Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If we hear a fatwa from a man who is not among the scholars, do we act on it even if we are not convinced by it? And if we do act on it, is the sin on us or on him?
Answer:
If you are not convinced, it is not permissible for you to act on the fatwa, even if it is from a scholar.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2389Sahih (Darussalam) So as long as you are not at ease with this fatwa and you find that your heart is not at ease, do not act on it. As for a fatwa from an ignorant person, it is not permissible to act on it under any circumstances, even if your heart is at ease with it, because this person is not among those qualified to issue fatwas. Allah the Exalted says: [An-Nahl 16:43] And this is not from the people of knowledge, so it is not permissible for you to act on a fatwa even if your heart is at ease with it.

Answer:
If you are not convinced, it is not permissible for you to act on the fatwa, even if it is from a scholar.
sin is what fluctuates in your chest, and you would hate that the people discovered it about you
