Al-Albani and Zubair Ali Zai

Both individuals should be included as Zahiris.^[1][2] Moreover, other Ahl-i-Hadith members should be added.^[2] ParthikS8 (talk) 14:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to a Saudi researcher, Al-Albani followed the Hanafi madhab like his father at the beginning of his life, but later adopted the Zahiri madhab for a period of his life, and in the end, he embraced the al-Lamazhabiyyah [argued AGAINST following madhabs (the schools of fiqh)]. (Source)

In 2014, someone asked on Islamweb.net about if Al-Albani was a Zahiri or not? The answer was: NO, he was NOT a Zahiri. (Source)

Please do some more research about this point. Peace.--TheEagle107 (talk) 20:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
