Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When a person asks me about an issue, and I know the fatwa of one of the trustworthy scholars on it, should I inform him of the fatwa, or should I say that I do not know?
Answer:
If there is no one among the scholars of knowledge to ask, or if you cannot ask anyone, and you know the fatwa and trust it, you convey it to him, because this is a need and a dire necessity.
