Is shura (consultation) informative or binding?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Modern writers today ask under a title that has become almost a cliché: Is shura (consultation) informative or binding?
There are two opinions on this issue, but the correct one, in which we have no doubt, is that shura (consultation) is not binding; it is informative. It opens the way for the one who consults. The one who consults gathers opinions and collects them, then, like a bee, he selects the best of those opinions and orders their implementation. So shura (consultation) is informative, not binding.
