Based on the results, no particular school of thought became a reference and allowed student adherence to one of the qualified schools, according to Ahlu Sunnah. In the transformation of the role, the scholars (ulama) were used as the leading figure with an adopted school of thought. However, they did not force the will on their students to follow the adopted school of thought.
