Assalamu alaikum,

Brother Sraightpath has provided no evidence from the Qur'an and sunnah either. He has claimed it to be the opinion the of some sahabas and tabieen and quoted from Mughni without reference.

So if we are to bring up the issue of accuracy according to Qur'an and sunnah then please bring proof from Qur'an and sunnah.

It is very sad to see that we are claiming that there can be only one truth derived from the Qur'an and sunnah. Whereas the same Qur'an and sunnah can be interpreted differently by different people coming to different conclusions. Alas, if it is not the interpretation which we adhere to it is not accurate or valid.

Why can't all the interpretations - i.e. of the hanafis, shafis, malikis and hanbalis - all be valid interpretations of the Qur'an and sunnah? Hanafis will say their one is more accurate but shafis will say their one is more accurate. Who is correct? No one knows - only Allah. If we say let's go back to Qur'an and sunnah - then all the madhabs have done just that and come to different conclusions.

If anyone wants to compare evidences, then they must read the books of the respective madhabs. Obviously the Hanbalis will present the evidences which shows their opinion to be stronger and the Hanafis will do the same. If one is truly seeking to see which one is stronger they must resort to the books of the respective madhabs for evidences. Merely referring to one book is clearly not enough.
