Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What are the conditions of ijtihad in fatwa? And does any person have the right to regulate
The Shaykh:
and to learn, you learn until you reach the level of ijtihad by possessing the academic qualification for it, yes.
The questioner:
He says, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible for a person to issue a fatwa for himself in matters?
The Shaykh:
If he knows, if he has reached knowledge of the rulings of the Shari'ah from their evidence, then he issues a fatwa for himself and for others.
