Multiple Rulings in Matters of Creed and Jurisprudence and the Muslim's Position Toward Them

Question:
The questioner says: How does a Muslim describe himself? Therefore, there is no differing written opinion on a single issue, whether in fiqh, aqeedah, or morals.

Answer:
In aqeedah, fatwas cannot vary. Aqeedah is based on what is established from the texts. It is not up to us to do anything but follow what has been established as authentic, what our righteous predecessors believed, and on which there is no disagreement. The one who opposes this is misguided. The one who opposes the aqeedah is misguided. The one who opposes the aqeedah of the Salaf is what we call misguided. As for fiqh, there is disagreement, yes. But the position of the Muslim, if he is a scholar, is that he takes what is supported by evidence, what is stronger by evidence. And if he is ignorant, he asks the people of knowledge and takes what they issue as a ruling.
