Is the difference of opinion among mujtahids an inconvenience?
Share
No, on the contrary, those differences brought about mercy and ease for the ummah.
When people faced difficulty regarding an issue in a madhhab, they coped with that difficulty through an easier judgment of a different madhhab when there was real necessity. Thus, the existence of madhhabs enabled ease for the ummah.
Probably, that must be the meaning of the following hadith: “The difference of opinion in my ummah is mercy.”
