It could probably be asked, "Why Hanbali?" With all due respect to the Madhab, why would you want to choose the Madhab which has always historically been the smallest, and has yet whose scholars have probably led to the most strife within the Ummah in relative terms (I don't mean to slight the Madhab, but rather call to attention the fact that the recent interest in it must have a cause that didn't exist in the Modern day)?
