Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | Why is the fatwa only based on the Hanafi school? Isn't it more accurate to also base it on the Shafi'i school, especially since we live in a country that follows both schools together; due to the differences in fatwas on many issues: such as the number of takbirs for Eid, qunut, combining prayers, and others?

Question

Why is the fatwa only based on the Hanafi school? Isn't it more accurate to also base it on the Shafi'i school, especially since we live in a country that follows both schools together; due to the differences in fatwas on many issues: such as the number of takbirs for Eid, qunut, combining prayers, and others?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: We specialize in issuing fatwas according to the Hanafi school, and you can refer to whoever you wish for fatwas according to the Shafi'i school. These schools require specialization for the fatwa to be correct, and God knows best.
