	Madhhab
		The madhhabs are often referred to as 'schools' of Sharia.
		Madhhab may also be used to indicate ideology beyond Sharia, but this is a little used meaning of the term.
		The 4 madhhabs of Sunni Islam today are really just the survivors of a number of madhhabs defined in the early centuries of Islam.

	What is a Madhhab? Why is it necessary to follow one?
		The word madhhab is derived from an Arabic word meaning "to go" or "to take as a way", and refers to a mujtahid's choice in regard to a number of interpretive possibilities in deriving the rule of Allah from the primary texts of the Qur'an and hadith on a particular question.
		In a larger sense, a madhhab represents the entire school of thought of a particular mujtahid Imam, such as Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, or Ahmad--together with many first-rank scholars that came after each of these in their respective schools, who checked their evidences and refined and upgraded their work.
		The reason why madhhabs exist, the benefit of them, past, present, and future, is that they furnish thousands of sound, knowledge-based answers to Muslims questions on how to obey Allah.

	Understanding Madhabs: A Beginner's Guide & FAQ
		Each madhhab differs slightly in its methodology, and this causes them to have slightly different rulings in some cases, however the differences are usually on minor and secondary points.
		Many people, however, conceptualize madhhabs as just collections of rulings, mainly because people in search of an answer to a particular question of Islamic law such as whether something is halal (permissible) or haram (forbidden) will consult the rulings of the particular madhhab they follow.
		On the contrary, a madhhab is a collection of rulings based on the Qur'an and Sunnah, using the sophisticated methodologies for deducing these rulings that were developed by the Four Imams.

	Madh'hab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Madhhab or Mazhab (Arabic مذهب pl. مذاهب Madhaahib) is an Arabic term that refers to an Islamic school of thought or religious jurisprudence (fiqh).
		The prominent schools of Damascus (often named Awza'iyya), Kufa, Basra and Medina survived as the Maliki madhhab, while Iraqi schools were consolidated into the Hanafi madhhab.
		Generally, Sunni muslims insist on taqlid and follow a single madhhab.

	The Myth of a "Ja’fari" Madhhab
		Examining this "Madhhab" one unknowingly thinks, "This is very similar to the Maliki and Hanafi Madhhab." A brief look at the history of his hoax is needed in order to understand its inception.
		The Four Madhhabs of Islam (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hambali) were either founded by the Imams themselves or by their students who expounded upon the decisions of the Imams.
		From the facts presented, it is clear that the "Ja’fari Madhhab" is not only a non-existant (or legitimate) school of Islamic Law, but it is merely a cloak utilized by Shiites, with their ‘Ulama plagiarizing many of the works of Islamic Jurists and placing the name Ja’fari upon them.

		It is not permissible for the Musim to blindly follow the Shee'ah (Raafidhah) imaamah madhhab, nor the Zaydee (Zaidi) madhhab, nor any other such like madhhab from the people of innovation, such as the Khawaarij, the Mu'tazilah, the Jahmiyyah and others.
		As for belonging to one of the four well known madhhaahib, there is no objection to this, so long as he is not a blind follower of the madhhab to which he belongs and does not dispute (authentic) evidence on account of it.

	Epilogue
		The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the problem of division between the followers of the various Islamic schools whose difference, until that time, was conceived as an outstanding problem in the Muslim world.
		I thought that a favorable attitude on his part toward this Madhhab might be a uniting point between the two sides, since most of the Shi'ites belong to the Ja'fari school.
		We should not be concerned with a view expressed in some books which claims that the four Madhhabs are the only ones to follow or that it is not permissible for a person to change from one Madhhab to another.

		So, the one who follows a particular madhhab actually follows the Qur'an al-kareem and Sunnah according to the interpretation of a particular authentic jurist whom he believes to be the most trustworthy and the most knowledgeable in matters of Shariah.
		The consequence of the correctness of all the madhahib, is that one can elect to follow any one of them, but once he adopts a particular madhhab, he should not follow another madhhab in a particular matter in order to satisfy his personal choice based on his desire, not on the force of argument.
		Thus the policy of allegiance to a particular madhhab was a preventive measure adopted by the jurists to prevent anarchy in the matter of Shari’ah.

	The Myth of a “Ja’fari” Madhhab
		The above-mentioned are unaware of the fact that no such Madhhab exists, is not accepted by Muslims as a “fifth Madhhab,” and is a continuous attempt by Shiites[1] to gain acceptance from Muslims under the guise of a school of Islamic Law (Shari’ah).
		Some even have the cheeks to say that it is the “Madhhab of Ahlul-Bayt.” The Four Madhhabs of al-Islam (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hambali) were either founded by the Imams themselves or by their students who expounded upon the decisions of the Imams.
		From the facts presented, it is evident that the “Ja’fari Madhhab” is not only a non-existent (and illegitimate) school of Islamic Law, but it is merely a cloak utilized by Shiites, with their clergymen plagiarizing many of the works of Islamic Jurists and placing the name Ja’fari (or Imami) upon them.

		As the wahhabis first rejected madhhab then were forced by the 'ulama at a later stage to accept Ahmad ibn Hanbal, but they do not open the books of Ibn Hanbal - they put them up on the wall as a protection for them.

		The essentials of this madhhab are seven.” As it is seen, the book Iljam writes the seven essentials of the madhhab of the ‘Salaf.’ To say that they are the essentials of the “Salafiyya’ is to distort the writing of the book and to slander al-Imam al-Ghazali.
		Abu ‘l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi and other scholars in the Hanbali madhhab, too, by proclaiming that those Salafis were not the followers of Salaf as-salihin but were the owners of bidat, belonging to the group of Mujassima, prevented this fitna from spreading.

		The word madhhab we see quite clearly indicates 'this is the direction he took.' It is the line he took, it is the line of Malik - what we find is that these great men were defending this primal material.
		This is the first picture of madhhab which suggests therefore some unity of madhhabs with peripheral, tertiary differences.
		Do you see how wonderful it is that we are tolerant and we have all these different madhhabs and so it is all 'all fine'." And at the end of the day, you look round and there is no government using any of these madhhabs to make any legal decision about anything.
