Q: When I learnt about Islam as far as I remember I was never told about which madhab or Islamic law I should follow, do I need to follow one or it doesn't matter, also how do decide when you have a basic understanding of Islam?
Q: Who are the Salafis And what is their aqeedah?
Q: I heard somewhere that all schools of thought are permissible to follow in Islam as long as you only follow one. For example, if I choose to follow Hanafi, I have to follow all of their rulings regardless of what the other schools of thought say. I just wanted to confirm if this is true.
Also, if Hanafis permit something that other schools of thought prohibit, would it be okay for me to ignore the others, or should I avoid it as a precaution?
Q: A person told me that what is the need for making taqleed? ...The Angels of death won't ask "are you Wahhabi? Are you Shia? Are you Sunni? etc." They will ask Mann Rabbuka, Ma Deenuka and Mann Nabbiyka? Mufti Saheb, is this correct?
Q: Which of the 4 imaams do we need to follow?
Q: I used to act on a fatwa from the hanbali site islamqa.info which states that you can recite loud in silent prayers such as asr, dhur, third rakah of maghrib and more and you should be careful to concentrate. I am a non native speaker of Arabic and I personally find praying loud in silent prayer is helpful to concentrate and reduce mistakes. Today I read a fatwa from a hanafi website and it states that reciting loud in silent prayers is invalid. I really want to follow the easier opinion of the hanbalis because I can't afford making mistakes in prayer. Some scholars also say that Subhaana rabbiy al-‘azeem and Subhaana rabbiy al-a’laa, and the tashahhud should all be silently. What's your thoughts?
Q: Please give us guidance on the following:
1. We hear that Salafi’s don’t follow any Mazhab. Does this mean they are on the wrong path?
2. Will it be permissible to perform Salaah behind a Salafi Imaam and will the Salaah be in order?
3. Are the Saudi Imaam’s Salafi’s?
4. Does being a Salafi affect your belief’s, Imaan, fasting, haj, etc.?
Your comments will be appreciated.
Q: I am a hanafi but I don't know I'm getting these kind of questions about mathabs for so many weeks now, like for example, why am I supposed to read salaah if I'm a hanafi when its 10+ days of haydh and I'm not supposed to if I'm a Shaafi or like why would I be a sinner if I didn't read salaah before Shaafi times end and and I'm not a sinner and I dont have to read qadha if im a Hanafi
1. I fail to understand why there are so many masaail that contradict each other so why do they?
2. Is qiyaas from sunnah?
Q:
1. Should we treat those who don't follow a mazhab as Muslims or non-Muslims?
2. If they are Muslims, can we perform the five daily salaah and janaazah salaah behind their Imaams?
3. Also can we eat at their homes and call them to our homes to eat?
Q: Can a person do taqleed in Islam?
