Following one's nafs

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2015-11-23 14:00

Q: Please can you advise if it is permissible for one to claim to be half Shaafi'ee and half Hanafi i.e. incorporate Shaafi'ee rulings that they have taken a liking to into their daily lives. Hence they declare themselves part Shaafi'ee and part Hanafi. If this is not permissible, please advise the harms and dangers this poses to ones Imaan.

A: This is perversion and corruption.

We have explained that this is perversion and corruption, and it amounts to following the nafs and this will cause a person to go astray.
