What is the Muslim's position on the disagreement among scholars in fatwa?

Question : Yes, and peace be upon you. Yes, go ahead. Yes, he says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the Muslim's position on the disagreement among scholars in fatwa? And if a person takes the fatwa of a scholar, must he follow it?

Answer : The person's position regarding the disagreement among scholars in fatwa is that he should follow the one he sees as being closer to the truth, by being broader in knowledge, stronger in trustworthiness, and clearer in thought, because fatwa is not a trivial matter; fatwa is religion. So a person must look at whom he is taking his religion from, and he must not play with the opinions of scholars, then take what is more suitable for his desires. The scholars say that whoever follows the dispensations (rukhas) has committed open sinfulness (fisq), meaning he has become an open sinner (fasiq). And if a person consults a scholar he is satisfied with, he should not consult another, because he believes at the time of consultation that what this scholar rules is the Shari'ah of Allah. If that is the case, he does not turn away from what he believes to be the Shari'ah of Allah. Yes, if it is assumed that a person took the fatwa of a scholar, then he heard another scholar in a lesson speaking and preferring the opposite of what the first scholar ruled, and he mentions the evidence, and answers the first opinion by explaining that it is weak, then at that time the person may move to the second opinion. As for mere playing around, that is not permissible.
