Is it permissible to mention scholarly disagreement to a layperson when he asks?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, no. It is not permissible to mention scholarly disagreement to a layperson at all. Mentioning scholarly disagreement to a layperson is a mistake. For a layperson, you state what you see as the truth between you and Allah, whether it agrees with the view of the one you are dealing with or contradicts it.

The questioner : He said because... and it is not obligatory for him to dispose of his wealth.

The Shaykh : How? ... free, but if Allah has made it obligatory upon him?

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : If Allah has made it obligatory upon him?

The questioner : If Allah has made it obligatory upon him...

The Shaykh : Now, we say Allah has made it obligatory upon him.

The questioner : ...
