The Shaykh : Is it permissible for a student to disregard evidence when it is presented to him, in favor of the opinion of so-and-so or so-and-so among the scholars, because he trusts this scholar more than the one who asked the question, knowing that he knows this evidence is authentic?
If the layperson does not trust the one who cited the evidence, there is no blame on him if he says: I do not follow you. Then he must ask about the evidence from someone more knowledgeable than the one who cited it, because many people are ignorant and think that a hadith indicates such-and-such, when that is not the case.
