{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa8","title":"Can I follow different madhabs for purification and prayer?","question":"Is it valid to follow a different madhab for a particular act of worship? I've heard that it is not blameworthy to follow a particular madhab for one act of worship and a different one for a completely separate act of worship. My concern in particular is in regards to wudu and salah. I've been finding it very difficult as of recently to perform purification that is connected to Shafi madhab and am considering learning and implementing rulings of wudu, tahara and salah through the Hanafi madhab. But for other acts, I do intend to stay with Shafi rulings. Is this okay?","answer":"It is entirely permissible to follow different schools of law, especially when faced with genuine difficulty. For instance, one can follow one school's rulings in wudu and another's in prayer. However, it's worth noting that some difficulties may arise due to misunderstandings or misapplications. If you specify the exact challenges you're facing, I'll do my best to provide assistance.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa3","tag":"Hanafi","count":11},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa6","tag":"Shafi","count":10}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:21.288Z"}
