So, there you have it. What do we do with these different opinions? Well, for sure we can’t say one is correct and the others are wrong because each is an opinion coming from qualified mujtahids with evidence to back it up. What is required from us is to choose one and follow it. That’s how Muslims have done things since the time of the prophet ṣalla-l-lāhu ʿalaihi wa sallam. So, my to you and every Muslim is to choose one school when it comes to your salat and tahara, learn the basics according to that school and put it into practice. To take single rulings here and there on salat is confusing, chaotic, and simply impractical.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe60b76658b4c232875","tag":"Salah: Congregational","count":92},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65},{"_id":"696525c33e4fd26d8f9b3760","tag":"Salah: Recitation","count":13}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:04.316Z"}
