Many knowledgeable Muslims think that there are huge differences between Saudi Salafis and Madhkhalis (a.k.a Ahl-e-Hadith). Generally such misunderstanding stems from apparent well behaviour of Saudi scholars, their call for unity and tolerance, accepting A'immah Mujtahideen as Salaf, condemning Ijtihaad of laymen etc. There are arguments and counter arguments on this matter and even plenty of Deobandi scholars are also ensnared by the idea that Ahl-e-Hadith cult is bad, Saudi Salafis are good. There is strong basis for such assumption. Saudi scholars visit Deoband, appreciate its scholarship, respect Deobandi 'Ulama etc, so why in the world they'll believe "rumours" about Saudis' conspiracy?
Under the cloak of "Hanbali Madhhab" and "Taqleed ghayr shaksi" they preach the identical version of Deen which Madhkhalis do. They fool us but we are blinded by their techniques. Anyway, this thread is started to observe fatwas of the leading Salafi site "islamqa", often quoted by many brothers of this forum. These fatwas will speak for themselves insha Allaah.

Introduction
Welcome to Islam Question & Answer! This site aims to provide intelligent, authoritative responses to anyone's question about Islam, whether it be from a Muslim or a non-Muslim, and to help solve general and personal social problems. Responses are composed by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid, a known Islamic lecturer and author. Questions about any topic are welcome, such as theology, worship, human and business relations, or social and personal issues.
All questions and answers on this site have been prepared, approved, revised, edited, amended or annotated by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid, the supervisor of this site.
With the spread of Islam world-wide walillah il-hamd and its diffusion into the internet, some sites have been published claiming to serve Muslims and to speak in the name of Islam. However, not all of these sites, which discuss issues relevant to Islam, present accurate and reliable information based on the true beliefs and practices of the Prophet (peace & blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions. Thus, there is a need to increase the number of sites providing resources based on these authentic teachings. It is hoped that this site will be among them. The objectives of Islam Q&A include:
- to teach and familiarize Muslims with various aspects of their religion
- to be a source for guiding people to Islam
- to respond to users questions and inquiries to the best of our resources and capabilities
- to assist in solving the social and personal problems of the Muslims in an Islamic context
It was decided to make the site all-encompassing, directed towards Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, Islamic fiqh and jurisprudence, Islamic history, Islamic social laws (including marriage, divorce, contracts, and inheritance), Islamic finance, basic tenets and aqeedah of the Islamic faith and tawheed, and Arabic grammar as it relates to the Quran and Islamic texts.
The responses are handled by Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid, using only authentic, scholarly sources based on the Quran and sunnah, and other reliable contemporary scholarly opinions. References are provided where appropriate in the responses. All requests are held with confidence, and replies are available personally and/or publicly (posted to this site).
A database organized by subject areas, containing common as well as previously asked questions, is available for exploring, either by browsing the entire contents or specific subject areas, or by searching for specific keywords. In an effort to maximize efficient use of everyone's time and effect the most rapid responses, please be sure to consult the database before submitting a question to make sure it has not already been asked before.

and the Madhhab. My country follows the teachings of Madhhab Imam Shafiee and therefore so too the people. There are instances where the teachings of the madhhab took precedent over the hadith and sunnah of the Nabi
etc. YET how is it possible for their daleel to differ from Quran and Sunnah? If their daleel doesn't match with Quran-Sunnah, then where did they derive rulings from? Did they innovate these?
