Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

It just started to sound bizarre just in these past 100 years.. not the so many hundred years that madhabs were followed.

Again, he is following options "from within" Islam, not making up his own.

All 4 madhabs are derived from the Quran and Sunnah. All 4 have been considered correct for 100s of years and are considered correct and inshAllah will be considered correct. Just stick to one and you will be alright.

Similarly, you can stick to ALL 4 and still be alright.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

No, you cannot because one view may come into conflict and both will be eliminated that way.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

Igorance? Bro, when the need arises I go out and seek the view of the Hanafi madhab.

Respected Mufti mentions that:

But the people equipped with necessary qualifications of ijtihad need not follow a particular madhhab. They can derive the rules of Shari’ah directly from their original sources. Similarly, the persons who are not fully qualified for the exercise of ijtihad, yet they are so well-versed in the Islamic disciplines that they can evaluate the different juristic views on pure academic grounds without being motivated by their personal desires are never forbidden from preferring one madhhab over the other in a particular matter. There is a large number of Hanafi jurists who, despite their allegiance to Imam Abu Hanifah, have adopted the view of some other jurist in several juristic issues. Still, they are called ‘Hanafi’.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

whose conflict? Hadith/Quran?

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

The example of the wudhu breaking, if you follow the shafi madhab for that case without any reason whatsoever then it is like following your desires. Which Islam does not allow.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

My question is, is the "conflict" of his actions with "Hadith" or with "Quran"?

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

None. The conflict arises is the difference of opinion which is correct but for the follower he will be confused.

erm…please explain

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

Remember, 'follower' is doing by choice... if you agree that it neither conflicts with hadith or Quran then whats the issue?

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

can you show that the time described for Isha is “14 degrees” and how come sun doesn’t decline 14 or degrees below? Are you saying you get some sort of sun-light in sky 2 hours after Maghrib?

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

yeah go figure

cricketplaya · January 26, 2007, 7:01pm

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

I already told you... it's the difference of opinion. They are all correctly derived from the Quran and Sunnah so just stick to one.

hypnotix-2000 · January 26, 2007, 7:26pm

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

and yet they are quite different (even in approach sometimes)

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

Let me give you an example of how us muslims behave because of these madhabs. Say you have two people who want to go to Dallas. There are many highways, which would take you there. Each person has his own preference of which highway they want to use to get to Dallas. All is well as long as they are not together.

Put them together in one car and then the trouble starts, each one wants to go to Dallas via their own preference. Now who gives way to who. An intelligent reply would be based on the circumstances i.e. do you want to get their faster, smoother or whatever reason that needs to be accounted for. And those reaons should be the deciding factor in choosing which highway the two people will take.

So if our people or muslims can learn to accept each others viewpoint based on the situation they are in together, then it work work well. When individuals are concerned, do what best suits your need or pleases you. When together do what best suits the needs of the situation in which all are involved.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

They are all derived from Quran and Sunnah then there is NOTHING wrong with following one or the other.

Re: Following one Particular Imam in every Juristic Issue

There is NOTHING wrong you're right but you should stick to only one.
