Hanafi? Maliki? Shafi'? Hanbali? Explaining Sunni Schools of Thought | Dr. Shabir Ally

This video will explain the differences in practice between each #Sunni school of thought. It will explore the history behind these differences and what events led to these individual schools. Dr. Shabir Ally begins by describing the emergence of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’ and Hambali schools of thought. He explains that location, access to the Prophet and availability of #hadiths led to differences in methodology. Interestingly, scholars have always recognized that though one school of thought might deem something to be haram or impermissible while another views it to be halal or permissible, this diversity is the product of a system of sound methodology, so each position is acceptable. Dr. Shabir explains that ultimately some points in the religion are obscure and we don’t have enough information to know what the truth is.

Following a Imam ( Hanifa, Malik, al-Shafi'i, and Ibn Hanbal.) is not a islamic teaching. WE $HOULD RESPECT ALL 4 IMAMS BY FOLLOWING THEY WISH All four imams said if you find a hadith which contradicts what they have taught you then REJECT What we taught you & follow the teachings of Prophet P.B.U.H Are you ready to follow a imam if it means REJECTING a Hadith ❓ Q-uestion For people who say we have to show our respect to the imams by following one imam > Do you not think you are disrespecting the other 3 imams by following one ❓

They were many among the companions of prophet. We should not warship no one expect Allah and should not follow no one but prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him. It’s enough for us if we stick with the Holy Quran and follow the path of the Prophet which is his Sunnah. There are no ethnic groups in Islam but we all are one Umma.

Alhumdulilah I am the follower of Fiqh Hanafi, but All the four Imams were Haq! I love them all !

[@istiaquebeenkhurshid9892]

Same, we follow Hanafi fiqh, and Love all the Imams.

[@istiaquebeenkhurshid9892]

@Md. Siam Hossain it is the common fiqh for the land. Not every man can extract ruling from TEXT and not every man should. So we follow scholars, we TAKLEED an IMAM. Also, HANAFI fiqh is not all fatwas from Imam Numan Bin Sabit , there are fatwas from his students and later contemporary scholars - anything they derive for new era does not go against previous generation and eventually goes back to Shabas, Rasul Sallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam and QURAN. That's why Hanafis ( like followers of other imams ) also part of Ahlus Sunnah Waal Jamah. Nowadays, fatwas are issued by a council consists of multiple muftis - not any one's single fatwa - that's why all of them are known together as Hanafi School. And Ikhtilaf does not make anyone Non-Believer.

[@istiaquebeenkhurshid9892]

@Md. Siam Hossain you don't wanna KNOW, you wanna ARGUE, that's why this is my last comment brother. Ansewr is NO! - ANY MAN ( Who is not a Talibul Ilm - student of fiqh ) can not and SHOULD NOT EXTRACT RULLING from TEXT, any text - he is not qualified to IJTIHAD on his own. You do not just open a medicine book and treat yourself when you are sick, you MUST SEE A DOCTOR ( MUFTI / SCHOLAR ) - But to KNOW yes, they can read any fiqhi book - point to be noted here is - when any man reading a fatwa book - ( example - Do this Don't DO that ) he is not "EXTRACTING RULLING" rather he is reading "EXTRACTED RULLING" - and yet, he can not use these fatwas when the situation comes, he must seek fatwa from a mufti or better - A COUNCIL OF MUFTIS.

[@suhailakbar9631]

Muhammad Sallahu walaihi wasllam( Rasoolallah) ke wafat ke bad 2 firqa chala, 1 Hazrat Ali (a.s.) se aur dusra Mawiya se. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) wale Shia kahlaye aur Mawia wale Ahle Sunnat wal Jamat yani Sunni kahlaye. Ab history se to yahi pata chalta hai ki ek mazhab Rasool ki family se chala aur dusra Hukumati Talwar walo se. Ab es digital media aur education ke daur me khud ko decide karna hai kisko follow karna hai aur kisko nahi. Sunni badi tezi se Shia me convert ho rahe hai. Ab faisala aapka hai Shia or Sunni.

