Hurrying in issuing fatwas.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some young people rush into issuing fatwas, having obtained only a simple degree. What is the ruling on rushing and hurrying in issuing fatwas without knowledge?
Answer:
Answer: This is forbidden and not permissible, and it is speaking about Allah without knowledge, and it is greater than shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: “Say: My Lord has only forbidden the immoralities, [whether] apparent or concealed, and sin and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know.” So it is more severe, and I seek refuge in Allah.
