Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If an explicit text contradicts a consensus, what is the ruling?

Answer:
It is not possible for a text to contradict a consensus. The community does not agree upon misguidance, and contradicting the text is misguidance. Is it not possible that there is a consensus that contradicts the text?
