			hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala Milena via Vida who Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
salam, ala Houma to Sleeman Kathira about all praise due to Allah His praise and blessings and peace
be upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his family, his companions and his
followers until the day of judgment. I bear witness that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his last and final messenger. My dear brothers and sisters,
Allah Subhana Allah said, in the Lucha Amana Quran because Professor Liu Allah decree In Kuntum,
that Allah moon, ask the people of dhikr the people of knowledge, if you don't know, and in there be
		

			salatu salam as Abu Dawood reported, Karla Allah Sir Lu Hina je Lu and iniciativa ullery you so why
didn't they ask when they have no knowledge?
		

			What to removes ignorance is knowledge. And for Buhari well Muslim in Hadith and Nabi sallallahu
alayhi salam could have either mature in Allah Allah in zero huddle element ligament Ihsahn. Allah
will not take the knowledge just like that by making disappeared by but by putting our taking away
the scholars are in MA Hakuna be a cup de Luna hat, either lamea BCA leemon Our LEM YubiKey halimun
da the national Oosten Johanna when there is no scholars left people will start asking people who
have no knowledge and those people will answer them with no knowledge and they will miss guide them.
They already misguided then they will miss guide people. That shows you clearly that we should ask
		

			people of knowledge. That's why Mohammed bin serine and Merica bananas well I read him a set color
in the hurdle il Modine fumble or assignment who Deena calm? This knowledge of Islam is part of your
deen part of your religion. And you have to know where you're taking your religion from. It is an
obligatory upon the person who needs fatwa, who needs answer who needs clarification in Islam to
search and look for the one who has knowledge and who can be you know, sufficient to give you the
answer. Not just any Facebook post not any you know WhatsApp message, not any person who have
mashallah good voice of Quran, not with the longest beard. That's not how we define the person of
		

			knowledge. The person of knowledge is not someone you know, one person was asking a
		

			A person I know and here said why did you ask him? He said, mashallah look at maybe wedding film and
a turban? I said, Yeah, but that doesn't make him able to give you an answer, or to give you a
fatwa. You know, exactly like, you know, if you see somebody in the hospital, doesn't mean he's a
doctor. And not by default, or somebody in a mechanic shop doesn't make him a mechanic. Somebody
comes to the masjid all the time doesn't make him a scholar, or give him the ball or lead salah or
even have the Quran. The knowledge is something more beyond that. And how would they know that this
person capable of getting fatter or not? I mean, that's a legitimate question. The scholar set that
		

			person do his best, as as long as Allah sees that you doing your best to look for the one who's
qualified to give fatwa or not, and this one or some of these points, ours? I will tell you some few
points that the scholar said, for instance, that someone who will be positioned himself to give
fatwa one scholars seem aware of him, you know, he is with them, and none of them will object to him
giving fatwa like an Imam Malik Rahim, Allah said, I was there around me 1750s And I used to give
fatwa and none of them objected to me. That's the kind of approval that this person is capable of
giving fatwa. Also, a person who became so well known to be a gram have to be a mufti, some as a
		

			scholar, you know, like, for example, we know you might not know chef Salah has salary, for example,
qualification, but he became a well known figure worldwide as a scholars or an belong to an
institute a fatwa, like a friend to a committee like he part of Al Azhar referred to a committee or
Saudi Arabia federal committee or Indian federal committee or the Minister of heads off the muftis
and Jordan are the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, you know, someone like known to be a person of
knowledge, the head or the faculty member of one of the respected Islamic universities in the world,
at people like this, it's at least you might not be the best but for you as I am, me as an average
		

			person, that's enough for me if I know that this person has this kind of credential to ask, also, if
I know that the scholar refer to him as a mufti, some people that I know refer to that person as a
person that you can take fatwa from. Also, one other thing is if he's known to write books and
publish so many articles and research papers, in the in academic papers in the field of knowledge
and also a person who have a certificate. In the old days, they have shad Ejaz that, that the
scholar will write Jazza This is a Mufti today, in modern life, there is something called a
university graduate, at least for you as an average person, okay, he has a shady degree as a master
		

			in Sharia degree or in Islamic Studies. That's an enough minimum for you to know that this person
capable off giving that fatwa.
		

