Question:
We conclude with this question, which says: If the shaykh whose knowledge I trust is not available for me to ask about every issue I want to know, or that comes up for me, should I ask someone who is less trustworthy than him?
Answer:
No, as long as the scholar who is trustworthy and possesses knowledge is available, you ask him, either directly and orally, or by telephone or mobile phone, or by writing a paper and sending it to him as a message, or you instruct someone to ask him and bring you the answer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and may He bless you, and may He make Islam benefit through you.
