@WitchDr

My reason of this reply is not bashing but to increase my understanding. If the faith depends on understanding that all the four are correct, then there should be absolutely no reason not to pick and choose. One will only be picking and choosing from the already approved Shari'ah. What is meant by personal desires here? Personal desire in fulfilling Islam's requirements in an already approved way should not be a source of alarm to anyone. As long as it is allowed by Islam, how doing such an act can lead to sin?

What is meant by layman here? If I am understanding the meaning of layman here correctly, then a layman can be the greatest factor in the reunification of our religion. If we leave this to the so called scholars, the reunification of different fiqh will never take place and will lead to further division. However, it will not be in the interest of the high ups of the different fiqh to allow this, as this will errode their authority.

You're allowed to pick any madhab you wish but you have to stick to it all the way. The desires can be dangerous as the Mufti explained.

Layman is like me. I can't go out and study all hadith books and understand them. Can you?
