Must every religious issue be referred to the scholars?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is every religious issue among the matters of the scholars, or are there some matters that are merely narration, or is every Muslim on earth [to seek] clarification?
Answer:
It is obligatory, it is obligatory to refer to the scholars in every small and large matter of religion; it is obligatory to refer to the scholars. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:43] And the people of knowledge are the scholars. So the one who does not know asks the scholars and does not remain in his ignorance or in the speculations of people, or in the sayings of so-and-so; he refers to the people of knowledge, he refers to the people of insight, he asks them. Yes.

فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
