Fiqh is to Know the Difference of Opinion Between the Scholars in Areas of Ijtihaad and Not to Annoy the People


Shaykh Saaleh bin Fawzaan al-Fawzaan [May Allaah Preserve him ] said:

It is not proper for anybody to create confusion or annoy people when it comes to Fiqh issues, especially if he finds someone doing something or holding an opinion which is different to his. This is not permissible. If someone is doing something which he has evidence for, then it is not permissible for someone to go around confusing or annoying the people in order for the people to follow the same opinion he does. This isn’t Fiqh. Some people think that by doing this they are spreading knowledge and Fiqh, this isn’t Fiqh rather this is Jahl, this is ignorance. Fiqh is to know the differences of opinions between the scholars in areas of Ijtihaad and not to annoy the people when these differences between the scholars are present in regards to certain rulings, this is the real Fiqh.

[Sharh Mukhtasar Zaad al-Ma’aad, Tape 11, 18-21 mins (29/10/1430)]