[@istiaquebeenkhurshid9892]

​@@suhailakbar9631 Disagree brother, I have respect for Shia as they are also Muslim, But I have'nt seen any Ahlus Sunnah ( who knows his religion well ) converting to Shia,neither Shia converting Sunni - But im sure some may have converted. lekin "BARI TEJ SE" ?? I dont think so. We Love Ahlul Bait, and We also follow Ali ( Ra ) - We just don't consider him god level powered. Ali (RA) gave bayah to Abu Bakr, So do we, Ali (RA) gave bayah to Umar, So do we, Ali (RA) gave bayah to Usman, So do we, And then we give bahay to Ali ( RA) - the 4 rightly guided Khulafa may allah have mercy upon all of them. Amire Muwawia may have made some "politically incorrect" decision, but we dont takfir him as he was also a companion of the Prophet ( PBUH ) - And NO WAY ANY MUSLIM SUPPORTS YAJID. and you are wrong - Mawiya's reign didn't come after Prophet's ( PBUH ) Wafat, they came many years later. And then Shia's changed and innovated some new things in Islam which Prophet (PBUH) or his companions didnt do. So we oppose thse things. Ahlus Sunnah is the eldest path, path of The Prophet ( PBUH ) and his companions, And Shias came many years after - now you tell me, who is closer to the path of beloved prophet? Was Imam Hussain Or Hassan Or Ali - any one of them shia? No! They used to follow the SUNNAH of prophet ( PBUH ) - So that makes them AHLUS SUNNAH.

I highly recommend the book "The Five Schools of Islamic Law" by Muhammad Jawad Maghniyyah. It compares the four Sunni schools and the Jafari school of the Twelver Shia (the vast majority of Shias today) It's very informative on differences in legal interpretations of essential matters of daily life and Islamic practice. It is written by a Shia writer, but it is a relatively fair and unbiased look.

