Question
According to the hanafi madhab are men allowed to marry without the permission of their parents or even without the permission of the womens parents?
This question is with regards to parents not allowing you to marry for no apparent reason or reasons such as timing isn’t right, get a better job etc.
Answer
You know the Madhab. Now be gentle with your parents, Don’t hurt their feelings no matter what happens. Keep their nek Duaas with you.
Allah said: “And if they force you to commit Shirk, Do not obey them However, provide company for them in the dunya in a reasonable way”.
So even if they were mushrik, one should deal with them kindly.
Salaam Shaykh,
I need your advise on my inclination towards Shafi’i school. I am a hanafi and i admire this school but the personality of Imam shafi’i in that his hikmah and authority in Tafseer and Hadith stands very high too.
Yet Imam shafi’i said all are children in fiqh of Abu Hanifa r.a. But the way Ahmed bin Hanbal r.a honored and loves ashafi’i, he preferred to sit in his lessons than visiting sufiyan bin uyana r.a
Imam Shafi’i had a very high hold in arabic, and he is a Quraish an Arab by descent from the Uncle of Prophet saws.
Is it possible to be a hanafi and still have inclination towards shafi’i fiqh. Did not shah waliyullah also said in indian subcontinent it is nicer to have affliation with haanfi school . Hanafi and shafi’i school and differences with respect to Muwatta of Imam Malik which was approved by 70 ulema of Madinah at that time.
The fact that most of the muhaditheen have been form shafi’i school, why is that and more fiqh books have been written in shafi’i school.
Here we have Awliyaa Allah in most number from the school of Abu Hanifa r.a
Both are Haqq schools but what is your opinion n this, have you or anyone else have had such feeling shaykh.
Waiting for your reply.
‘Ali Shah

Today you feel like becoming Shafi’ee tomorrow you will get some other feeling. This could end in you loosing that sense of taqleed altogether. So control your feelings.
Shah waliyyullah Rahmatullahi alayhi felt like leaving taqleed. He was instructed by rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, in a dream, not to do so. He wrote that in this day and age, the tadalli of Allah ( ie His special mercy) is with fiqh hanafi.
Sheikh Yunus Saheb said One should follow that madh’hab whose muftees they can find with ease. In the Indian subcontinent that is with the hanafi madh’hab so you should stick to it.
Alhamdulillah I have never felt like changing my madh’hab.
Wassalam
Jazakallah for your answer shaykh. May Allah reward you abundantly. Ameen
