thanks ... so you are at Hanbali Mad'hab !?
but actually , all those Mad'habs have signification difference between each other .... for example , Hanafi believe in using rational ( حسن و قبح عقل ) in their Fatwa but Hanbali only believe in Hadith and Sunnah and Quran and don't using rational/wisdom ( حسن و قبح عقلی ) in their fatwa .....
forgive me , but saying they have tiny difference is just like saying Alavi and Twelver shia only have some little difference ( and it is ridiculous !!! )
well , lets finish this here ..... actually , I can understand your view much better .... ( and I should say understanding is not mean that I accept it )
All Sunni branches take Quraan and Sunnah as their only references, and they all have the very same bases (usul) and differences in interpretation of branches (foro) and they are all correct. Unlike Sunnah and Shia which have deep differences in the bases (usul). I hope you get it now.
Again...
Differences in the Schools
[/SIZE][/COLOR]Interpreting Islamic law by deriving specific rulings - such as how to pray - is known as fiqh, commonly termed jurisprudence. A madh'hab is a particular tradition of interpreting this jurisprudence. These schools possess different focuses, such as specific evidence (Shafi'i and Hanbali) or general principles (Hanafi and Maliki) derived from specific evidences. As these schools represent clearly spelled out methodologies for interpreting Islamic law, there has been little change in the methodology with regard to each school. All four madh'habs are recognised viable legal schools and are not seen as in error in contrast to one another, each school has their evidences and differences are respected as being Ikhtilaf; this is because all the schools are united upon the usul (base) issues but generally differ on furu' (branches).
As the social and economic environment changes, new rulings are derived - this is known as Ijtihad - this can be from a Mujtahid who specialises in one or more Madh'habs. For example, when tobacco appeared, it was considered disliked because of its smell. When medical information showed that smoking was dangerous, most jurists took the view that it is forbidden. Current issues include social topics such as downloading pirated software and scientific issues such as cloning.