MALAY SUBTITLES Part 2 of 4 04:43 bukan sekadar amalan bukan umum Madinah 04:47 tetapi dia ingin memastikan bahawa seseorang dapat membuktikan 04:50 kepada amalan tertentu yang sedang dilakukan 04:52 oleh nabi saw sendiri. 04:54 Ia tidak cukup baginya 04:56 bahawa sebilangan besar orang dari generasi itu 05:02 yang hampir dengan zaman nabi 05:03 mengikuti perkara tertentu 05:05 atau melakukan sesuatu dengan satu cara. 05:06 Dia ingin tahu adakah laporan khusus 05:09 itu boleh diuji dan boleh 05:11 dikesan sepanjang perjalanan ke belakang 05:13 kepada nabi saw. 05:14 Sebagai contoh, adakah para nabi mengatakan secara khusus melakukan ini. 05:17 Atau ada laporan yang mengatakan bahawa dia melakukan ini secara khusus. 05:21 Jadi Imam Shafi dapat kemewahan ini 05:24 melihat maklumat dengan cara ini, 05:25 kerana pada masanya, 05:28 orang telah mula mengembangkannya menjadi sains. 05:31 Jadi, seseorang yang dilahirkan di milio itu, 05:33 seperti Al Imam Shafi apa yang akan mempunyai perasaan 05:37 bahawa kita berurusan dengan sains yang tepat. 05:41 Anda tahu, jika kita mengatakan bahawa dinilai adalah sahih 05:44 maka kita mempunyai keyakinan penuh bahawa sebenarnya begitu. 05:49 Manakala orang yang dilahirkan pada waktu yang lebih awal 05:51 ketika sains tidak begitu tepat 05:53 tidak akan mempunyai keyakinan itu. 05:54 Begitu juga Imam Shafi yang mempunyai keyakinan itu. 05:56 Oleh itu, dia muncul dengan sistem pemikiran 05:59 yang lebih jelas bergantung pada laporan khusus, 06:04 bukannya amalan umum. 06:07 Akan datang Imam Shafi yang baru adalah Ahmad ibn Hanbal. 06:12 Dan dia menjadi eponim dari apa yang mungkin kita gambarkan sekarang 06:15 sebagai sekolah keempat. 06:17 Dan pada zamannya hadis itu bahkan 06:20 lebih berkembang hingga membuahkan hasil. 06:22 Oleh itu, dia menyusun buku 30,000 hadis. 06:26 Sedangkan sebagai perbandingan pada Imam Malik menyusun sebuah buku 06:29 yang hanya mempunyai sekitar 500 hadis, 06:32 dari nabi saw sendiri, 06:34 dan kemudian laporan lain dari orang lain. 06:36 Ahmad ibn hanbal rendah hati mempunyai 30,000. 06:39 Dia dapat melihat perbezaan yang besar jika kita ingin tahu 06:41 apa yang dikatakan oleh nabi saw 06:43 mengenai subjek dari A hingga Z dalam Imam Malik Muwatta, 06:47 anda tidak akan menemui banyak hadis yang berurusan 06:49 dengan pelbagai mata pelajaran. 06:50 Tetapi dalam koleksi Imam Ahmed, anda dapati hadis berlimpah. 06:55 Jadi apa perbezaannya? 06:58 Ini bermaksud bahawa semasa anda bersenjata 07:01 dengan Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal telah dikumpulkan dengan rendah hati, 07:03 daripada 30,000 hadis, 07:05 ada sedikit ruang untuk pendapat 07:08 dan untuk anda memikirkan perkara 07:09 kerana anda mempunyai arahan khusus sekarang 07:12 hampir pada semua perkara dari A hingga Z. 07:15 Oleh itu, kepercayaan dan amalan muncul 07:18 dengan cara itu menjadi sangat literalistik. 07:21 Dan beberapa orang mengambilnya lebih jauh daripada ini. 07:26 Dawud Ibn Hazm, 07:28 muncul dengan apa yang disebut sebagai Mazhab Zahiri, 07:32 dan perkara itu berlaku walaupun secara harfiah. 07:35 Banyak literalisme yang ada 07:37 dalam metodologi Hanbali juga, 07:40 dan ia harus menjadi pada zaman moden 07:46 sebenarnya agak menyatu dengan metodologi Hanbali. 07:50 Oleh itu, kita dapati bahawa di beberapa tempat seperti 07:53 contohnya di Arab Saudi di mana sekolah Hanbali 07:56 telah menjadi sekolah secara lalai yang dikenali dan diamalkan 08:02 dan undang-undang yang dilaksanakan di negara ini. 08:05 Di sana kita dapati aplikasi yang lebih harfiah 08:10 undang-undang tertentu. 08:11 Manakala sebagai contoh, 08:12 di beberapa bahagian dunia 08:14 di mana anda mempunyai mazhab Hanafi, 08:16 dalam praktiknya anda akan menemui lebih banyak jenis, 08:22 liberal bukanlah istilah yang tepat 08:24 tetapi pendekatan yang lebih rasional di mana orang mungkin melihat 08:28 pada objektif di sebalik undang-undang 08:30 dan semangat di sebalik perkara 08:33 daripada aplikasi literal. 08:36 - Jadi apa maksudnya? 08:38 Anda tahu, anda telah menyebut empat sekolah berbeza ini. 08:40 Apa maksudnya 08:41 untuk kepelbagaian amalan Islam? 08:44 - Ini bermaksud bahawa umat Islam harus menerima kepelbagaian. 08:46 Dan sebenarnya umat Islam umumnya telah belajar 08:49 untuk hidup dengan kepelbagaian ini. 08:50 Mungkin orang biasa terkejut 08:53 jika mereka hanya terbiasa dengan satu perkara 08:56 dan kemudian mereka pergi ke kawasan lain dan mereka dapati 09:00 bahawa orang mempraktikkan perkara untuk sedikit berbeza. 09:03 Ini agak aneh bagi mereka. 09:05 Tetapi para sarjana mengetahui tentang kepelbagaian ini. 09:07 Mereka baru sahaja melaksanakan satu sistem 09:10 di satu kawasan di dunia 09:12 kerana itu lebih mudah untuk mengajar orang. 09:14 Lebih mudah untuk mengajar satu sistem kepada orang biasa 09:17 daripada memberitahu mereka secara teori, 09:19 anda tahu, ini boleh menjadi salah satu daripada empat sistem ini. 09:22 - Begitu juga kesannya, 09:23 anda tahu perkara kecil seperti perincian doa 09:26 atau adakah ia mempengaruhi masalah teologi yang lebih luas juga? 09:29 - Masalah teologi tidak begitu banyak 09:31 walaupun terdapat beberapa masalah teologi 09:33 yang tercalar boleh anda katakan 09:37 dengan pendekatan yang berbeza dan sebagainya.

