Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some youth trips, the youth are ordered to follow one of them. When the time for prayer comes, they disagree on issues of combining prayers, and each relies on one of the scholars' opinions. So does each one act according to the opinion he received, or according to the opinion of their leader whom they were ordered to follow?
Answer:
They act according to the stronger position. The stronger position is the one supported by evidence. They do not disagree. They do not disagree. And they follow the opinion of the most knowledgeable and most juristic among them. If there is one among them who is more juristic than the rest, they follow his opinion. They are not all equal. Some become more juristic than others. Yes. Otherwise, praise be to Allah, communication is easy today. They call one of the scholars on the mobile phone and ask him. It is as if he is present with them.
