Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is counted among the muftis? And what is the meaning of mufti, given that I understand a mufti to be one who may err or be correct?
Answer:
The mufti is the one who conveys the ruling of the Shari'ah from the Book and the Sunnah. Therefore, they say that a fatwa (a scholarly legal ruling) is conveying the ruling of the Shari'ah without compulsion, unlike judgment, which is conveying the ruling of the Shari'ah with compulsion.[An-Nisa 4:127] the Kalalah. And He gives you a fatwa regarding women. So Allah gives a fatwa, and the Messenger gives a fatwa, meaning that he conveys the ruling of the Shari'ah.