I appreciate this video and your views on it so much! I'm still trying to learn everything I can about Islam before I decide to revert and this has made it so much easier to understand the different aspects of the Sunni schools. I think, from what I heard from you and have researched myself, that I would follow the fiqh of the Shafi'i school because I agree with being very cautious and as accurate as possible about hadiths, as Al-Shafi'i would be. I appreciate his caution and adherence to the holy Qur'an immensely, and that he put a lot of effort into ensuring that the Shafi'i school was following what they believed to be the most accurate teachings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salaam. overall, your videos and articles have made learning about the Qur'an, sunnah, and Islam in general much easier and have helped me form fairly well-rounded understandings. it's all in all made me feel much more comfortable with saying shahada.

Kamu tidak boleh memakannya." 11:17 Jadi anda mungkin mempunyai dua orang Muslim berdampingan 11:19 dan seseorang memakannya kerana sekolahnya mengatakan 11:21 ini dibenarkan. 11:22 Yang lain menghindarinya 11:25 kerana sekolahnya mengatakan bahawa itu adalah haram. 11:28 Adalah dosa untuk dimakan. 11:29 Tetapi dia sambil mengelakkannya untuk dirinya sendiri, 11:32 dia harus menerima bahawa saudara atau saudaranya dalam iman 11:35 mengikuti sistem. 11:37 Di sini kita melihat sistem pemikiran. 11:40 Ia adalah sistem pemikiran yang dipandu 11:44 pengikut sekolah itu membuat kesimpulan tertentu 11:46 kesimpulannya mungkin salah 11:48 kerana anda tidak dapat membuat kedua kesimpulan dengan betul. 11:51 Perkara ini halal dan haram pada masa yang sama. 11:54 Atau Tuhan memerintahkan ini agar halal bagi para Shafi, 11:58 tapi haram untuk yang Hanafi. 12:00 Tidak, ini adalah peraturan Tuhan untuk satu perkara. 12:03 Tetapi kita tidak tahu apa itu satu perkara. 12:05 Dan dua pendapat berbeza timbul. 12:07 Beberapa orang berkata, ini perkara ini. 12:09 Dan beberapa orang berkata, ini perkara. 12:11 Oleh itu, kita harus menerimanya secara prinsip 12:13 kerana mereka mengikuti metodologi yang baik, 12:16 mereka hanya berusaha mencari jalan yang betul. 12:18 Tetapi mereka melihatnya melalui lensa yang berbeza 12:21 dan kami mempunyai lensa yang berbeza. 12:24 Dan kita tidak boleh mempunyai semua lensa yang sama 12:25 sama seperti kita tidak boleh mengambil lensa dari mata kita sendiri 12:28 dan masukkan ke mata orang lain. 12:30 Kita akan melihat perkara yang berbeza, 12:32 dan ia dilihat berbeza di satu sekolah, 12:35 dengan setia mereka telah sampai pada kesimpulan ini. 12:38 Oleh itu, kita biarkan kesimpulan mereka 12:40 dan kita tahu bahawa Tuhan tidak akan menghukum mereka 12:46 kerana mencapai kesimpulan itu kerana mereka mencapai 12:49 kesimpulan itu melalui biasiswa yang baik. 12:51 Kebetulan, anda tahu 12:53 terdapat beberapa perkara yang tidak jelas dalam tradisi ini 12:59 bahawa yang terbaik dari para sarjana kita akan sampai 13:01 pada dua pendapat yang berbeza mengenainya. 13:03 - Oleh itu Dr.Shabir, satu soalan terakhir, 13:05 adakah mungkin seorang muslim memilih dan memilih 13:07 antara mazhab pemikiran dari segi 13:09 cara mereka mengamalkan Islam? 13:10 - Yeah. Secara amnya, bagi orang biasa, 13:13 pilihan tidak tersedia secara umum 13:16 kerana apa yang berlaku dalam praktik adalah 13:17 sekolah itu menjadi meluas di kawasan tertentu. 13:21 Maksud saya, sebelum ... 13:22 Mari kita fikirkan sebelum sekolah menjadi meluas. 13:23 Terdapat hanya warna-warna ini di sekitar. 13:25 Jadi seseorang mungkin pergi ke Iraq 13:27 dan mencari pengajaran Imam Hanifi di sana. 13:29 Orang mungkin pergi ke Madinah dan mencari 13:30 bahawa Imam Malik mengajar di sana. 13:32 Dan anda bertanya kepada saya mengenai interaksi. 13:34 Jadi salah seorang pelajar utama Imam Abu Hanifa, 13:37 Mohammad bin Hassan Shaybani pergi ke Madinah 13:41 dan dia mempelajari buku Imam Malik, Muwatta 13:45 dan dia menyusun edisi Muwatta sendiri. 13:49 Jadi mereka tahu maklumat yang sama ada pelajar 13:51 antara satu sama lain dan sebagainya. 13:52 Terdapat interaksi seperti ini 13:54 tetapi sekarang beberapa orang mungkin pergi 13:55 ke Iraq dan mengikuti Imam Abu Hanifa di sana. 13:58 Sebilangan orang yang mungkin tinggal di Madinah 13:59 mereka mengikuti Imam Malik. 14:01 Ia akan menjadi sukar 14:02 bagi mereka di Madinah untuk mengikuti Imam Abu Hanifa 14:04 kerana dia jauh dan mereka tidak mempunyai telefon

