Following the opinion of the majority when the evidence is equal

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If there is an issue with two opinions, one held by the majority and one by others, and all the evidence is valid, is it better to follow the opinion of the majority in this case?

Answer:
The matter is not about the majority or the minority; the matter is about the one who has the evidence. The one who has the evidence, his opinion is the correct one. It is the correct one even if he is alone and his opponents are many. The criterion is the evidence, and we are commanded to follow the evidence, even if only one person has it or no one has it, until we follow the evidence. What is obligatory for us is not to follow disagreement, but to follow the evidence. So we follow the one who has the evidence. Yes.
