The ruling on one who asks a shaykh and then moves to another regarding the same issue

Question:
A continuation of his question: He says, “What is Your Excellency’s opinion on one who asks a shaykh about an issue and then moves to another shaykh to ask him about the same issue?”

Answer:
This is spitting out saliva. This is tasting the opinions. And perhaps he has a bad intention. He wants to see the shaykhs contradicting each other and go say, “So-and-so said this, and so-and-so said that.” And this is absolutely not permissible. So, first, if you do not want to ask, do not ask anyone. Ask one in whose knowledge and religion you have trust. And ask one who is relied upon for issuing fatwas, take his statement, and do not go to a second or third person. Take the statement of the one who issued the fatwa for you, provided he is from the people of knowledge and piety. The people of knowledge who are qualified. Knowledge and piety. Yes.
