Salaams

Which madhab out of the four do you, who have more indepth knowledge on this issue..feel is the easiest to follow,if theres any such thing.
I feel its Maliki but I don't have enough knowledge about them to say for sure.

And is it okay to choose a madhab based on that or for other reasons?

I think the Maliki is probably the most easiest because it is the most reasonable... The Maliki scholars aren't scared to go against the grain... There is more than 1 dominant position in the madhab... So it is more flexiable...

technically Salafi madhab is the easiest. you can define your fiqh, you can sef interpret Quran and hadeeth

Why do we have to have ta'assub already in this thread? A madhhab is easy for you if you choose to make it easy for you or if you truly believe in the conclusions reached by the madhhab. If you agree with Hanafi methodology but are a Maliki, you'll find it hard to be a Maliki. And vice versa.

I think the better question would be which madhab is most closest to the way of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Don't get me wrong, they all are very highly regarded imams but we must make sure that we understand that they are not prophets and so they will make mistakes. Some of the issues in shafi'i are more closer to the truth than the hanafi, and some are vice versa. We should take those which are the closest to the sunnah and not do strictly follow a single imam. May Allah allow us to be true followers of his ONLY chosen one for the end times, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

easiest ? hmm i guess hanafi on many aspects.

I am at shafii most of the times and hanafii sometimes (to make things easier) but the other two never tried them or read about them and i dont think im going to.

very nice statement.

Imho the madhab that should be followed is the one that is most accessible to you, the one people around you follow. That way there are more scholars available in your area to help you out. Wallahu A'alum.

This is a very naive approach that believes that we are following a single person. None of the madhahib rely on a single person. The madhahib are made up of thousands of scholars. We follow these bodies of scholarship. To say that we follow one person blindly is unjust and a lie. The only person we follow blindly is Rasoolullah
