The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people mention that the school of Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) is better in matters of transactions than the school of the Hanbalis. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not correct. It is not correct, and it is not permissible. It is not permissible to prefer one of the four schools over the others. They are all schools of the people of the Sunnah, and they all contain good. There may be independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) in them that is subject to scrutiny, but in general, they are all schools of the people of the Sunnah and all schools of good, and none is preferred over the others.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, and the followers.
The Shaykh:
The tribalism of preferring one over the others is of the condemned tribalism. Yes.
