Here are few things that I have decided to follow. Correct me if I am wrong:
1. Truth is not confined to one madhab. Seek knowledge for cause of Allah and not the sake of insulting or winning debates. In Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1, it is mentioned that Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Actions are but judged according to intentions. Every man has what he intends. So whoever emigrates to gain something of this world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that to which he emigrated.'"
2. In case of doubt while reading any of the book, consult scholars. If you have no doubts while reading the book, then it only means you haven’t understood the fiqh to it’s deepth. In case of doubt, , consult more than one scholar so that you can avoid any human error.
