Question:
A questioner from Morocco says: Some students of knowledge do not accept the statements of scholars on the grounds that they have not provided evidence. What is your guidance? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, if we say, "Take the scholars' words as a settled matter without evidence, without evidence," then ask the scholar for the evidence when he makes a statement or issues a fatwa. Ask him for the evidence for it. Yes.
