The ruling on one who refuses to ask scholars on the grounds that he knows the ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on one who refuses to ask scholars on the grounds that he knows and cites the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Nahl: 43] and says: It is not permissible for me to ask because I know this ruling? What is the ruling on that? And may Allah reward you with good.
This is correct. If he is truthful in his claim that he is knowledgeable, there is no need for him to ask the scholars. However, if he does not have knowledge, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will hold him accountable for his action.Meaning: If a person knows that eating camel meat invalidates his ablution,Do we say: should he go and ask the scholars? We do not say that.But if he says: No, camel meat does not invalidate the ablution, and I know that, and I am not one who asks the scholars. This is the danger: that a person claims for himself what he does not possess. But if he truly knows, there is no need to ask.
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَThis is correct. If he is truthful in his claim that he is knowledgeable, there is no need for him to ask the scholars. However, if he does not have knowledge, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will hold him accountable for his action.Meaning: If a person knows that eating camel meat invalidates his ablution,Do we say: should he go and ask the scholars?
