i live in south india,most of them are shafi3.but i give more priority to maliki madhab.. feels more comfort. most of the shaykhs who inspired me are maliki madhahab. second thing about unity... in my community salafis are also there t who ignores madhhabs.. should i fear of them? i have my himmath. next thing.. i wish to marry from outside of india especially egypt or morocco.surely they are malikis.insha allah!
