Guidance for those who combine the two prayers after sleeping, relying on a fatwa

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A fatwa permitting the combining of prayers for traveling students has spread among many students of knowledge. These students have started sleeping through the prayer and the two prayers, then combining them based on such a fatwa. What is the guidance? May Allah grant you success.

Answer:
Religion is not taken from fatwas, my brothers. Fatwas err and hit the mark. Religion is taken from the evidence.
And from the words of the scholars that are based on sound evidence. This is a religion that is not neglected or played with because so-and-so issued a fatwa like this or that. These people are mistaken and are wasting their religion, and this fatwa will not benefit them with Allah the Exalted. Yes. And I advise the students of knowledge and the scholars—I advise them to fear Allah in their fatwas and not to open for people the doors through which such defects in religion occur. Do not open for people these doors and the sayings that are made and the disagreements. They should urge people to be cautious and to follow the evidence. This is the advice. And this is the correct path. So the one who issued the fatwa will not benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. You are responsible for your religion. And the one who issued the fatwa, if he was a mujtahid, he is excused. And if he was not a mujtahid, he is sinful. And upon him is your burden and the burden of whoever acted upon his fatwa. Yes.
