The Cause of Disagreement Among Jurists

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the cause of disagreement among the jurists, given that the verse says:
This day I have perfected for you your religionالْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
.

Answer:
The cause of disagreement among the jurists is looking at the evidence, or at a single piece of evidence that has multiple possibilities. This is part of understanding the religion. He said:
(ﷺ) said: “When Allah wishes good for anyone, He bestows upon him the Fiqh (comprehension) of the religion.”صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ يُرِدِ اَللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي اَلدِّينِ
Bulugh al-Maram 16:86
So seeking the meaning of a hadith or a verse and what it indicates is something one is commanded to do. As for disagreement that contradicts the evidence, it is nullified and has no value. There is no value in what contradicts the evidence. Not every disagreement that arises is considered valid, except for a disagreement that has a share of scholarly consideration. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
