Using the Two Opinions as Evidence in a Disputed Issue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, if there is a disagreement on an issue or an interpretation, is it permissible for the one arguing a case to cite the two opinions in two different places?
Answer:
O my brothers, Allah has not left us to rely on disagreement, opinions, and independent legal reasoning. Allah has referred us to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).[An-Nisa 4:59]. So we return the disagreement or the dispute to the Book and the Sunnah. If that is the case, we take what agrees with the evidence and leave what contradicts the evidence, and we agree on this. This is how our righteous predecessors were; they disagreed, but they returned to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and their disagreement and their dispute would end. Yes.
