As a matter of fact, the followers of these madhahib can follow the fiqh of their respective madhahib in: The performance of religious rites; Religious training and education; Carrying out personal activities; and Specific religious activities such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, last will and testament, etc.

In addition to this, in the region where the majority of the inhabitants belong to any of the aforementioned madhahib , the local regulations prescribed by local councils are compatible with that particular madhhab and the rights of followers of other madhahib are also observed.

In order to elaborate on this issue, we cite Article 12, Chapter 1 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran: The official religion of Iran is Islam while the official madhhab is Shi‘ah Ithna ‘Ashari (Twelver Shi‘ah), and this principle is unalterable and the other Islamic schools of thought such as Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali, and Zaydi are completely respected and the followers of these madhahib are free to follow their madhahib in such areas like religious rites, religious training and education, personal affairs like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and last will and testament, or in relevant legal cases.
