The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the best school of jurisprudence in the chapter of worship is the Maliki school, because it is the school of the people of Madinah?
The Shaykh:
The people of Madinah do not have a special status over other scholars; rather, this is the view of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him). However, the majority of scholars hold that the people of Madinah and others are equal in this regard.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The criterion is the evidence, whether it is from the people of Madinah or from others; the criterion is the evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. Yes.
