Question: If all four madhhabs (schools of Islamic jurisprudence) are valid, can a person pick and choose rulings from each madhhab?
Answer: If a lay Muslim does this, their worship (ibadah) is valid, even though their methodology is incorrect. However, no serious student of knowledge would do this. A student of knowledge follows a consistent methodology for deriving rulings from the Quran and Sunnah first.
