Warning Against Issuing Fatwas Without Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We need a word of guidance for the women who conduct private lessons in homes, for they issue fatwas frequently and with ease, and some of them have information but not knowledge or firmness in knowledge?
A person, whether male or female, must fear Allah in what he says about the Shari'ah of Allah. The mufti speaks about Allah, so it is obligatory for him to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in what he says, and not to issue a fatwa except on the basis of knowledge or a preponderant opinion after ijtihad.
