Is it the opinion that people should be compelled to follow a single view on issues of divorce?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people are calling in these days for compelling people to follow a single view on issues of divorce, whether regarding its occurrence or its non-occurrence. What is your opinion of this view and this demand? And what is the guidance in this matter?

Answer:
No one has the authority to do this. No one has the authority to compel people to this except the ruling judge. The judge has the right; if he rules based on a difference of opinion, his ruling resolves the difference. If he rules based on one of the opinions, his ruling resolves the difference. But for one to compel people to something that Allah does not compel them to, that is not permissible. Yes.
