Arslan. -- the example u gave is incorrect. Its not taqwa vs fatwa. According to hanafi madhab uve left wajibs so ur salah wud be wajib ul i'aadah.that's the fatwa not taqwa. You are required to pray properly with surah fatiha and min 3 ayats by FATWA not taqwa. [/quote]
I was talking about the
bare minimum. And the bare minimum you can do after which you can say you've done your salah is to do the Fardh acts. Leaving the waajibaat does not invalidate the salah, but will leave you sinful. So the fatwa is that if you do the fardh acts you will be regarded as having done your salah, albeit with sin.
But lets say I did the waajibaat also, but then consistently left the sunan and mustahab without an excuse. I would
still be sinful, but according to the fatwa my salah is still regarded as done. So my point in all this is: If I restrict myself to just following the fatwa, I won't necessarily be doing the
ideal. The ideal would be to go above and beyond the minimum, this is what I mean by taqwa. The fatwa does not
always give you the most taqwa-inclined ruling.
Rarely will a fatwa about fiqh of salah tell you about the importance of khusu'. It will generally only cover the actions and phrases. Khusu' does not affect the validity of salah, yet a person of taqwa will put a massive amount of importance on khusu' and khudu'. The fatwa didn't require that of him, but taqwa does.

So ur saying followers of taqwa vs fatwa never sin?
No, not at all....
And what do you mean by "followers"? Its not cult... In fact, its not even a principle that has to be followed by anyone, as mentioned by Maulana Muadh already.
[quote="streetfighter"]This is the reason there is something called 'tawbah' and 'istighfar'.
