The answer

It is permissible to follow the opinions of trustworthy scholars, such as Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and those who agreed with him, as long as it is not for the purpose of seeking out dispensations, but rather out of trust in them and following their lead. This is because it is not obligatory to follow only the four madhhabs; rather, it is permissible to follow other reliable scholars whose opinions on a particular issue have been preserved.
