brother, So you make generalization on what kind of difficulty that other brothers may face (of which may be staying some over 10,000 miles away)? Do you seriously think think that Mufti Ebrahim Desai would give an answer like what you just wrote? And do you think that Mufti Ebrahim Desai can solve anything through just emails? Do you really think that there's not even remotely that there might be some personal problems that's somehow specific to the questioner? Double standard to the questioner and to the answering person? Are you kidding me? Is there such a classification? If you reread my postings back, I am all against any blanket of generalization as nobody on this forum might not be familiar with the problems that the questioner might face (if any). Isn't it better if the questioner himself/herself take some time to discuss his/her matters with any qualified scholar rather than be bombarded by any accusation from a *fellow* Muslim that he/she just wanted to change his madzhab because of his/her nafs? Have you yourself ever asked the questioner if he/she might have some real problem before lumping him/her with that generalization? Can't you refrain yourself from making broad generalization?
