The Impossibility of People Agreeing on a Single School of Jurisprudence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We Muslims ask ourselves: Why do Muslims not agree on a single school of jurisprudence, and why are all the differences in some matters of the Islamic religion not resolved?
Answer:
This is one of the impossibilities—may Allah reward you. The Companions did not agree, so how could those who came after them agree? The Companions are the best of people, and they did not agree on a single matter. There must be scholarly disagreement, because knowledge varies; this person knows more than that one, and that one knows more than this one. And above every person of knowledge is One who is All-Knowing. Therefore, the agreement of people on a single matter is impossible.
