The ruling on asking more than one scholar about a single issue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I ask two scholars the same question and the answers differ, which one should I act upon?
Answer:
First, do not ask more than one person. Choose one whom you trust in his knowledge and religion, and ask him; that is sufficient for you. Do not ask a second person and then become confused afterward. Second, if it happens that you asked two and they differed in their answers, then you look at which of them is more knowledgeable and more mindful of Allah, or more pure in his fatwa.
