Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it obligatory for a Muslim to follow the school of jurisprudence of the country in which he resides, or does he learn the rulings of a school and follow it?
Answer:
If the people of the country are upon a sound school from the schools of the people of the Sunnah, then he should not deviate from them to a sound school from the schools of the people of the Sunnah, such as the Shafi'i, Hanafi, Hanbali, and Maliki schools. These are schools that are praiseworthy, Sunnah-based, and well-studied. So he does not go against them, nor does he deviate from them, nor does he cause confusion among them. Yes.
