Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Abu Ali. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I listen to fatwas and convey some of them to others who have asked me about a specific issue. Are there conditions for conveying a fatwa?
Answer:
My brother, let the one in need ask the scholars directly, and do not convey the fatwa to him, because you may misunderstand it, or the fatwa itself may be incorrect from the mufti (scholar who issues fatwas). You are not obligated to convey fatwas to people. Let people ask for their own needs; they should ask the scholars directly, in writing, or by phone. Those are the ones who ask for themselves. Yes.
