The position of the one seeking a ruling when the rulings of the muftis differ

Question:
What is the position of the one seeking a ruling regarding the disagreement of the muftis and the conflict of their rulings in some cases?

Answer:
As for what was mentioned before, he should fear Allah, and he should seek out the one who is closest to knowledge, virtue, and mindfulness of Allah, for the muftis are not all the same.
If the one seeking a ruling reflects on their conditions and looks into their states, and what appears to him regarding their mindfulness of Allah and their knowledge, and what the people of knowledge say about them, and what the people of mindfulness of Allah say about them, he should seek out the truth and take what is closest to good, and what is closest to the tranquility of his heart and the expansion of his chest.
And generally, whenever he fears Allah and asks Him for success and that He expand his chest for the truth, generally he will be granted success and guided to what is the stronger position.
