Must I follow one madhab (taqleed)?

“There are a few opinions in the Hanafi Mazhab regarding the least period in which salam can be done. However, the preferred opinion in the Hanafi Mazhab is that the least period in which salam can be done is one month and if the salam period is less than a month, the salam will not be valid.”

“In principle, according to the Hanafi Madhab it is not permissible to recite from the Quran or any other source in Salah. Furthermore, if the Imam does an action that invalidates the Salah according to the Madhab of the Hanafi Muqtadi, the Salah of the Hanafi Muqtadi will not be valid.”

“One’s Nikah with a Salafi will be valid as they are Muslims who believe in Tawheed and the Risaalat of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.”

“Firstly, choose a Madhhab. Find out which Madhhab is predominant in the area where you live and follow it, as this will make it easier for you to learn, practise and adhere to its rulings. Thereafter, direct your questions to qualified Muftis or a Darul Iftaa that follows the Madhhab you have chosen.”
