The questioner:
To study Islamic jurisprudence without studying a specific school of jurisprudence?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for the beginner, who does not have extensive knowledge, to adopt one of the four schools of jurisprudence. It is better for them to follow, since they have not reached the rank of independent legal reasoning and become like the four Imams who perform absolute independent legal reasoning. In this case, following a scholar without knowing his evidence is necessary, but one should not follow except one who has evidence. If a piece of evidence is stronger for him, he takes his opinion.
