:sl: I find that the best Madhab to follow is the one followed by the Imam of your Mosque. It prevents confusion.

...i suppose the best imam to follow is the one with the best memory.

if he only reacts to what is put infront of him.. then i suppose there is no madhab at all.

im just venting i suppose, its not what you know after all that gives character.

Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti(d. 911 AH) said:“The difference found in the four Schools of Islamic law (Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali) in this nation is a huge blessing and an enormous virtue. It has a subtle hidden wisdom the intelligent are able to grasp, but the ignorant are blind of. I have even heard some of them say:...... http://www.darultahqiq.com/do-i-need-to-follow-a-madhab/
 
I think the best madhab is "siraat al-mustakeem" the straight path. :)

instead of memory taqwa should be the criterion to trust the scholars

I honestly do not understand these "4 schools of thought". I know that a Muslim is supposed to ONLY take their religious and moral beliefs from the Quran and sunnah..Do these schools of thought make up their own laws/beliefs?

it's common of people not understanding the validity of 4 madhab.

Wa alaykum a'salam. Then how do people determine which one to follow? (I mean, those people who say we should only follow one)

you may follow one of them. All 4 madhab are haq

My parents claim to be Hanafi, but we have some rules which are against Hanafi, which lead me to believe we are in our own category as Gulenists.....Gulenist is a follower of the Gulen movement. For instance, eating shellfish is forbidden in the Hanafi madhab, while it is allowed among my family and Gulenist friends. We also don't believe in death penalty for apostasy, death penalty for blasphemy, forbidding music, that Christians and Jews go to hell regardless of their deeds, and that growing a beard is required........Goodness, I sound like a deviant....

whims shouldn't be followed otherwise this deen becomes a toy to play with

AsalaamualaykumThis simple honest answer is in a reality the very reason a madhab( any of the mainstream 4) actually became prominent. I would recommend that all read this answer with great astuteness.There is one more thing I would like to point out regarding following a madhab. It must be understood that the 4 mainstream madhab were derived from Quran and Sunnah by not only knowledgeable Jurists but also PIOUS JURISTS.When the people of todays time look at these 4 jurists, they commonly forget the piety factor that contributed to their works. Just to put this into perspective - I follow the hanafi school of thought however I'd like to share something amazing about Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal.When he passed away, people continued coming to make dua at the grave for aprox 1 week. The estimated number of that total in one week is 1.3 million !!!Today we (including our scholars) will be lucky even if our relatives pitch up at our funeral, or even remember to make dua for that matter.

Sorry I don´t understand what you mean.

If I follow some of them, I don´t notice which one it is. Actually, I don´t put much attention for this matter.

:sl:

I think I had best explain. I live in a very Rural area, we are 8 miles from the nearest town and that only has 134 people. Our nearest neighbor is over a mile away and we only have 2 neighbors between us and the town. My wife and myself are the only 2 Muslims within a 100 mile radius. The closest Masjid is 124 miles away. It would be almost ridiculous to not follow the same Madhab as the Imam.

I make salaah the hanafi way because that is how I was tuaght, but I follow no madhab as I never required it.

I find Islam is simple and natural. I don't require explanations because the questions I once had, are now answered through study and lecture.

It is pretty much the same with me, I was taught how to read the salah and other small details in the Hanafi way, and that is how I have always done them.

However, I've never found the need to specifically refer to the teachings of a particular madhab for anything to do with my understanding of Islam, the fundamental aspects of the deen are universal and not difficult to understand. And honestly when I am discussing anything with Muslims I can't tell who belongs to which madhab, it's never been much of an issue.
