Sister Fatima: Jazakillahkhair for you comments. It does sound like it was quite beneficial. I think it is important that Muslims do understand each others Madhabs whatever they may or may not be. A lot of people don’t realise that sometimes there is more than one valid opinion for a certain thing and that all opinions should therefore be respected. Muslims should not be divided over these small issues of fiqh and should work together. InshaAllah I hope more of these conferences can encourage that

Brother Harun: Salaamu ‘alaikum.
I speak for myself when I say, learning the Fiqh of all four Madhhaib was a rich experience which made me less confused than I previously was.
It increased me in tolerance and understanding, as well as in respect for the four Imaams, and made me realise that there are some issues we just have to learn to disagree on, with good etiquette, and move forward from. In fact I realised that there are issues we can break our heads over until Yawm Al-Qiyaamah, but we will never really know who is right and who is wrong, and this realisation, rather than being confusing, was actually liberating.

Also, growing up in a community which is Hanafi, I was supposedly taught Hanafi fiqh – but at Ilm Summit, when Imaam Nasir taught us Hanafi fiqh, I learnt that perhaps I was never really taught Hanafi fiqh in the first place.

And finally since we learnt that it’s usually the case that whilst something may be Fardh in one Madhhab, it is considered to be Sunnah in the Madhhab – so I thought to myself, why not err on the side of caution? (i.e. I’m not going to be sinful for doing an extra Sunnah).

In sha Allah, maybe other attendees have more to add.

wassalaam
Fatima.
