Do you follow a Madhab?

I generally follow Shafi Madhab, this is being taught to me since childhood. However, I do not feel need to stick to one madhab. Whenever I find that any other opinion is stronger, I follow that also. The only reason I follow Shafi Madhab is that it is easy for me start with. Otherwise I have to start directly from no where. I am not expert enough to start directly from Quran and Sunnah.

My community are followers of Hanafi Madhab. I don't follow any. They are against the basic principles of Islam. And filthy fatwas like if two persons goes for stealing from a house. One is outside the house and other being inside and giving out the valuables thru window/orifice. Both of them NOT punishable. Weird, isn't na?!!

I look at all of them and pick which one has the most evidence for it.

I look at more than just Sunni Madhhabs though. Although I myself am closer to Sunni than anything else.

Madhab is The Same as Qur'an & Sunnah !

People Just choose to use different names for it !

Asker, I know You're trying to figure Who is Hanafi, Hanbli, Shafi and Maliki, All those school of thought were taken From Qur'an & Sunnah !

I know we follow Qur'an and Sahih Hadith. I don't follow Madhab and I think neither does my husband, otherwise he would have mentioned it to me.

The link shows that the Sunni Muslims are fundamentaly at odds with the deviant wahabi/salafi cult.

not really.........but if I ever need to know about something I just happen to refer to Hanafi fiqh ........it doesnt really matter to me actually I'll go with any as long as they have proof and a strong argument

Assalamu Alaikum

But I love to Read the Quran and follow the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) because that's what Allah SWT wants us to do. =)
