As a revert, I find the idea makes sense in theory but is harder in practice. If I follow the Hanafi Madhab for example, this is extremely broad obviously as there is still a great deal of difference of opinion within that school on many issues. So I would still have to often choose between two or more opinions to follow it seems even if I was following a Madhab.
Is the way around this to have one specific shaykh following a specific Madhab that you talk to and follow all their rulings on that Madhab? Or follow the majority opinions within your Madhab? I learned how to pray, fast, taharaah etc from one specific shaykh who I found to be very trustworthy and knowledgeable with lots of education from various Islamic institutions. So I trusted him but I’ve come to find out the way he taught me to pray and do purification would not be considered fully valid by any of the four schools, rather it’s a mix of valid opinions from all of them it seems. Can I still follow this way or do I have to switch to following one Madhab? Just wondering if anyone can point me further towards this. In my city for whatever reason there is never much talk about Madhabs in our Muslim community, almost nobody talks about following one Madhab over another so this is a new and somewhat surprising subject for me. Jazakhallah Khair for any input.
