Question:
What is the obligation of a student of knowledge regarding disputed issues in Islamic jurisprudence?
Answer:
A beginner student of knowledge does not enter into disputed issues; he does not enter into disputed issues. He learns the knowledge according to one of the four schools of jurisprudence in the concise texts, memorizing and understanding them. Then, after that, if he has the ability, he looks into the disagreement and presents it to the evidence. He takes and issues a ruling on what is supported by the evidence, and he leaves what contradicts the evidence. But this is for one who has passed the stage of seeking knowledge and has a stock of knowledge. As for a beginner, he does not enter into the disagreement; rather, he learns according to one opinion in one of the four schools of jurisprudence.
