Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I performed Hajj last year, and I have memorized many of the fatwas of the reputable scholars in this land. Some pilgrims from outside the country ask me about certain issues, so I answer them from the fatwas of our scholars that I have memorized, but I do not remember the name of the scholar. Is my action correct?
Answer:
The fatwa? I fear you have misunderstood. Some people misunderstand. If you are certain of the fatwa and its author, and certain of your understanding of it, then there is nothing wrong with mentioning it to him, even if you do not name its author. The important thing is that you are certain of where the fatwa came from and certain of your understanding of it. Yes.