Dear Dr. Shabbir. MAy Allah Have His Continued Blessings on you and Family. I was born in Hanafi family but have now lived in middle east (primarily Saudi Arabia ) for 2 years. I now follow both Hanafi and Hambali schools in my daily practices, which I personally believe are both not incorrect. With how information is spreading, more and more people will come in contact with scholars from schools other than what they practice and eventually lots of mixing of practices. Do you believe this is something which is acceptable.

He understands Objectivity, Subjectivity and Relativity, and understands things aren't so clear cut, as many people would have you believe,

MALAY SUBTITLES Part 4 of 4 14:07 saling memanggil setiap hari 14:08 dan ketahui apa pemikiran baru 14:10 mengenai masalah baru yang timbul. 14:13 Jadi orang cenderung mengikuti biasiswa di daerah mereka. 14:16 Kini biasiswa ini menjadi kukuh 14:19 di kawasan tertentu, 14:21 orang yang dilahirkan 14:22 di kawasan itu secara semula jadi cenderung mengikutinya. 14:24 Oleh itu, anda akan menemui orang 14:26 dari sub-benua Enerpac secara semula jadi 14:28 mereka kebanyakan mengikuti Mazhab Hanafi. 14:31 Orang di Arab Saudi kebanyakannya Sekolah Hanbali 14:33 kerana itulah yang berlaku di sana. 14:36 Jadi orang biasa tidak mempunyai jenis ini 14:38 kemewahan mengikut satu sama lain- 14:40 - Tetapi lakukan di Kanada, bukan? 14:41 Kerana mereka- - Di Kanada semuanya bercampur. 14:44 Tetapi saya mahu membezakannya 14:46 bahawa para ulama mempunyai tanggungjawab 14:50 untuk mengetahui apa yang betul, 14:51 dan mengikuti apa yang betul. 14:53 Oleh itu, jika sarjana boleh yakin dengan sekolah tertentu 14:56 dan ikuti itu, 14:58 mereka mungkin yakin 14:59 bahawa sekolah tertentu lebih penting 15:03 tetapi mereka mungkin terus patuh 15:06 oleh sekolah yang popular diikuti di kawasan mereka. 15:11 Dan contoh yang baik ini 15:12 adalah Shah Waliullah dari Delhi, 15:14 kerana dia tinggal di Delhi, 15:16 dia mematuhi Mazhab Hanafi kerana 15:18 yang tersebar luas di sana. 15:19 Tetapi dengan keyakinan, dia berfikir 15:21 bahawa Mazhab Shafii lebih penting. 15:25 Tetapi tentu saja dia tidak mahu mengelirukan orang biasa. 15:28 Kerana orang biasa tidak akan dapat 15:30 untuk menyerap dua sekolah sekaligus. 15:32 Cukup untuk mempelajarinya dengan semua perinciannya 15:35 dan melakukannya dengan betul. 15:36 Sekarang, dalam keadaan kosmopolitan kita. 15:39 Inilah kami di kawasan Toronto 15:40 dengan orang dari seluruh dunia, 15:42 berikutan pelbagai sekolah- 15:44 - Anda tumbuh di masjid dan 15:45 orang di sebelah anda mungkin berdoa dengan cara yang berbeza. 15:46 - Yeah. 15:47 - Orang di hadapan anda mungkin 15:48 berdoa sama sekali berbeza. 15:49 - Ya, jadi pertama kita harus datang 15:52 bahawa kedudukan toleransi untuk mengenali 15:54 bahawa ini adalah pelbagai amalan yang diketahui 15:57 dalam biasiswa Muslim, 15:58 diiktiraf secara meluas, dan diakui 16:00 dan disahkan sebagai produk metodologi yang bernas. 16:05 Jadi, semuanya boleh diterima. 16:06 Tetapi boleh diterima untuk orang yang telah diajar dengan cara itu. 16:10 Kita tidak akan melakukan sesuatu tanpa diajar. 