Q 1:
Should scholars who reach a degree of Ijtihad (juristic effort to infer expert legal rulings) act according to their own Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim Scholar)?
Should all scholars who issue a Fatwa act in accordance with their Fatwa?
A:
Scholars should act in accordance with what is preponderant for them by the authentic evidence. On the other hand, a person should ask scholars whose knowledge and actions are entrusted and act in accordance with their Fatwa, for Allah (Exalted be He) says:
So ask the people of the Scripture, if you do not know.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
