Question:
The questioner says: There are some, or among the scholars, there are some scholars who condition obedience to one who has made the forbidden permissible or the permissible forbidden on the belief that it is permissible for him to do so, in order to consider him an associate of partners with Allah.
Answer:
This is empty talk, talk of no benefit. If you know that he is mistaken, do not follow him, even if he is among the best of people. If you know that it is an error, leave the error, even if whoever said it said it.
