Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I heard someone say that the scholar who responds to the one who disagrees and to the opinions is the one who is knowledgeable about the specific issue in which there is disagreement, and it is not required that he be knowledgeable about everything in the general sense. Is what he mentioned correct?
Answer:
Yes, a scholar may be knowledgeable about some issues and not others, so he is not encompassing all knowledge, yes.
