Fatwa #10372 October 2000Pakistan

If a Hanafi man marries a Shafi woman, which mathab should their child follow? Does it make a difference what school of thought the parents should emphasize?

Answer

The wife must follow the husbands school of thought. If he is a Hanafi, the

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best
