Sunnah.org? Um... noooooo that's a Sufi-ish site.

Better to ask the Mufti at www.askimam.com

[Zaynul Abideen]

askimam has shuyokh that follow sufism/tasawwuf as well
Google mufti desai & tasawwuf/sufism.
Their islam must be iffy as well innit?

Try Sunniforum, but searching the term "Madhab" will give millions of results, you'll find that many topics are similar. Good info on their though.

This is what I found. I'm not sure if its 100% correct since there was no basing it on Qur'an and Sunnah, and the scholar it's coming from is not exactly known for being sound on the issues.

This is a very detailed matter as there are many books that have been
written about this topic. What is obligatory on a Muslim is that he knows the
correct meaning of: Ashhadu anna laa ilaaha illaa Allaah. Ashhadu anna
Muhammadan rasoolullaah. Hence, the meaning of the shahaadah of the Muslim,
that is ‘none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah’. And the meaning of
‘none has the right to be followed unconditionally but the Messenger of
Allaah’.
Thus, whoever calls to following one imaam to the exclusion of the others, and
obligates the ummah to follow that particular scholar - from amongst the four
Imaams or those before or after them - then this person is misguided, sinful,
and innovative. We are not Bakrees, 'Umarees, 'Uthmaanees, or 'Alawees. We
are Muslims who submit to the commands of Allaah Azza wa Jal. Hence we do
not worship except Allaah, and we do not follow except the Messenger of
Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). We ascribe ourselves to Islaam. So the call that it is obligatory to follow only one scholar is misguidance and
impermissible, and this is what took place amongst the latter generations of
those who adhere to a madh-hab.
The manner in which the early generations followed the four madhaahib has
now become an issue of hizbiyyah (blind partisanship). Thus, people became
divided here and there; everyone calling to his group.

We call to the text of the deen, and to follow the Kitaab and the Sunnah. We
respect all of our scholars, and we distance ourselves from those who detract
from their status or speak ill of them. And from the scholars that are most
deserving of this respect are the four imaams; Imaam Abu Haneefah, Imaam
Maalik, Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee, and Imaam Ahmad.
We ask Allaah's mercy for them all, we love them, and we acknowledge their
status. However we do not obligate all the Muslims to follow one of them. For
the truth is spread out amongst them and is spread out amongst those other
than them. What is important is that which the evidences from the Kitaab and
the Sunnah is in support of. All of them are either of two groups; those who
were correct, they will have two rewards, or those who were incorrect, they will
have one reward. And as for those whose opinions were in contradiction to the
evidences, then it was not their intention to contradict the commands of the
Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
The four Imaams are the ones who taught us to say what we previously said; as
it was said to Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee, "O Abu ‘Abdullaah, the Messenger of
Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said such and such, what do you say?" So
Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee became very angry and said, "Subhaanallaah! Do you see
me leaving a church! Do you see me wearing a belt (that the Christian religious
men wear)! You say to me: The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
said such and such, what do you say? I do not say except that which the
Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said." It is also authenticallyreported that he said, "If a hadeeth is saheeh, then that is my madh-hab." They
used to say, "It is impermissible for a person to adopt our opinions until he
knows from where we took our evidences."

Thus we say that what is obligatory on the Muslims is that they follow the
Qur'aan and the Sunnah, as men are guides to the truth; they could be correct,
they could be incorrect. That which is free from mistakes is the Book of Allaah
and the sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and no
one is infallible. However, mistakes - which everyone makes, do not detract
from the status of a scholar as he is excused. We love them, we respect them,
and we do not denounce them nor do we speak ill of them. Nor do we
exclusively follow one person except the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

However, the issues for which there exists no explicit text and it is based on
comprehension and the ability to derive rulings there from, then what is
obligatory on the Muslim is that he follows those whom he views as having the
qualifications, extensive knowledge, precision, prudence, and the fear of Allaah.
Hence, there is nothing wrong if a student of knowledge is inclined to the
opinion of a particular scholar if no explicit text regarding a particular issue
exists.
You do not do tayamum if u have water(except in cases when u r ill) similarly we do not turn to opnions of any madhab when we have proofs from hadeeth.

Besideswiping over the socks is from the sunnah.
This is indicated by the hadeeth of al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah (may Allaah have mercy on him) who wanted to take off the Prophet’s khuffayn in order to wash his feet. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: “Leave them, for I put them on pure,” so he wiped over them.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 206(book of abulution); Muslim, 274.
