“From the time of the birth of the madhabs around the second century until now, an overwhelming majority of the Umma (Muslim nation) has been following them. In fact, for hundreds of years, there was not a single Scholar worth the name except that he belonged to one of the madhabs including Al-Shaykh Ibn Taymiyya and his most famous student Ibn Al-Qayyim who were both followers of the Hanbali school.” SalafiSalafismIslamic JurisprudenceIbn QayyimIbn TaymiyyahAnti MadhabAl AlbaniAntimazhabHanafi Book:Salafism: Just Another Madhab or Following the “Daleel”?

“The throwing away of the four schools of law is the equivalent of throwing away of a thousand years of learning. In fact, the state of the one who leaves the four Schools is perhaps far more dangerous, as it is accepted that a person of this age is not on the same level in capability as those early scholars and nor does the fear of God and piety exist today, as testi ed to by the hadith, that would safeguard him from deviation.” FiqhIslamic JurisprudenceAnti MazhabMazhabAnti Madhab Book:Understanding Taqlid: Following One of the Four Great Imams Source: Understanding Taqlid: Following One of the Four Great Imams
