The questioner : All right, a man had two mujtahids (scholars qualified to derive rulings) issue rulings for him, and they disagreed.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, who should he follow? A man had two mujtahids (scholars qualified to derive rulings) issue rulings for him regarding the qiblah (the direction of prayer), and one said the qiblah is here, and the other said the qiblah is here, meaning they are opposite, so who should he follow? Come on. O Shaima, do you want something new? First day. Yes, all right, may Allah keep you safe, the one next to you.
The questioner : If the people of ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) have issued a ruling.
The Shaykh : And it is not a weakness of ijtihad (independent legal reasoning).
The questioner : He follows the one he trusts more.
The Shaykh : Meaning he follows the one he trusts more? He follows the one he trusts more, correct?
