Question:
Is it obligatory for a Muslim to follow one of the four schools of jurisprudence? And is it permissible for him to depart from them in a specific issue? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The layperson is required to follow one of the four schools of jurisprudence or another valid school of jurisprudence; he asks the scholar and takes his statement.[An-Nahl 16:43] And do not ask those who do not know. As for the one who is proficient, who has knowledge and seeks out the evidence, he seeks out the statement that the evidence indicates.
