Establishing a Fiqh Council to Prevent the Issuance of Individual Fatwas

Question:
He says: Why is there not a Shari'ah body or a Fiqh Council that prevents any fatwa from being issued by any scholar or student of knowledge until this Council reaches a consensus on it? This Council should include the best scholars of the Islamic Ummah so that we can avoid fatwas that bring harm to the Ummah?

Answer:
Many people do not want this. They want what matches their desires. They ask anyone who agrees with them on what they want, and if they ask someone who disagrees with them and does not fulfill their desire, they turn away from him. This is the nature of people, except for whom Allah has mercy, who seek the truth. But most people seek their desires. Therefore, they ask now. And praise be to Allah, there is a body of senior scholars in the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, as well as judicial bodies. So why do they not turn to these bodies? They go to so-and-so only because they are seeking from them what agrees with their desires. Yes.
