Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man were to come to me and ask about a divorce issue and I know the answer, should I answer him? And if I were in doubt, should I answer him as well?
Answer:
Do not answer him; refer him to the court or the Department of Ifta, because this requires formal inquiry and documentation. Nowadays, they enter it into the computer so that if something happens in the future, they can review the computer records. So we must set things right. Yes.
