Ruling on disagreement in jurisprudential issues?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on disagreement in some jurisprudential issues? Knowing that these issues cause many problems? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
People of knowledge should strive earnestly for closeness, agreement, and the effort to avoid disagreement, with each one exercising independent legal reasoning so that the truth is known by its evidence, and so that they align with the evidence and agree upon it, so that there is no disagreement among them as much as possible... It is obligatory for scholars to strive greatly to unite the word, and for the word to be one, so that the matter is not confused for the common people.
As for if that is not facilitated, because this one sees that the truth is with him, and this one sees that the truth is with him, then the believer exercises independent legal reasoning and follows the one who is more deserving of the truth in his view, the one who is closer to scrupulousness and knowledge. If matters become confused for him, he follows the one who is closer to knowledge, virtue, scrupulousness, and knowledge of the evidence in his view; he follows him, because for the common person, his scholar is his school of jurisprudence. So the common person asks and looks into it, and if the matter becomes confused for him, and the two, or more, disagree with him, he pays attention to the one who is closer to correctness in his belief, and acts according to his saying. Yes...
