How the Khilafah state will deal with different Madhabs (Schools of Thought in Islam)?

The Muslims are united under the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and by the fact that the Qur’an and the Sunnah are sources of Shari’ah, none of the madhabs differed on this issue at all. Due to Ijtihad, they differed in the understanding of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and as a result of this difference various schools of thought emerged. Ultimately Muslims are commanded by the Divine rule and not by the Madhab. He/she takes the rule by means of Ijtihad if he can, otherwise he takes it by following a Madhab if he is unable to make Ijtihad. As long as all the Madhahib embraced the Islamic ‘Aqeedah, and believed in the Qur’an and Sunnah – as the sole source of Shari’ah – they would be considered Islamic. The Khilafah would not interfere with Madhabs as long as they do not deviate from fundamental Islamic principles.
