Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a mujtahid of a school of jurisprudence to adopt the opinion of another school if he considers the evidence alongside it and leaves the opinion of his imam?
Answer:
Yes, because the objective is to follow the evidence, whether in your school or in another of the four schools of jurisprudence. The objective is to follow the evidence. This is the position of the scholars of this land since the time of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him); they adopt what is stronger by evidence, even if it is not in their own school. Yes.
