Issuing a fatwa based on the stronger position, contrary to the school of the country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the students, Shaykh, say: We come here and study the schools of jurisprudence, and it becomes clear that the truth lies in a school other than the one followed in our country. So when we return to our country, do we follow the school of our country and issue fatwas based on it, or do we issue fatwas based on the truth that we learned here and that the scholars have preferred?
Answer:
You must issue fatwas based on the truth, but with wisdom, good exhortation, and the best kind of argumentation. There should be no tribalism and no divisions. You must have wisdom, good exhortation, and the best kind of argumentation. Perhaps the one who is mistaken does not realize that he is mistaken, so explain it to him. Yes.
