Confused on Which Madhab to Follow
I'm confused on what madhab should I follow. As far as I know most of the books on Sahih Hadith was written after the 4 imams had died. Doesn't it mean that Abu Hanifa and other imams didn't get access to a lot of Sahih Hadith? What should I do?

Laymen obliged to follow trusted scholar in religious matters
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is that in some religious issues, there are differences of opinions and fatwas between different scholars.

Take as example Islamic banking, on which there is a difference.. More

Assalaamu alaykum, dear Shaykh. Is it true that Ibn Rajab wrote that it is forbidden to follow other than the four Mathhabs (main schools of Fiqh)? If so, is that a valid statement? Many scholars nowadays also cite and follow other Mathhabs; can such scholars be followed ?

Sunnah acts of prayer not followed by Hanafis
I heard a Hanafi scholar say that raising the hands, saying 'Aamin' out loud, placing the hands on the chest in prayer, and so on should not be done in a country in which the majority of the people are Hanafis, even if one feels that the above-mentioned actions are closer to the Sunnah. These practices can only be performed in a country like Saudi Arabia,.. More

Priority is given to imitating the four Imaams before contemporary scholars
Assalaamu alaykum. On your website, you have stated that a layman should follow the scholar that he thinks to be the most knowledgeable and trustworthy.
