Re: Having a hard time understanding madhabs
Yes, but is (for example) the position of your hands during salat related to good and evil? Imam’s had to produce guidelines because Quran and Sunnah were silent or obscure for some issues. The fact that different Imams interpret the same thing differently is a demonstration of the fact that those things are obscure to begin with. Would I be judged on obscure things? I hope not.
The verse is a fantastic reference. If someone does something considered ‘khair’ in Quaran or Sunnah, or considered ‘sher’ in Quran or Sunnah, he/she would be judged accordingly. If something is so obscure that different scholars reached different conclusions about it, you can follow any, but I really really hope those are not the issues we would be judged on.
