Question:
Is it permissible for me to issue fatwas to people based on the fatwas I hear through the program Nur 'ala al-Darb?
Answer:
Yes, you may issue fatwas to people based on what you have heard, provided you have a firm grasp of it. You say: "According to so-and-so," attributing it to its source. It is not from you; you say: "I heard it in a program, from the words of so-and-so, that the ruling is such-and-such." This falls under the category of conveying knowledge. If you have a firm grasp of what you heard, that is fine. But if you are in doubt, then no. However, if you have grasped the words and memorized them well, you may convey them to others, saying: "I heard so-and-so in Nur 'ala al-Darb, from me, or from someone like Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, Shaykh Abdullah ibn Ghadyan, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, or Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan." You may convey from Shaykh Salih ibn Ghusun, but do not attribute it to yourself. Convey from them exactly as you heard it, word for word, without adding, subtracting, or changing anything. You will be thanked and rewarded.
As for conveying it without attributing it to the source, that is not allowed, because they may not trust you, and you might add or subtract. But convey it from the scholar himself whose words you heard, conveying them with their exact wording; perhaps Allah will make it beneficial. Yes.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
