Fiqh vs Hadith: Understanding the statement, (If the hadith is sound, it is my madhhab.)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by SunniPath Answer Service Team

 Why all the emphasis on fiqh instead of taking directly from hadith? Imam Abu Hanifa said “When the Hadith is Sahih, it is my Madhab” and there are similar statements from the other imams as well.

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
