The Opinion on Ibn Rajab’s Book Refuting Those Who Follow Other Than the Four Schools of Jurisprudence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah guide you, Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on the revival of the jurisprudential schools? Other than the four schools.
The Shaykh:
With you.
The questioner:
So what is your opinion on the book of al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab, *Refuting Those Who Follow Other Than the Four Schools*?
The Shaykh:
I have not seen the book of al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab, but we accept the truth from the four schools and others. Whatever is true and in accordance with the evidence, we follow it from the four schools and others. Perhaps Imam al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) is a great imam, and it is not easy; perhaps he intends people who reject the four schools entirely, as mentioned in the previous question, who reject them and claim for themselves independent legal reasoning and self-sufficiency without them. This is certainly an error.
