A woman says: She has been married for 27 years and has given birth to children, among whom is a daughter who fell ill two years after her birth with a disease called the Mediterranean Basin, where she always needed blood.

The questioner : This is a listener from Jordan. In fact, she sent a long message saying in her message that she is a woman married for twenty-seven years. She says that she has given birth to children, and among these children is a daughter who fell ill two years after her birth with a disease called the Mediterranean Basin, where she always needed blood. The doctors and those supervising her nursing care said, "Leave her to die from the disease." I was upset by the doctors' words and did not pay attention to this talk. I placed my trust in Allah, and He was with me and with her. I began to care for her and look after her until she completed her primary, middle, and secondary education, then college, with excellent grades, praise be to Allah for that. We performed a surgery on her that was crowned with success. She says that she and her husband do not have money, and they have children in university. I had a piece of land from my father, so I said and made a vow: if she is healed from the surgery, I will donate this land to the endowments or the Islamic Association so that they can build a congregational mosque on it. The surgery was successful by the grace of Allah, but my husband opposed this. He said, "We do not have money to buy land or a house, and the children need this land." I asked the scholars of Shari'ah in my country, and they said: "You must feed ten poor people, or clothe them, or bear the cost of some building materials for a new mosque." My second daughter has been afflicted with the same disease, and I am still paying a lot of money for her treatment. We ask the honorable Shaykh Muhammad to answer this, or should I take the fatwa of the scholars of my country, may Allah reward them?

The Shaykh : The answer to this is that it is not befitting for a person, if he consults a scholar he trusts, to ask others. The people of knowledge have stated that if a person consults someone who is committed to his words and to what he issues as a ruling, it is not permissible for him to ask others. Based on this, your consultation of the scholars in your country and their issuing a ruling to you as mentioned in the question allows you to restrict yourself to that and not ask anyone else about it afterwards. This is because a person is not obligated to ask every scholar among the Muslim scholars, but he must ask someone he trusts. And if he asks someone he trusts, let him restrict himself to what they ruled for him and not ask anyone else.
Yes, if it were assumed that a person encountered a problem or a problem arose for him, and he had no one but a scholar, and he consulted him out of necessity, while in his heart he says, "If I am able to find a more trustworthy scholar, I will ask him," then there is no harm in asking about this matter in which the difficulty occurred, even if he had already asked the scholar in his country about it.
And the summary of the answer is that I say: as long as you have asked the scholars who are with you, in them is sufficiency, if Allah wills.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
