How can I do righteous deeds and avoid bad deeds of my own free will when I know that the Caliph of God on the earth has the knowledge of the unseen?

20	20	Imitation In the time of Prophet and his successors, some people lived in distant locations from them and did not have access to them to learn their religion and ask their questions. So, the Prophet and his successors appointed a representative in that city or area and people learned their religion from him. Now here is the question: Was the appointed person infallible? Was it impossible for him to give a wrong answer? So, how is it that people did not go astray?
