Re: Final decisions
Difference of opinion in matters of fiqh has never really been and should never be a cause for disunity... these differences are there from the earliest times... even the companions of the Prophet (saw) were never as a whole united on exactly the same fiqh opinions on every issue... but that's not the problem... the problem is our inability to be accommodating of legitimate divergent views, instead unashamedly using such differences as excuses to shout "disunity!" and lambaste fellow Muslims... historically, the scholars have always been above such petty quibbling on matters where there’s scope for more than one view
so I think we are coming at this from entirely the wrong angle... the question is not how we can codify jurisprudic rulings... but how we can work on keeping our hearts united despite our varied opinions
