Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If scholars differ on investing in one of the companies, with some saying it is not permissible and others issuing a ruling that it is permissible, what is the obligation regarding this investment?
Answer:
First, you look at these people who are differing: are they scholars or are they not scholars? Second, if it happens that they are scholars and they differ, you hold back. As long as they differ, there is a danger in this matter, so hold back from it and stay away from it. Yes.
