Preference Among Disputed Issues
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 17625 )
Q 2: We are a group of female students of Islamic knowledge living in the same neighborhood, and in light of the research (which is limited, to the best of my knowledge), I find myself stopping at many disputed issues. How can one make a preference or reconcile the issues in which there is disagreement? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
A 2: The student of knowledge looks at the evidence and applies to it what the principles of knowledge require, such as reconciliation or preference, etc., and acts on what he sees as the stronger position. As for one who does not have this ability, he must ask the trusted scholars of knowledge.
Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:43] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Allah the Exalted said:
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ
