Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question he says: What is the consequence for the one who issues a ruling without knowledge?
Answer:
The one who issues a ruling without knowledge faces a severe warning, because he conveys from Allah what has not been revealed in the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger, so he is fabricating words about Allah, and he is attributing to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, that He has made such and such lawful or forbidden. It is obligatory for a person not to be hasty in these matters until he knows what he is saying, and he should ask the people of knowledge and verify the matter. Yes?
