Question

Pls give me detailed information regarding 4 Imams and the need to follow any one of them as people around me raise so many questions?

Answer

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

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

1. The legal status of following a Mazhab by Hadhrat Moulana Mufti Muhammed Taqi Usmani (Damat Barakatuhum)
