oh, i thought nur ul idah was a classical text? Arent the texts u mentioned all contemporary? If its ok id like to stick to classical texts as i cant be sure who is properly following the madhabs from thi day and age for the moment, so id like to learn from the classical scholars inshallah as anyone can claim anything in our times, most of the people who claim a madhab are further away from a madhab than the salafis are ironically. Like those who call themselves hanafi secularists. How can u be hanafi whos a secularist, since when have abu hanifah been a secularist
