Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that there is no forbidding of evil for one who does an act in which there is disagreement, such as praying at a prohibited time, for example?
Answer:
Disagreement is not a justification for doing something. The justification is the evidence. The justification is the evidence, not the existence of disagreement. So if you see disagreement, if you have a firm grasp of knowledge, take the opinion among the differing views that is supported by evidence. And if you do not have knowledge, ask the people of knowledge. Yes,[An-Nahl 16:43], yes.
