Jazak Allah khair for your responses.
I just feel that, if we can judge based on our intellect, we should do this, but when we do need a good scholar to help us on our way to following our religion correctly, we should do that, too. For example, this summer when I went to Toronto I was unsure on how I should go about praying and salah and fasting, so I followed the Hanafi fiqh for this.

I just feel that I agree with different scholars on different subjects, so I don't like saying I follow one set maddhab.

To be honest sister, those are misplaced feelings because no one feels that they can just pick up a book on architecture then go and build a bridge or pick up a book on medical treatment then perform a heart transplant without thoroughly mastering all of its subjects and practices. If a person happens to feel that way and their feelings lead to actions then they'd probably be put in jail for practicing such complex subjects without qualifications and will most likely ruin the lives of others.

This deen is much more important than those worldly subjects because it's a connection between you and Allah, a means of your success in this life and the next, so don't gamble with that means of success.
