Denying the wrong that is a matter of disagreement among scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If there is disagreement among scholars regarding a wrong, with some permitting it and others forbidding it, is it obligatory

Answer:
Do not look at the opinions, do not look at the opinions, look at the evidence. The one among the disputants who has the evidence is the one who is upon the truth, and the one who contradicts the evidence has no truth. Look at this. You have the scale, which is the Book and the Sunnah,
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messengerفَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ
[An-Nisa 4:59]
. We do not remain in disagreement and say, "As long as there is disagreement, let people follow their desires." No, there is disagreement, and the evidence is with one of the two groups, so you follow the evidence. Yes.
