as the above conditions exist. Only in new masail (not covered by their dead Marja), they can follow the fatwa of Ayatullah Seestani. Due to above fatwa of Ayatullah Seestani, only two types of persons can start and remain in complete taqleed of Ayatullah Seestani: (a) A person, who has never done taqleed of any Marja before, (b) Children born in or after 1985 (because these children became sensible after the death of two main Marja i.e. Khui and Khomeini; Khui died in 1992 and Khomeini in 1989). 
Answer Agar aap k dost nay Ayat ullah khoe ki taqleed on ki zindagi main os waqt bhi ki ho jab k wo baligh nahi thay (yani nabaaligh magar achahay buray ki tameez raknay wala) tab bhi Ayat Ullah Seestani (d.b), k mutabiq agar merhoom mujtahid, zindah mujtahid k muqaablay main aalam (ziyadah jaanay wala) ho tu merhoom mujtahid ki taqleed per baaqi rehna wajib hay.werna zindah aalam mujtahid k masail per amal kerna hoga.or agar kisi k bhi aalam honay ka yaqeen nah hosakay ya dono ilm main baraber hon tu iktiyaar hay k kisi bhi aik ki taqleed main ajaay. (Ayat Ullah Seestani (d.b), Mihaa jus saliheen Part#1,maslah #5,7).
