Note: The Muslim schools of thought are called madh'hab.

Supporting arguments

The schools of thought, or madh'hab, are put together by wise scholars who have carefully studied Islamic texts. Ordinary Muslims can not hope to know more about properly understanding Islam than them, and should therefore choose one to follow. [1]


Muslims should choose a school and continue to study it. It is permissible to change one's school or receive dispensation to follow the rulings of a different school in a particular area, however, Muslims should strive to avoid doing so, and should only venture outside their choice of madh'hab when absolutely necessary. [2]

Opposing arguments

Muslims should not be divided amongst different schools, and should instead be united together. [3]


The Koran and the authentic Hadith do not mandate that Muslims choose any school of thought. [4]


Muslims should not follow their madh'hab if they earnestly believe that the school is wrong. [5]