16:12 Kami tidak mencipta sendiri. 16:13 Dan kami tidak mengatakan, "Ah, itu kelihatan seperti sesuatu yang bagus, 16:15 izinkan saya mencubanya untuk perubahan. " 16:17 Sekarang anda harus mengikuti biasiswa bunyi. 16:19 Anda semestinya anda tahu ... 16:20 Kerana akhirnya, anda mahu mengikuti 16:22 apa yang Tuhan dan utusanNya katakan 16:24 Anda mahu mengikuti apa yang Tuhan katakan dalam Al-Quran, 16:26 apa yang digambarkan oleh utusan dalam hidupnya. 16:29 Dan kerana orang biasa tidak mempunyai kecerdasan untuk ... 16:33 Maksud saya, bukan kita tidak mempunyai kepintaran yang kita lakukan, 16:35 tetapi kita telah menumpukan kepintaran kita 16:38 ke bidang pengajian lain. 16:39 Seseorang telah menjadi akauntan, 16:41 seseorang telah menjadi jurutera, 16:42 seseorang harus menjadi doktor perubatan 16:44 dan mereka pakar dalam semua bidang ini. 16:46 Tetapi ada pakar juga di lapangan 16:48 menafsirkan al-Quran, 16:50 dan mendapat gambaran tentang contoh kehidupan 16:54 Nabi, Muhammad saw 16:56 dan menyaring semua maklumat itu 16:58 menjadi perkara yang lebih baik dalam Undang-undang dan Amalan Islam. 17:02 Oleh itu, kita mesti berunding dengan orang-orang itu untuk mengetahui apa 17:04 adalah Undang-undang dan Amalan Islam. 17:05 Jadi, selagi anda belajar dari guru yang berkelayakan, 17:10 maka anda baik-baik saja kerana anda melakukan apa 17:13 bahawa guru yang berkelayakan menyaring dari buku Tuhan. 17:16 Dan dari contoh hidup Nabi saw. 17:20 Jadi, kita tidak mempunyai kemewahan 17:21 mencampurkan dan memadankan dengan cara ini, 17:24 tetapi tahap pertama adalah toleransi untuk menerima 17:27 bahawa terdapat pelbagai ini 17:28 tetapi tahap kedua adalah untuk pergi lebih dalam 17:31 dan memikirkan perbezaan ini. 17:33 Bagaimana mereka muncul 17:34 dan untuk menyedari bahawa kita boleh menekankan perkara ini 17:37 kerana bukan sahaja kita harus bertolak ansur 17:40 untuk orang lain yang melakukan sesuatu yang berbeza, 17:42 tetapi kita juga harus fleksibel dengan tradisi kita sendiri. 17:45 Mengetahui bahawa jika titik-titik ini sangat kabur 17:50 bahawa para sarjana tidak dapat memastikan. 17:52 Apa maksudnya? 17:53 Ada yang tiba di A 17:54 dan ada yang tiba di not A pada masa yang sama. 17:56 Dan mengetahui bahawa kedua-duanya tidak boleh berlaku, 17:59 dan itu bermakna kita mempunyai jenis 18:00 dari perjanjian lelaki yang mengatakan, 18:02 "Mari kita bersetuju bahawa anda akan melakukan A, 18:04 dan saya tidak akan A, 18:06 dan kami berdua baik-baik saja. " 18:08 Jadi ini adalah jenis lelaki, 18:10 perjanjian yang mengatakan, 18:11 "Jangan membantah perkara itu, 18:12 mari kita buat perkara kita sendiri. " 18:14 Tetapi ini bermaksud bahawa kita juga tidak boleh yakin mengenai A 18:17 atau mengenai kebalikannya. 18:19 Oleh itu, kita tidak boleh yakin dan memaksa amalan ini. 18:23 Ini bermaksud bahawa kita harus mempunyai tahap yang lebih tinggi 18:25 kelenturan dalam aplikasi 18:27 undang-undang Islam ketika membincangkan perincian ini 18:30 kerana perinciannya tidak begitu jauh. 18:32 - Terima kasih, Dr. Shabir. 18:34 Itu sungguh berwawasan dan menarik. 18:35 - Sama-sama. - Saya menghargai pemikiran anda.

