ANSWER:

The concept of giving bai’ah to other than the Muslim ruler who leads the country, is an innovation. 

Is taking bai’at from any alim to ask for solutions of worldly problems,or to know islam is permissible? Or is the term only for the caliph?, in our country,lot of people, ask alims about their problems,and they say, it helps to get rid of waswasa from saitan & they claim ashraf ali thanwi(ra) said, it is mustahaab, if u wish, u can do it. Is these true or shirk?
