just a thought.

Maybe if some asked these same scholars the question

'if a person ignorant in Islam is living in a country where they can study fiqh but not of that Madhab of which their family claims to follow

can they adopt the madhab of the scholars with which they are able to study as they are ignorant about the madhab which their family claims to follow?'

or a similar question then maybe they will give a different answer.


When I read these things on Deobandi websites I always assumed that these rulings were based upon the fact that people change

Madhabs because of their Nafs


Some scholars have changed their Madhabs in the past and they obviously didn't share this Fiqh opinion.


At the end of the day not all scholars hold the view that changing madhabs is impermissible under all circumstances

and if someone becomes truly convinced that another madhab than the one they are following is the more correct and closer to

the way of the Prophet (saws) than the one that they are currently living by then surely...

(even if the ijtehad of the madhab of the scholar who prevented them from changing will protect them from blame)

...wouldn't they risk feeling embarrassed in front of Allah on the Day of Judgement to have followed what they believed in their

hearts was second best.
