brother hugga12 do istkarah and mashwara. Don't ever do things on impulse. It is important not to rush into anything. See your compatibility with a shaykh. Let me give you my own example. I could never get bait to somebody like hazrat maulana yusuf motala db, hafiz patel db etc as it would be difficult for me to contact them very often. I like a shaykh that I can contact each week by phone or spend time with etc. However some people don't mind minimal contact. It is a matter of temperament. From amongst those in the UK who impressed me and are very accessible would be; qari ismail samni of Bolton, maulana fazle haq db of bolton...i have heard good things about hafiz yusuf of bolton, shaykh abdur raheem of oldham (old, pathan shaykh) and maulana ayub surti db of leicester. These mashaikh are very approachable and you would have a good 1 to 1 relationship with them inshallah. I was very impressed by mufti kamaludeen db but I don't think you would have a 1 to 1 kind of relationship with him.
