For example someone who mostly follows a certain Madhab, but in certain issues or times, he/she chooses another Madhab’s position because it easier for him or her.","answer":"This has been the traditional practice of Muslims since the early generations, until the recent trend influenced by the west of disregarding the schools of jurisprudence for the overly simplistic and devilishly deceptive notion of “following Quran & Sunnah.” May Allah guide us back to the righteous path of our predecessors.\nThe advise from scholars is to adhere to one school and when you face difficulty, seek a fFtwa from a qualified scholar. Sometimes the Fatwa will be a more lenient opinion from the same school and other times, it might be from a different school.\nفَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ\nAsk the people of knowledge if you do not know. [16:43]","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:25.971Z"}
