    To my knowledge diff country defers in teachings. Eg. Imam shafiee is the most strict of all teachings. Yes We do need to follow one imam and all his topics and use it the best way we can. BUT we don need to follow it once we are in different country using different system eg in imam shafiee teachings (West Asia) we must not touch any women skin or your abulution(forget the spelling) is forfeated. But a person following Imam Shafiee teachings can't apply that in Mecca. We can't use that cause everybody MAN and women is too close to one another. So Imam Shafiee's teachings can't be applied and that man must use that country way of system and imam. This included too in prayers or fasting. As for fasting eg when a person start his 1st day in west asia and he travel to middle east. He have to follow that country end of ramadhan not on his own country due to earth rotation the day may defers on both country. Do remember all imam teachings is for good of people in that area and country and always refers to that ONE book the Holy Quran and you'll never be out of path. I'm not that good and this might be wrong so i guess you study this with a teacher and he will guide you.

    Walaikum salam my brother.

    wa alikum salam.

    actually i dont know whether we DO HAVE to follow a certain Imam or not. but i too follow abi hanifa. <<<<Sunnah.

    as for Imams compared to the companions, i think the companions are a degree above Imams.

    assalamu Alikum.

    Well actually, he's right. All school's of thoughts are correct, but if you follow one, you have to stick to that one. The reason: You have to walk along one path. If you go a bit on one path and a bit on the other, how will you get to your destination?
