The ruling on making known an opinion that is not well-known among the people
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some students of knowledge make known an opinion that is not well-known regarding one of the rulings of the Shari'ah, and then they spread it among the people. Is this action correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. This is an error, and it brings about a great sin upon the one who does it, because he has taken upon himself the people who sought his fatwa and built upon his words. A person should not speak except with correct knowledge, and may Allah protect him from speaking in scholarly matters when he does not have the capability. Yes.
