Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is a person considered an innovator in matters of independent legal reasoning, or are people excused in matters of independent legal reasoning?
Answer:
In matters of independent legal reasoning, which are the subject of independent legal reasoning, a person is not considered an innovator. Therefore, the four jurists and those before them differ in matters of Islamic jurisprudence, and the one who disagrees is not considered an innovator, because it is possible that each one is the one who is correct, as long as he has a possibility based on evidence; he may be the one who is right, so he is not considered an innovator in these matters of Islamic jurisprudence. As for matters of belief, if one disagrees with them, there is no doubt that he is an innovator and misguided. Yes.