In a sense it is both traditional and rational (the Maliki madhab)- because you will have more of the “living tradition” transmitted compared to other madhabs due to the location being Medina but equally Imam Malik was pretty open to reason himself and wasn’t dogmatic with Hadith (for example clearly authentic Hadith says dogs siliva is impure according to the other 3 madhabs but he said this doesn’t make sense because of the living tradition so he rejected this authentic Hadith)- as later scholars became like Imam Shafi’i or Imam Ahmad.

[@mohebarghandiwal6434]

Imam Abu Hanifa learned from those who were students of friends of Mohammed saw. A lot of ashab (who lived during the life of Our prophet) were living in Iraq. Ibm Masood was sent to Iraq by Omar R to teach people. Ali R and Ahl Bayet were there and thought people how our prophet was practicing. Imam Abu Hanifa and his students often visited Mecca and Madaina and gathered knowledge from scholars of that time. His information received and combined were more accurate because he lived and learned from those who were close to the family of our prophet. He passed away in 150 after Hijrat while Imam Shafee was born in the same year Imam Abu Hanifa died. Imam Abu Hanifa and his students were accepting only authentic Hadith and not fake Hadith. Imam Shafee’s information was based on later thousands of ahadith collection that some of them proved to fake. Imam Bukhari collected 2 to 3 hundreds ahadith and out of all he picked only 7200. Imam Muslim came up with 5000 ahadith who was Imam Bukhari’s student. Abu Daud came up with 4000 , Imam Thermidorian collected 4000, and other Imams wrote Hadith books with thousands which just confused regular people who didn’t know who was telling the truths and who were right. Therefore, as Shaykh said it is better to follow the Imam of your community where your father grew up and don’t cross from one Mathhab to another. All four are ok to follow but you need to follow one and don’t confuse yourself. Their beliefs are the same and there are only minor differences in the way they perform salat and worship.

