Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who adheres to a specific school of jurisprudence and does not deviate from it except rarely, if he deviates at all? He says that this is more precise for his acts of worship and that he is not qualified to examine the evidence.
Answer:
The layperson, yes, the layperson follows one of the four schools of jurisprudence. He follows one of the four schools of jurisprudence, or he follows the one who issues fatwas for him, because the layperson's school of jurisprudence is the school of the one who issues fatwas for him. So if he chooses someone he trusts in his religion and his knowledge and asks him, he takes his statement, because he is a layperson who does not know, so he follows and imitates the one who issued the fatwa for him. As for the person who has insight and has knowledge, it is not permissible for him except to take what is supported by the evidence, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
