When I questioned deeper, I was informed that that when we die we would not be questioned which madhab we belong to but on the 5 pillars of islam and our faith (and of course our deeds etc).
I should read up on them and find what the 'real' differences are but that would be another time. If anyone could give a summary, it would be of great help. In the meantime, I just carry on with the practice of the 4 pillars (until I get the chance to fulfill the 5th (Hajj) :D
