Considering the disagreement of the Zahiriyyah regarding scholarly consensus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I returned home for a moment. Is it considered an imam?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not considered scholarly consensus. The Zahiriyyah are a large group of scholars; if they disagree, it is considered scholarly consensus, but it is considered the opinion of the majority.
Another questioner:
Your Eminence’s opinion.
The Shaykh:
But if one of the Zahiriyyah, just one person, disagrees, that is not taken into account. Yes.
