Statement: The matter is broad when scholars disagree

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people, when they hear that scholars disagree on a particular issue, say, "The matter is broad."

Answer:
No, it is not broad. Disagreement is not evidence. If there is disagreement, the opinion supported by evidence must be adopted from among the opinions.
