Fawaid al Rijaliyah by Wahid Behbahani, Page 11
واما المسائل الفقهية فقد ثبت جواز التعبد بالظن وورد به الشرع اما في
أمثال زماننا فلا يكاد توجد مسألة تثبت بتمامها من الاجماع من دون ضميمة
أصالة العدم أو خبر الواحد أو أمثالها وكذا من الكتاب أو الخبر القطعي لو
كان مع أن المتن ظني في الكل سيما في أمثال زماننا
و (بالجملة) المدار على الظن قطعا واما في زمان الشارع فكثير منها كانت مبنية عليه مثل تقليد المفتين وخبر الواحد وظاهر الكتاب
And as for the Islamic jurisprudential issues, so it has been established that following guesswork in it is allowed and it is stated in the sacred Islamic law. As for the cases in our age, so hardly any Islamic jurisprudential matter is found established totally from consensus without supplementation of "asalah al 3dam" (An Islamic jurisprudential rule abut certain things being originally impermissible), or khabar al wahid* or similar; as well as from the Qur'an or an established hadith if even though the text was totally assumptive. (This is so) Especially in our time.
To conclude, the reliance upon guesswork is soundly established, and as for the period of the infallibles (as), then many issues among them were based on it (guesswork); such as taqlid of muftis, khabar al wahid and apparent text of the Qur'an.
