The answer

Imam Al-Nawawi is considered the Imam of the Shafi'i school, relied upon for preserving its texts. He is given precedence over Al-Rafi'i when there is a difference of opinion. Al-Nawawi's books are given precedence when there is a conflict, with Al-Tahqiq being prioritized, then Al-Majmu', then Al-Tanqih, then Al-Rawdah, then Al-Minhaj, then Sharh Muslim, and then Tas-heeh Al-Tanbeeh. When there is a conflict between his own books, the statements of later scholars such as Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami and Al-Ramli are consulted, and what they have preferred is chosen, or what has been verified by the authors of glosses such as Ibn Qasim, Umayra, Qalyubi, and Al-Shabramallisi, and before them, Zakariyya Al-Ansari, Al-Mahalli, and the author of Al-Mughni.
