Talfiq – Following Different Schools Of Fiqh On Different Matters
Salam, is it permissible to mix opinions of different scholars/madhabs for one act like prayer or wudhu etc? i just wanted to confirm if its valid for one act, especially if both madhabs or opinions would say its invalid like for example, bleeding doesn’t break wudhu in the shafi school so someone follows that and they also follow the hanafi opinion that touching the opposite gender doesnt break wudhu but now their wudhu is invalid in both madhabs, would their wudhu actually be invalid? This is just a general example but I just wanted to know if this is permissible or not.
Jazakallah

Issue like bleeding breaks wazu are quite petty. They distract us from the real purpose of Ibadah (Connecting with Lord) so we should follow میانہ روی ۔
Make thing as easy as they can be bcz Islam is here to make lives easy.

I understand, that was just an example, i just wanted to know if talfiq is permissible for one act like combining opinions of different scholars is permissible or not. Like if i follow hanafis that say touching opposite gender doesn’t break wudhu and the shafis that bleeding doesnt break wudhu would my wudhu be valid? Especially since this is now invalid in both schools. This was just a general example but I wanted to know if talfiq is permissible in one act

These shriya issue are dealt with common sense. Islam says to follow common sense . Someone asked prophet how to know what’s right and what’s wrong, Prophet (pbuh) replied: listen to your heart. (I’m paraphrasing narrated hadees here) .
All fiqahas are based on their imam’s common sense so you can choose what you feel is better in-between the. The best way is leave these Fiqah behind and follow ‘First Principle ‘ i.e. originality. Originality can be found in Quran and following one’s own heart and common sense. Ghamdi sb.’s stance on this specific wazu issue is something like this: No, touching opposite gender& bleeding doesn’t break wazu/wadu.
Plus, I’m no scholar, just a student like you. Thank you.

Thank you for your replies, so if i combine opinions for ease for an act which could make that act invalid in all schools, would that act actually be valid?

It is always the argument and not just opinion, which has to be followed to reach a conclusion. Following a particular authority holds no ground in Islam.
