The study reveals the perceptions of British Shia Muslims on the issues of religious authority and its relevance vis-{\`a}-vis their own lives in the UK. The project{\textquoteright}s findings expose stark contradictions in the attitudes of some British Shia, with their dissatisfactions with clerical religious authority on one hand, and a sense of compulsion to abide by their rulings on the other.The research opens up this relatively uncultivated area for further social science research within UK{\textquoteright}s Shia population, particularly with regards to attitudes towards religious authority and its impact.",
