Dealing with the schools of jurisprudence when returning to one's country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the brother, Kamara Sulayman, in the Arabic language. He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah protect you, when we Africans come to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, may Allah protect and support it, to study in its Islamic colleges, we study Hanbali jurisprudence and master it. But when we return to our countries, we deal with other schools, such as the Maliki school, for example. What do you advise us? What is your advice for us in such a situation?
Answer:
O my brothers, the reliance is not on the Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki, or Shafi'i books. The reliance is not on the book; the reliance is on the evidence. Whatever is established by evidence is acted upon from any book of the four schools, and whatever has no evidence is not acted upon. If you know the evidence, you follow the evidence. If you do not know the evidence, you ask the people of knowledge about this statement. Yes.
