Committing oneself to following one Imaam

· 18 Jumada I 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We respect the four imams and we follow the teachings of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Quran. There are very mild differences in Namaz as said by the 4 imams with their proofs in hadith. Now I pray without rafadayn and my hands are not on my chest while standing. So does it mean that I'm praying the wrong way, because I see in Saudi Arabia they do rafadayn and have hands on chest. Please help me and make my salah better.

Answer

Commit yourself to the imaam that you have committed yourself to.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
