The School of Opinion Among the Schools of the People of the Sunnah in Jurisprudence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I read that there are three schools among the people of the Sunnah in jurisprudence: the school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), the school of hadith, and the school of opinion. He asks: Is this school of opinion a school that contradicts the evidence?
Answer:
Do you mean a school of opinion that is independent? No, it is not independent. Opinion does not equal the Book and the Sunnah, so it does not have a special school of its own.
