Choosing between two different answers of two Muftis

· 15 Rajab 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What should a person do if he gets 2 different answers from different scholars of the same Hanafi fiqh? Will there be an issue if he ignores one?

Answer

He should prefer the one who he feels has a better understanding of deen and that which is closer to taqwa.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
