Question:
Salaams
I reverted to Islam almost 3 years ago and now I feel I need to follow a school of thought. I know that there is Hanafi,Safa and 2 others.
I went to a darga last night and found out about Tariquas. I looked up and found 4 other schools within the tariquas. The lady at the darga talked about the golden chain and the link to our Prophet (SAW). On the internet there are also a lot of questions about this.
I want to follow our Prophet (SAW), my question is I don’t know what or who to follow.
Can you help me, please. InshAllah
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The madhhab (School of thought in Islamic law) of Imam Abu Hanifah (RA) is the most widespread among the Muslims. One of the reasons for that is that the Ottoman caliphs followed this madhab and ruled the Muslim lands for more than six centuries.
