The Ruling on Seeking a Fatwa After a Ruling on Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a fatwa has been issued, is it permissible for him to seek another fatwa from those who say the three pronouncements count as one? If a person has issued a fatwa that the three pronouncements in a single phrase count as three?

Answer:
If the judge’s ruling is considered valid, there is no return to the wife. No, he is not a judge. If the bus driver rules, he does not seek a fatwa. It is disliked to seek a fatwa. As long as he rules with a ruling. No, it is not a ruling, it is a fatwa. He should seek the opinion of multiple scholars, just as the Companions sought the opinions of multiple scholars. So if he seeks the opinion of 'Umar, then seeks the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas, then seeks the opinion of others, he looks at what his heart finds peace with. It is necessary that his heart finds peace with it, weighing something against it, the hadith of Ibn 'Umar. Rather, he should choose the one he thinks is closest to good and most knowledgeable about this matter, seeking out the one who is more knowledgeable and closer to good. Yes.
