Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is an Egyptian resident in Dammam. He says: Honorable Shaykh, is there a difference between the four schools of jurisprudence? And if a man is on one school and his wife is on another, what is the ruling?
Answer:
The four schools are all, praise be to Allah, schools of the Sunnah. There may be disagreement on some issues. A person does not wander between the schools; if he is a layman, he must adhere to a specific school from the four and act according to it. However, if he is a scholar who knows how to determine the stronger position and knows the evidence, he takes what is established by the evidence from these four schools. Yes.
