Which Maddhab do you follow?

[azc]

[MENTION=31950]Scimitar[/MENTION] :

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “ Islam began as a something strange and it will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers .”

what do you understand by ''stranger''..? And which era will it be applied to..?

I like ages long madhab following tradition though but I don't compel others to follow as it's personal matter of individuals. I see the problem when someone tries to quash the validity of madhab. However. Everyone is free to express his views in healthy way.

@Scimitar : Man. you are smart! Yes,It's my own opinion....... Neither Hz Isa a.s nor Hz Imam Mahdi ra will follow the books of fiqh and books of ahadith because these books were written after many years of prophetic era. Now think, how did Muslims of khairul quroon follow Islam..? Obviously they followed Quran and sunnah as they were taught by their elders this is why thousands of fatwas of elders without any dalil are found in old books of ahadith e.g. Musannaf anudurazzaq and musannaf ibn abi shaba etc written prior to Bukhari (which was completed in 233 hijri)... Nobody classified bukhari as the most authentic book after Quran but sh ibn salah in 650 hijri. We see so many differences in books of fiqh and books of ahadith. So both Hz isa a.s and Hz imam mahdi ra will have correct and thorough knowledge of kitab and sunnah. Moreover, it's no where mentioned that they will be taught by any teachers in any madarsa. Even It can't be imagined because superiors, especially in deen, don't take knowledge from inferiors. And which faqih or muhaddis can be greater than them..? I

What is the point of this thread? We've now established that the average Muslim doesn't need to affiliate with a madhab because that's a juristic method for arriving at the correct decision for a particular matter. When the average Muslim is sufferring an issue which requires study to understand in context of Islam, he or she can find what the scholars have already postulated - hence the need for asking "what madhab do you follow" becomes defunct - unless you are a student of knowledge.

Which, to my understanding, you are not.

And as already established, the madhabs are not sects or creeds - they are simply methods by which students of knowledge identify with best. That's all.

So why persist?

@Scimitar : what do you understand by ''stranger''..? And which era will it be applied to..?

Whether it is last week or the end time, it matters not to the question, "which madhab do you follow". The idea I was pushing at you is the following - If Islam will return to something strange, as per the way it started - then what of the madhabs? You agreed that they will be abolished as the need will no longer be extant anymore. That was my intention, to lead you to this point.

What I was curious to know was, whether this would be your own opinion - or the opinion of scholars, and if so - then they too will have to admit, one does not necessarily need a madhab with such an abrogation hanging over their juristic heads, so to speak. Mahdi, being the one who abrogates the madhabs. And Allah knows best.

Job done akhi.

I like ages long madhab following tradition though but I don't compel others to follow as it's personal matter of individuals. I see the problem when someone tries to quash the validity of madhab. However. Everyone is free to express his views in healthy way.

SO, are you doing a U-Turn on your Imam an Nawawi RA quote now too?
