Alhamdulillah one of the things I like about Brother Nouman as Brother Starting Anew stated is his humility. By that I mean he doesn't consider himself a person qualified to give out Fiqh advice and rulings. There have been occasions where someone has asked him a Fiqh question, sometimes even a really simple basic Fiqh question and rather than answer Brother Nouman always advises that they go ask their local Imaam for the answer. Very rarely and only in the most basic thing will he give an answer and even then he will immediately follow saying he isnt a jurist and that they would be better asking their Imaam.

For that reason, what Madhab he follows isn't really clear as his lectures are more on Arabic, Quraan and Character.

Yes, he gets very annoyed if he gets called a Shaykh! And he also repeatedly says 'I'm not a scholar'. In his tafsir podcasts he basically gives the opinions of the great scholars of the past and present. I think he used to do about 20 hours of study per 1 hour lecture he gave (which he did every week) of all the scholarly material on each surah. For 'Al-Asr' that would mean for the 5 sessions he must have studied about 100 hours (for the lectures specifically). And he never really gave his own opinion though as a very good Arabic linguist and grammarian, he would explain structures of the language embedded within, though again, i'm pretty sure he would cite references for those also.