[@Futures_Live]

Good explanation. Few comments though, now since we have have the tools available at our disposal. It is possible to have a new school of thought in current times emerging after careful consideration and consolidation of all 4 schools. If there’s a new Imam out there who is enough knowledgeable can probably do this considering the fact that Imams like Imam Shafi and Imam Hanbali who have never seen the Prophet (PBUH) but compiled his teachings and vetted their findings and came up with their schools of thought. A similar thing can happen again based on Quran and Sunnah. Bottom line, there is only ONE GOD, ONE QURAN and so ONE MADHAB for all. There shouldn't be any diversity in current time. Allah knows best!!!

[@ahmadtahmass8941]

Assalamu alaikum. I appreciate your thought but the straight answer is no. There is no scholar today or even in the past few decades even close to the 4 imams and others like them. Not even close and its mainly because of the amount of knowledge they had and who they were with. They were also surrounded by very very very knowledge people much more than what we have today. Also, the scholars we have today and in the recent past use the actual works of these 4 imams as references and resources. Secondly, we cannot have one school of thought alone because if we did that, we would be rejecting many authentic Ahadeeth from the prophet that orders to do an action in different ways or take prayer as an example. We have authentic Ahadeeth that shows us the prophet prayed in different ways. Lastly, diversity isn't a point of weakness or disunity. Rather, it makes the religion more practical and useful for people because not every human lives, acts, works the same way. If every human literally did everything the same, then you could possibly argue that we dont need diversity.

[@SAT-gm9hm]

Muhammad (sm) taught his companions 7 styles of reciting same Qura'n. Same way, we should accept that, diversity in salat that we are having should also be accepted. So, this diversity shouldn't divide us.

Salam Alaikom Subhanallah, this was so confusing, but Alhamdulillah the Dr is explaining very well. But can I ask what to do as a revert (Norwegian) and one year in Islam I learn about this. Can you please help me? What do I do? I am a student of knowledge in a Hanafi Fiqh and Islamic studies, but the ten days maximum regarding my female monthlys are confusing because I have since I got it at 15 yrs of age it is lasting for at least 12 days. And the Hadith from Aisha (RA) says to not hasten until you see purity and my wali (a Hanafi Imam) said to me that cos my period is that long then I have to wait longer than the maximum ten days. (Because it has been like that the whole time) but a sister in faith (another revert) says to not listen to the Imam (who is the leader/head of all muslims in all cities of this county) and to do as she says, which is to follow «slavicly» the 10 day limit, so what do you recommend? I do not want to cause any divition, and there are no mosque in my town, so I pray like the kiddie tutorial told me to.. But Subhanallah, I am very confused now as if to which school to follow. (Keep in mind that I have not one other person in my life that I am with, except via audio or video on the phone. Except my new neighbours who are from Syria but I have no idea what they follow!

Yes pick and choose is definitely not something one should do because then one is just looking for an opinion that suits his needs, if you can’t find the school your mosque follows then try to follow the school that’s followed in majority where you live that way it will be easy for you to interact with the scholars of that school. And Allah knows best.

[@hadooken1194]

Well there's nothing wrong in cherry picking among the schools as long as these are corroborated by Quran and hadith.. Following one school of fiqh means you consider that school to be perfect and free from error.. Remember none are free from error except Allah and his beloved messenger. For example hanafis believe in marriage of prepubescent girls where as Quran clearly states that one needs to attain bulugh (puberty) for marriage in 4:6. So if you follow one madhab completely you risk following errors too. The ahle hadiths of India and the salaafis of gulf have this ecumenical outlook to the schools of thought. Though predominantly hanbali they still don't follow it blindly.
