I follow hanafi fiqh ...Imam E azam abu hanifa r.a

[@TheGEOPOLITICAN]

i never understood adhereing to one jurisprudence - simply because for me, according to the sunnah, as in trying to follow the prophet (saw) to the best of my ability via both hadiths and past scholarly interpretations of various hadiths and Qur’anic meaning, there may be some aspects where i agree with maliki fiqh and than hanafi on other aspects and i use those teo examples becausr i mostly adhere to both Maliki and Hanafi - but its hard for me to say i follow this “x” madhhab only

[@aliozer85]

@@TheGEOPOLITICAN if you are at ijtihad level yourself you would be right, otherwise you're playing your own physian, architect, computer scientist so and so fort. Do you perform your own surgeries on your family members by delving into the books? If you are an expert in hadith, fikh etc thats another issue. Only taqlid in aqida is mardud, because the daruriyat ad deen part of aqidah is straightforward plain simple and comprehensible for every single human being and it is both Qat'i in its transmission as wel as its indicativeness (delala).

[@TheGEOPOLITICAN]

@@aliozer85 I am an expert in fiqh (I know anyone can say that on YT, but I have put enough hours in with Fiqh especially to say I am well versed on the subject) - in fact, I have vehementely studied usul al-fiqh - And on the other hand, regarding the Hadith sciences, no, I am not exactly an Hadith “expert” - but I surely know more than the average everyday practicing muslim- And while I have all major books of Hadith - I have yet to read them all cover to cover and over and over again - and like I said, nor I am very well-versed in the sciences of Hadith via the chain of narrations - So, I am no expert in Hadith literature - but the 4 imams were…. Which is why its more important for the average laymen like us to be constantly studying the fiqh of all 4 madhhabs and defintely the overall Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence But either way, I dont feel like someone needs to be an “expert” or as well-versed as I believe I am per se in usul al-fiqh to agree on a educated system rather than an abritrary one For instance, Maliki prayer times (just to give one example of many), are more strict and more efficent (in my own educated opinion) in terms of making sure a Muslim, especially someone new to the faith, to understand the importance of not only hitting your fard salah’s on time from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’, but also the significance of hitting them sooner than later with Maliki’s ‘daruri’ and ‘ikhtiyari’ principled system within the alloted times - at least in comparsion to Shafi’i prayer times and others (besides only Zuhr, whereby in that case I agree with Shafi’i fiqh and the others like Hanbali for example, on the fact that once Asr hits, unless theres a valid excuse, your zhur/dhuhr should be deemed at least ‘qalad’ at that point, notably because of the times shown by Jibril to the Prophet [saw] via the hadith literature itself) -- But at the same time, I pray like a Shafi’i in regard to folding the right over the left at chest level because the most authentic hadiths showed thats how the Prophet (saw) indeed prayed - sure there other sahih (sound) hadiths that show this to not always be the case, but the overwhelming majority of sahih hadiths show this to be true - So, yes, I think each madhhab is acceptable in the way they pray - but as adults, we should also “choose” what we think is best via our own research and studies, etc.. And I can go on and on with various examples like these - like for instance (one more for now), I also like Maliki’s use of using the ‘Amal of the Madinites as a heavy source (behind obviously the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah) in terms of his rulings and practices, because after all, not only is Medina the last place where the Prophet (saw) laid his head, but when Malik was growimg up in Medina, many of the wiser and elders in Medina were literally direct decendants of the Sahabah (hence, they were literally the Tabi’un of Medina) Get what im saying? like I said I can go on and on with various examples like this that in turn show why sticking with one madhhab blindly (especially if you grew up outside a muslim majority area) can sometimes be problematic to ones Islam and their overall Iman

[@aliozer85]

@@TheGEOPOLITICAN I get where you come from, however I don't see any problem to adhering to one madhab as I myself and all my familiy members follow one madhab. Following one madhab does not mean that you cannot do taqlid of other madhahib in certain issues when there is darurah. Moreover, to the layman, it is easier and more clear when they read a manual that is written according to one madhab, which has its own methodology and sets of rules. If you open the door to picking and choosing from each madhad, there is fear that hawa comes in to play, especially when people have not enough knowledge, this can lead to fatwah picking and following the easiest rules of each madhab.

