Is Imam Ahmad’s personal opinion the same as his technical school of jurisprudence?

The student: ....

The Shaykh : You know that when the term “school of Imam Ahmad” is used, it refers to the technical school of jurisprudence, not the personal opinion. Sometimes Imam Ahmad’s personal opinion differs from the technical school. Therefore, it is not possible to attribute it to Imam Ahmad technically. Yes.
