Students’ Answers by Following the Scholars’ Fatwas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a teacher of the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) subject, and when I explain the chapter on wiping over leather socks, some of my students ask me about certain issues related to the chapter. I answer them with what the great scholars have ruled, because I follow them. Is this issuing a fatwa without knowledge?
Answer:
This is the least you can do. If you do not know, you convey the fatwa to them, saying, “The scholars have ruled this,” or “The scholars said this.” Your conscience is cleared by doing this. Yes.
