I think this view is a very middle path and balanced view between two extremes. May Allah preserve you Shaykh

[Qishloqda]

In our society, sticking to one madhab is widely and strongly encouraged. Jazakallohu khoir, brother Tom

[TheGoodTreeChannel]

I've had this specific question for a long time, Jazak Allah kheir this clarifies things plenty.

[Abuzar_Suhail]

JazakAllah Khair Imam Tom for answering my question. Precise and to the point.

[Imran-tugq]

Wow.... A simple solution to a very complicated problem.

[Yoyo-dxwz]

Layman must follow a madhab inshort...
Layman choose picking is dangerous

[Rosyrasul]

How about if we are not connected to someone of knowledge, it is hard especially as a woman in the west and there seems to be a lack of scholars to ask questions to 😢

[rahechowhury]

So where are you going?” (Quran, 81:26)

[May-nuvv]

I would love to follow one madhab but I find it hard to learn all the rulings due to lack of resources. Does anyone know reputable teacher or classes I can learn the madhabs or even just the one my family brought me up on? I don’t intentionally go shopping but it’s hard to stick to one when you don’t know the ins and outs of it

[Kuleto]

Which madhab does the Shiekh follow if you don't mind me asking; and what is the madhab of Utica Masjid generally? - Just wondering.

Thank you much for the knowledge (and the "intellectual stimulation"). May Allah bless -

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَيَنْتَقِمَ لِلَّهِ بِهَا

الشرح:
حديث عائشة: قوله: (بين أمرين) أي من أمور الدنيا، يدل عليه قوله " ما لم يكن إثما " لأن أمور الدين لا إثم فيها، وأبهم فاعل " خير " ليكون أعم من أن يكون من قبل الله أو من قبل المخلوقين، وقوله "إلا أخذ أيسرهما " أي أسهلهما.

وقوله "ما لم يكن إثما " أي ما لم يكن الأسهل مقتضيا للإثم فإنه حينئذ يختار الأشد.

[naifal-baloushi]

Actually all Mudhab are ijthad of scholars and valid, for a layman its permissible to find what he feels the right opinion considering the accountability and the good intention.

[daasguy]

I wanted to ask, I have seen people is south Asia go out fatwa shopping on any topic so the thing is have they researched that this topic exist in Hadith or in Quran. Also, how are the scholars or sheikhs dealing with it are they directly giving verdict based on their opinion happens a lot in south Asian hanafi madhab.
Surah tawbah
9:31
They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, 1 even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

Considering this surah aren't we also following the judgement of our imams and sheikhs we approach? I.e. if they are giving their own judgement?

[abuyusuf]

Sticking to one madhab is like sticking to one scholar and rejecting every other scholar. We should follow all the scholars especially those matters where there is a scholarly consensus. Madhabs are redundant in todays age. They had a purpose in their time when people didnt have access to modern communications but today we should follow all the authentic scholars. Fatwa shopping is a problem for those who dont go directly to the source only.

[misspenguin]

i am hanafi but i know that there are certain points in which the hanafi medhab is the odd one out of the 4 because all of them agree for example that the wiping of the neck during wudu is not legislated yet the hanafis say it is sunnah so what should i do in such cases as someone who has not really much knowledge. Should i just follow the madhab ?

[EquinoXReZ]

Salamulaikum!
When you say “people shopping around in order to do something that they shouldn’t be doing” I don’t quite understand. If every madhab is correct then no matter which one you take from you wouldn’t you be within permissibility? Some clarification would be greatly appreciated JAK

[TheYakuza]

I am a Muslim sunni but I do not follow any school of thought or madhab.

[sabeelshah]

You are completely wrong. I will explain you why in detail.
