The fact, brothers, it is not unknown for you that Allah The All Praised and The All High, has ordered in the clear Revelation for unity, co-operation, and not to conflict nor dispute between us, as this may do away with our strength and make some of us taste punishment from others. The All High said, ‘and do not dispute with each other that yon may fail and your strength departs, and be patient. Truly, Allah is with those who are patient.’ (Surat Al’anfaal 8/46) Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymivviah, may Allah’s Mercy be upon him, said, ‘Such difference that has occurred in this Ummah including its scholars, Shaykhs, Ameers, and elites, is what brought the overpowering of enemies upon it. This is due to their leaving action upon obedience of Allah and His messenger. Whenever people leave some of what Allah ordered them to do, enmity and hatred befall them. When people divide, then they become corrupt and perish, and when they gather, they are rectified and gain rule. For the gathering is mercy, and division is torment.’ l/( 3:419 – 421).Fiqh of Tolerance By Dr. Abdel Hakim El-Sadiq El-Faitouri The First Type; Differenct in branch matters and issues if Ijtihad The Second Type; Difference if fundamentals and Math’habs (ways) of belief The Third Type; Difference in war issues, political opinions and delebration This small paper is an attempt to highlight the right guidance in differing according to the theme and methodology of Ahlu Al-Sunnati wal Jamaa’ah.

The Fiqh Is not Based on any Madhad or School of thaught.
He was from the Zaydi school of law originally, and called for a return to the textual sources of the Quran and hadith. He viewed himself as a mujtahid, or authority to whom others in the Muslim community had to defer in details of religious law. Of his work issuing fatwas, ash-Shawkani stated ‘I acquired knowledge without a price and I wanted to give it thus. Part of the fatwa-issuing work of many noted scholars typically is devoted to the giving of ordinary opinions to private questioners. Ash-Shawkani refers both to his major fatwas, which were collected and preserved as a book, and to his “shorter” fatwas, which he said “could never be counted” and which were not recorded.
He is credited with developing a series of syllabi for attaining various ranks of scholarship and used a strict system of legal analysis based on Sunni thought. He insisted that a jurists who wanted to be a mujtahid fī’l-madhhab (a scholar who is qualified to exercise ijtihad within a school of Islamic law), was required to do ijtihad, which stemmed from his opposition to taqlid for a mujtahid.
Despite his Shiite background, he is regarded by many as a revivalist and has influenced contemporary Islamic movements in the Muslim world such as the Ahl-i Hadith and Salafi Movement . His legal decisions and discussions are frequently used in contemporary debate among Muslim scholars.
Allama Shawkani died in the year 1255 A.H.
