Deciding on a Madhhab as a New Convert

As someone who has recently embraced Islam, I'm exploring madhhabs to deepen my understanding and practice. I've been considering the Hanbali school, but the Hanafi one also seems interesting-it's tough to decide! If any fellow Muslims have gone through this or can share advice from personal experience, I'd really appreciate your guidance.

Honestly, just start practicing consistently. The differences often aren't huge for daily life. Focus on learning prayer and Qur'an first, the madhhab stuff can come later.

Good question. I chose based on my family's tradition (Hanafi). It's a solid framework. Both are valid, so you can't really go wrong.

Go with what helps you fulfill your obligations best. Allah looks at your sincerity, not which madhhab you pick. May He make it easy for you.

I was in the same boat! I went Hanafi because my local community and mosque follow it. My advice: see what the scholars near you teach. Makes learning easier.

Welcome to the deen! I'm Hanbali. The resources from scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah really helped me. Maybe check out some lectures or books from each school?

Take your time, don't rush it.
