Sometimes a person is asked in a region where there are no scholars; is it permissible for him to issue a ruling based on what he knows?

He says: Sometimes there is a dispute among people, and a person comes to ask you for a ruling, but his intention is not to reach the knowledge of the Shari'ah so that he may act upon it, is it or not? Rather, his intention is to prevail, to overcome his opponent.
It appears to me that this is closer to being obligatory, that this is closer to being obligatory, so that the truth may spread, because if it remains in contention among people, the truth is not clarified.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Sometimes a person asks while he is in a region where there are no scholars, and if he wants to contact the scholars, it is difficult for them to be reached. Is it permissible for this student to issue a ruling based on what he knows, or what should he do?

The Shaykh : Yes, they may issue rulings to them based on what they know. It is obligatory for him For example, this student who has not reached a certain level in knowledge knows, for instance, from the words of a certain scholar who is a scholar, and he issues a ruling based on that.
