Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on enforcing accountability in matters of scholarly disagreement? Is enforcing accountability obligatory or recommended? How? He says: What is the ruling on enforcing accountability in matters of scholarly disagreement? Is enforcing accountability obligatory or recommended?
Answer:
Enforcing accountability is enjoining good and forbidding evil. Do not look at the disagreement; look at what the practice is in the country, what the practice is in the country, and what the fatwa is in the country. Then you follow it and prevent its violation.
What is the matter? It is chaos. If there is disagreement and the country has adopted one opinion, or its scholars have issued a fatwa, its scholars have issued a fatwa with one opinion, then do not deviate from this. Take the opinion that is practiced in the country and the one for which a fatwa has been issued in the country. Yes.
And those who enter our countries are bound by a covenant that they will not contradict what the country follows. They will not contradict what the country follows in transactions, in appearances, and in matters of religion, all the more so. They are bound by a covenant not to contradict what the country follows regarding the command to observe hijab, the command to pray, and attending prayers in the mosques. This is the practice in these countries, praise be to Allah. Yes.
