Abu I-Qasim Al-Khu’i writes:
إن الولاية لم تثبت للفقيه في عصر الغيبة بدليل وإنما هي مختصة بالنبي والأئمة عليهم السلام
“The governorship of the legal scholar (Wilayat-ul-Faqih) in the time of concealment has not a single proof and is only restricted for Prophet Muhammad (s.) and the Imams (a.).” [At-Tanqih Fi Sharhi l-Urwati l-Wuthqa, Volume 1, page 360]
