Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the reason that some students of knowledge scrupulously avoid issuing fatwas on matters of divorce, and refer them to the senior scholars, despite knowing the ruling?
Answer:
I wish they would be scrupulous, I wish they would be scrupulous, but they are not. They are not scrupulous; they issue fatwas on divorce and on everything, and they do not hold themselves back from anything. If they refrain and refer it to the scholars of fatwa, they have been saved and kept themselves safe, and they have saved others from confusion and ignorance. Yes.
