Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is every person who contradicts a consensus a disbeliever?
Answer:
It is not possible to contradict a consensus. The scholars do not contradict a consensus if it is established; they never contradict it, and such a thing does not exist. Yes.
