Assalamu alaykum

because saudi is a hanbali country. But there were imams from all madhabs before take over by present regime.

If I go to pakistan, wont the big state run mosques have a hanafi imaam? Do they take in turns to have a different imaam? Haram belongs to all muslims.


It doesnt matter who the imaams is akhi, your their to get close to Allah and be with your brothers in faith from around the world. as long as the imaam recites qur'an correctly and has taqwa of Allah then it doesnt matter akhi. Why didn't this message was not taken during regime change.


If people are saying that there never used to be four simultaneous jamaa'aats then we need to analyse the narrations and proofs for and against the claim and so far, what narrations have been brought forward? Khadimain haramain give the best arrangements and services to hajees. But there were incidents of gunfire and tanks entering the haram. There was fire tragedy in mina. It is unjust to quote these two incidents and ignore their other services.

Similarly, may be a for a short period some one took advantage of the differences among the madhabs; but it is unjust to quote these incidents (to drive people away from madhabs) and ignore the strong unity the madhabs had for 1400 years.
I find it strange that many on here have asked me not to judge sufis based on the laymen but then you criticise salafis based on their laymen akhi. There is a real lack of consistency by some brothers towards their treatment on salafis and I fear that some people have let their bias against salafis cloud their judgmement which has resulted in an unbalanced approach I am judging the salafees after viewing the tabarrah majalis of salafees stationed in saudia, hearing their audio cds and reading their tabarrah literatures. And I was a regular visitor to their forums and finally I have to leave since I was banned.

A request. Can we continue this discussion after Ramadhan.
