The famous Hanafi Imam Ibn ‘Abidin’s son, ‘Allama ‘Ala al-Din ibn ‘Abidin al-Hanafi, says,

“With that, it should be known that all four schools are on truth and we strongly abide by the principle, “Our school is correct with the possibility of error, and those who disagree with us have erred with the possibility of being correct.”

The Bread of Fiqh   no comments

Imam Ibn ‘Abidin said,

Fiqh was planted by Ibn Mas’ud, watered by ‘Alqama, harvested by Ibrahim al-Nakha’i, trampled down by Hammad, grinded by Abu Hanifa, kneaded by Abu Yusuf and made into bread by Muhammad (al-Shaybani). Thus all the people are now eating from his bread.
