[quote]Dear Salman,

Please see my remarks on your six points.

[b]1) [/b] An established Madhab can & might err.

Yes it can,any new initiative to interpret the religion will certainly have more errs than the established Madhabs have.

[b]2) [/b] Two scholars can have a difference of opinion, two telescopes cannot.

Telescopes is mentioned here just to understand the importance of four Madhabs.You seems not trying to understand the point presented here rather trying to refute it.

[b]3) [/b] One should not follow one scholar necessarily.

If you are taking of scholar in the sense of Madhab than I would say one must follow either of the Madahb rather than following a scholar who is not following any Madahb.

[b]4) [/b] A refinement on any of the opinions of 4 Madhabs, as long as it seems closer to Quran & Sunnah is welcome.

If you saying this in context of a person who is following any of the Madhab if any such thing comes to his notice,he then should not decide his own rather see any scholar of that Madhab and discuss the matter with him.This question is do not arises for a person who is not following any Madhab.

[b]5) [/b] If, the stress is on the word 'if', research shows convincingly that the pillars of tradition have become dangerous for people following it then a rethinking is required.

So far no one ever able to show it.Majority of the people who oppose the Madhabs because the picture of religion they see through Madhabs looks them unconvincing because of their criteria to see things through their's own intellect rather than the main sources.There could be others whom might have not this problem but interpretation of main sources by the Madhabs,one may wish to follow a essay Islam and he may find things are very tough there, so on and so forth.

[b]6) [/b] A differing viewpoint is not necessarily a "scheme for destruction of Islam"

One can not doubt on any one intentions but what ever once intention is, there no doubt in my mind that any such effort will only contribute in the destruction of Islam.
