Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Shaykh, some of us are given a du'a' (supplication) session. May Allah reward him with good. May Allah reward him with good. It is before the 'Isha' prayer in our neighborhood mosque. Most of the worshippers are common people, workers, elderly, and young. He addresses a jurisprudential issue in every topic and narrates the disagreements and the opinions of the Khalaf (the later generations) on it. What is your opinion of this? Is it permissible for him to bring up these conflicting opinions?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to bring up conflicting opinions to the general public; rather, that is for students of knowledge. As for the general public, it is sufficient for him to admonish them and remind them of the Qur'anic verses, the Prophetic hadiths, and beneficial sermons, and he should not address the disagreements.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
