Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am not from this country, so when I return to my country, some people come to me to seek a ruling on divorce. If I turn them away, they go to unqualified parties and return to some ignorant people. So, is it permissible for me to issue a ruling in this situation?
Answer:
I do not know your level of knowledge, nor do I know what authority I can grant you. This is between you and Allah, but generally, Muslim minorities in major countries have references; they have Islamic centers and references to which they turn. Yes.
