Likewise, they disagreed over many questions of inheritance, such as those concerning the grandfather and the “shared-inheritance” case; over many questions of divorce, oaths of abstention from marital relations, and other matters; and over many questions of worship relating to prayer, fasting, and Hajj. They also disagreed over visiting graves: some disapproved of it without qualification, some permitted it, and some recommended it when conducted in the prescribed manner. This last view is held by most of them.

They disagreed over “greeting the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him”: should one greet him in the mosque while facing the direction of prayer, or while facing the chamber? After offering the greeting, should one remain standing and supplicate for him, or not?

They also disagreed over which of the two mosques is superior: the Sacred Mosque or the Mosque of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. They agreed that both are superior to al-Aqsā Mosque. They also agreed that travelling to a place to worship there is not recommended except in the case of the three mosques. They agreed that anyone who vows to perform Hajj or ‘umrah must fulfil that vow. The four imams and the majority of scholars agreed that anyone who vows to travel somewhere other than the three mosques is not obliged to fulfil that vow. They disagreed, however, over the case of someone who vows to travel to the two mosques, as well as other matters too lengthy to enumerate.

They also disagreed over certain interpretations of the verses and over certain hadiths: were they established as having come from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or not?
