Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the disagreement among scholars in matters of the branches considered a mercy and a broadness?
Answer:
No, it is not a mercy or a broadness. Disagreement is not a good thing. However, the disagreement of those who exercise independent legal reasoning, where each follows a probability, meaning the verse or hadith is open to interpretation and each takes one of its possible meanings, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
