The reasons being , disagreements about salat , and what invalidates wudhu, not reciting fatiha behind an imam. If one was change mazhabs what are the rules to doing so , and most of all , is it permissible to change mazhab once , so that a person isn?t taking things he likes from one mazhab and discarding things he doesn?t like
Answer
It is compulsory to adhere to the rulings of one Madhab.
A revert to Islam should adopt one Madhab and adhere to all the rulings of that Madhab.
