It's not just different principles, it's common sense. If I had an 'Ilmi inquiry, I'd refer it to a learned and qualified individual, not a layman. You want to get blueprints for your new building? You talk to an architect, not a site worker. You want to diagnose clinical depression? You go to a psychiatrist, not a nurse. You want to register patents? You talk with a commercial lawyer, not a clerk. See? Common sense. We use it everyday in our lives. There is no individual difference in this regard.

Mashallah brother Streetwalker! Barakallahu fikum!
Seriously, this guy David has asked this question about the wuddu many many times already, despite the fact that many brothers and sisters like streewalker have responded to him.
I wonder if David knows what the word shame means?!
Selamu Aleikum!

i dont think you have to but if it would be more convenient for you then i dont believe you'd be condemned if you did so. (to change madhab)
madhabs and shariah are there to help us and act as a mercy for us, not to constrain and make our lives a miserable burden.
every difference of opinion has a reason depending on textual interpretation etc, and each madhab has their own method to deal with these. so yes, all 4 madhaibs are equally valid.


Can you follow more than one madhab at the same time knowing you're picking and choosing the opinion you desire between different matters (either what's harder or what's easier for yourself) from either madhabs? Nevertheless, you'll find in madhabs that the ulema try to encourage the action which has unanimous agreement from the other madhaaib such as doing wudhu after you touch your private parts whereas in the Hanafi madhab it doesn't necessarily break it.
Shah Walliullah (rh), on the topic of Sufi Tarirqas, mentioned something like "All Turuq are equal, depending that the Muslim in question has initiated for the pleasure of Allah (swt). "
I think this can be expanded to following a madhab.
At leastt untill we became shakh-ul-islam anyway. insha'Allah MAKE DUA (lol jk)


Hanafis don't claim RasulAllah never raised hands after ruku. It is permissible in hanafi fiqh to raise hands as well but better not to - because we claim he only did it on rare occasions and not as a regular practice.
Brother it seems you have a lot of confusion still regarding madhabs.

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
While reading Siha sittah (6 Hadith books) there r lot of references of doing raised hands after ruku. As i know (there could be more) at Tirmidi & Adu dawood is showing not to raise hand after or before ruku. But they also showing hadith of raising hand before & after ruku!. They didn’t mention raising hand before & after ruku is a rare case. How did u recognize it that this is rare case?
Salam
