I have some question based on the following hadith from Sahih Muslim : > One who withdraws his band from obedience (to the Amir) will find no > argument (in his defence) when he stands before Allah on the Day of > Judgment, and one who dies without having bound himself by an oath of > allegiance (to an Amir) will die the death of one belonging to the > days of Jahillyya. Based on this: 1. Is it obligatory for every muslim to follow an Imam ? 2. How to know who to consider as imam ? 3. Does the four mujtahid (Imam Abu Hanifa RA, Imam Malik RA, Imam Shafii RA and Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal) says anything about the above questions ?
