Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My colleagues at work often ask me, so I convey to them the fatwas of reputable scholars, such as the fatwas of the Committee and the fatwas of Ibn Baz and others. Is it permissible for the questioner to act on this, or must he ask someone to issue a fatwa for him? If there are scholars available to him.
Answer:
Then do not turn to the fatwas; let them ask the scholars who are present. Either they call them or they meet with them. If they have them, meaning, if they are in a country where there are no scholars, there is no harm in conveying to them these established fatwas from the Shaykhs. Yes.
