The answer

The disagreement among the Mujtahid Imams is a mercy from Allah, because Allah Almighty made the evidences probabilistic (dhanniyyah) to provide ease for those obligated (mukallafīn). There is no blame upon the people of knowledge for their disagreements, and it is not permissible for a Mujtahid to abandon his own ijtihad and imitate another.
