Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the phrase “there is no forbidding in matters of ijtihad” correct according to the Shari'ah?
Answer:
Ijtihad that has a possibility, meaning where each person cites a verse as evidence for a meaning the verse indicates, and the verse indicates multiple meanings, and each person takes one of those meanings, then he is not to be forbidden. But the one who has no evidence is to be forbidden; the one who has no evidence is to be forbidden. Yes.
