Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking a fatwa from those who issue fatwas on satellite channels?

Answer:
This varies depending on the person. If the person is one of the scholars known for knowledge and trustworthiness, then one may take from them. But if he is not among the well-known ones, or if he is not proficient in knowledge but is merely among the cultured and thinkers, having no knowledge or discernment, or if he has knowledge but does not seek the truth, rather he seeks to deviate from it for the sake of people's desires, catering to people's wishes or not being cautious, then one should first be cautious of the ignorant pretender.
Second, one should be cautious of the one who follows his desires, the one who knows the truth but seeks out easy rulings and exits for people. One should be cautious of him. But if he is known for knowledge, piety, and sincere advice, then one may convey a fatwa from him. Yes.
