    as following a Mujtahid who I believed to be worthy of being a Marja, but I later realized after some research that and he was not the most knowledgeable and his ijtihad was questionable. A trusted person told me that a particular Marja was amongst the most knowledgeable Mujtahids, and I began following him although I was not certain that He was the most knowledgeable. Is my taqleed valid?

    If it has been proven to you via religious evidence that there are Marjas who are more knowledgeable than the Marja that you used to follow, you should refrain from following the latter and search for the most knowledgeable amongst those Marjas. If you could determine him by religious evidence then you should emulate him. If you could not, you must choose the most pious amongst them and if the said is not possible too, you can choose one of them and emulate him.

    Can I do taqleed of Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem even though he has passed away?

    The believers should refer to the most knowledgeable living Mujtahid to find out the religious obligation in this particular issue. If the opinion of the mujtahid is the permissibility of following his Eminence, then it is permissible to follow him. It is also permissible to follow him if the view of the living most knowledgeable mujtahid is the permissibility to follow a deceased Marja.
