Is it really a neccessity to follow taqleed?
I see the 4 madhabs as guides, if we are not within the rulings of any 4 imams, then we are surely in the wrong.
But If we do an action which atleast 1 or 2 imams agree [with sound evidence from Quraan+/-Sunnah]...Then how can it be wrong?
for example:
placement of hands in salaah....One may have it upon his chest, and another below the naval. Depending on which imam had the most authentic/reliable sources, you would follow the one which is right/more authentic regardless of which out of the 4[Madhabs] you follow....
I mean, if it was done by RasoolAllah [SAW], and it was acknowledged that it was done, then how can we put off an act of the prophet [saw]?
Also, I don't think the sahaabah [raa] picked and chose which action to follow...did they?
Well, that's the way I see it, and I am willing to give up this opinion if anyone can prove me wrong and
guide me to the straight path inshallah
Jazakallah khair
