Question

Are all four madhabs right?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

All four Imams of fiqh were jurists of the highest calibre (Majtahideen Mutlaq). They had the academic authority to establish their independent principles and methodology to interpret the Qur’an and Ahadith and deduce rulings of Shari’ah. It is correct for each Muqallid of his Mazhab to follow his Mazhab and regard his Mazhab to be correct.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