[@m4fital2]

@@TheGEOPOLITICAN I get where you are coming from but I disagree a little. Specifically the term “authentic sunnah”. Let me explain and for the record I have been Maliki for 10 years but in the last month I’ve been thinking of switching to hanafi school. The salafi will call a hadith of SINGLE narration authentic sunnah as long as it’s in Bukhari or Muslim. The Maliki’s however take the practice of the people of Medina over a hadith of single narration. For example there is a sound hadith that says touching your private breaks wudu however the Maliki’s and Hanafi say no it doesn’t. The reason is A. The narrator of the hadith only met the prophet ONE time. B. None of the sahabah nor there students in Medina nor Kufa knew of this hadith nor the practice. Including Ibn Umar and Ibn Masood. I should said for the record the shafee has the opposite opinion and says no it does breaks your wudu. So I guess my question to you is do you consider this authentic sunnah and that Maliki and Abu Hanafi are clearly wrong. Or do you say no there is a difference of opinion. Obviously I’m just using this as an example because often the term authentic sunnah is thrown around and it dismisses valid differences of opinion. I look forward to your reply

[@user-rp7sr9xt5b]

Just pray how the prophet commanded us: to not pray like Maghrib salaah; do not sit in the second rakaat. Read Dua Qunoot on the third rakaat, it is sunnah and recommended to. Watch this for the full explanantion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIiudnWhoLSbpKc

@@user-rp7sr9xt5b I thought we’re not supposed to just read hadiths and try to directly work out how to do things like prayer from them, but rather we should follow a madhab in these things?

[@user-rp7sr9xt5b]

@@MotorStorm66 I don't know what you mean, it's an authentic hadith narrating how the prophet did something. Who says not to follow how the prophet prayed according to authentic hadith? And it's fine if you stick to your madhab, but the prophet's sunnah is obviously the best way to do everything.

Also you have to understand each madhab is based off of the sunnah and hadith one way or another.

If Sheikhs answered questions by just yes or no most listeners will be very narrow minded and that will deny us a lot of insight and ultimately mislead us cause within matters of sharia every fatwa has context before conclusion, with that being said the Sheikh gave a clear and concise answer which is in a nut shell you can pray behind an Imam of whatever madh-hab within Ahlu sunnah wal jama3a so long as they do not do anything against the Sharia. Salaam Aleikum.

[@stratspat707]

Did he actually gave an answer for this question? 🤔

[@stratspat707]

@@FULAN The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said : “Do not pray Witr with three rak’ahs like Maghrib.” Narrated by al-Haakim, 1/403; al-Bayhaqi, 3/31; al-Daaraqutni, p. 172. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Baari (4/301): Its isnaad fulfils the conditions of the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

[@stratspat707]

@@FULAN Indeed the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) left us as one ummah and I'm not saying that imam Abu Hanifa which was one of the greatest imam is wrong but the prophet muhammad (pbuh) forbade us to pray witr like maghrib. Refer to this short article : islamqa.info/en/answers/38230/ruling-on-praying-witr-in-the-same-way-as-maghrib

[@FULAN]

@@stratspat707 JazaakAllahu khairan for the link. I personally do not pray witr the hanafi way, but my comment is repeating what mufti muneer said in this video as well. What you might see as being clearly like maghrib, based on the fatwa of ibn uthaymeen (rh), is not actually clearly like maghrib once you sit down and examine it. Yes, there are 2 tashhahud and 1 salam, but there is also three additions in the third and final rak`at: (a) recitation of three verses, or the extent of three verses, (b) a takbir, and (c) a supplication (qunut). So to answer the question, "do hanafis pray witr like maghrib despite the clear hadith" - the answer is no, they do not pray witr like maghrib, although it is closer to maghrib than the other ways of performing it. EDIT: after speaking with some of the people of knowledge I decided to go with the scholars and not pray behind the imams which pray witr the hanafi way. I hope this makes sense. BaraakAllahu feek

[@Pain-jw3uu]

@@FULAN in the time of imam Abu Hanifa there wasn't every Hadith compiled like today. Probably the Hadith didn't reach him that time. But others got it. It doesn't mean he is wrong. But we should rather search and find the best and take it from all madhab. Now Following 1 madhab is fine. We should also not follow them blindly as the Imam themselves said, " If you find any of my fatwa against the quran and sunnah then throw my fatwa in the wall". So we should follow all of them as they were the best to live. And Allah knows the best.

@@boostbaa2882 In sahih Muslim volume 2 aisha ra Narrated that prophet muhammad ﷺ used to pray 13 rakah at night five of which were witr he he did not sit in any rakah except the last one. And the other way of witr is sitting, giving salam then standing up like they do in masjid al haram. I want a hadeeth in which prophet told to do takbeer before dua qunoot . And dua qunoot of hanafis is also different. They say that women and men have different prayers but prophet muhammad ﷺ said that pray as you see me pray. And there are many things which goes opposite to the authentic hadeeths like doing raful ya dain and so and so . Even if you say that doing raful ya dain was stopped then what will you say about many many other things brother. That's why I want people to seek knowledge themselves instead of following a particular school of thought. I want them to be a Muslim, not a hanafi shadi malaki hanbali ahle hadees sunni shia wahabi and whatever things there are. We are all one but most of us don't seek knowledge ourselves i guess.
