Can we pick and mix in Islam
There is a view amongst traditional muslims that says you cannot pick and mix regarding your school of thought etc. Well my current belief is that I can pick and mix. And I believe there is nothing in Islam that negates this. The main thing is your intention. It shouldn't be to cheat. But based on what you think is acceptable and allowed. Eg if I see an opinion in one school of thought that sounds credible (evidence wise) and makes my life easy then I may adopt it. But I should also look at the evidences behind the other opinions and compare them. If I see all as valid then I can choose the one that is easiest for me. I don't see that i must stick to one school of thought on all issues. If you think one must then bring me your evidence plz. Hence I will adopt beliefs that convince me from one sect and leave beliefs that don't convince me in that same sect. I will use my mind to pick that which makes most sense out of all the sects. The result is I will be just Muslim...