			Another issue here, a lot of people ask whenever I talk about asking questions and asking mufti, do
I have to ask someone belong to a specific madhhab? You know, for example, I'm from Palestine and in
Palestine, we are Henneberry. So that means I have to ask only somebody's or I am from Egypt of
southern Egypt and southern Egypt Maliki's in general. So that means they only asked Maliki or
Hanafy from from Bangladesh for example, the answer for this No, you don't have you're not entitled
to that nothing in Islam ever said that. You have to be adhering to a specific group of movies or a
school of thought in fatwah or anything of that nature. These modalities are meant for the student
		

			of knowledge to learn to be able to master the field. So if I'm studying FIP, I study through one of
these modalities. I mean, as a mufti, I use this McGraw Hill as my reference to be able to answer
the questions. But for the average person, no, and to ask him to be a to the must follow an opinion
of a specific scholars. This is not something that's ever been existed in history of Islam,
especially in the early days. What if I asked him on that? You know what, I just asked anyone, just
a random person online? You know, I know no matter him, Allah Zarqa. She said there is an agreement
between the scholars that this photo is invalid. So if you take photo from someone on a Facebook on
		

			an WhatsApp message, and you're not sure who's the Mufti is, are you not sure that this is referred
to an entity that is trusted? For example, Islam
		

			Question, q&a to trusted fatwah website, Islam online fatwa? That's a trusted website. The only
good, good even if I don't know who is the Mufti, you send a message to Amgen. I'm gonna reply to
you. You know, you don't know who is the Mufti in necessarily, but that's a trusted entity that if
that of Egypt, will Azure will answer you not only will tell you the name of the Mufti, but that
entity is trusted, that's fine. But just a random thing on no reference to any, you know, Institute
or entities or a specific person that known to be
		

			a person of knowledge. No, that's not allowed. That's not sufficient. And that's not allowed to be
followed, because one of the condition is 118.
		

			And,
		

			and that's basically the strongest opinion among the scholars that this not will be sufficient at
all. Even if you doubt have a doubt. Is he a scholar, not scholar, you're not allowed to ask. I
think one of the most
		

			pressing issues here is the issue of with this globalization with this ability to connect with so
many scholars and to hear so many factors and opinions about different matters. What I did with
these differences, given the city to LML, enough,
		

			golden age of Las
		

			Hala mystery with a stellar photographer to give a time map if there's different opinions, how can I
deal with this and learn about him Allah debated over this Rahimullah wrote a lengthy article and
the lamb Yeji belly and yet the hara it is obligatory upon you to look at these opinions, and to
find the one that you think that it is the closest to the Sharia closes to Islam. To be you might
say, chef, I am not saying never study Sharia, how would I be able to? Are you asking me to make
Theurgy? between people? No, we're not asking you to do that. We're not asking you to look at each
one's evidence and to evaluate it. No, no, no, I'm asking you Do you not capable of that? Because
		

			that's not their specialty. But what we ask you to have a general look, exactly no pain said, like
when you go to two doctors. One doctor said, right now I have to take you to the operation room. I'm
gonna cut you open and remove it. And another doctor said, No, I didn't need to do that. You know,
there's a lot of treatments for this without any surgery. You know, you're you're a diabetic person,
a surgeon, you have so many complications for your age. And others said, No, don't worry, we'll
figure that out. Shala, after we get you out of the operation room, you have a common sense, you
have to make a choice, you have to make the gap between the two, a woman woman giving two
		

			medications, two methods of contraception. You know, she's not a doctor is not a specialist to
figure out which one is much better. But she reads here she read there and in the end of the day,
you're going to make a choice. And it doesn't matter which one you go with, but you will do your
best. That's what Mr. hemella said that you have to put an effort into this matter when there is
opinions that is so against each other's and they don't go along with each others. And what kind of
effort I put they didn't leave you hanging dry they gave you okay, they give you certain guidelines
and that's what I want you to pay attention to. First guidelines. You look at the two opinions or
		

			three or different opinions or, or fat words and tumbled Ursula theta comb and Hill fatwah. If the
opinion or that fat was what is pounded on, somebody telling you a lie, I feel that way. Somebody
gives you no evidence from Quran and Sunnah. Somebody said, Oh, this is the opinion of my chef while
someone will bring you clear he will say this is the majority This is the head even though he's a
solemn This is a rule in Islam. This is spider and Islam and so forth. That's one thing to keep in
mind. Another one to see many of the photographer's when you especially when you go online, any
fatwas any opinion related to a specific issues. There is two sides of it, the Islamic evidence that
		

			back it up, and how much it match the situation. So I might look at opinion for someone who lives
in, for example, in Turkey. Okay, like that day, I was listening to some Imams online. You know, we
have a group between Imams, and they were saying, You know what, what I live in and he lives in
somewhere overseas after hobo Juma somebody stand up in the back and give translation in English.
All the misogyny you guys in Europe and America. You should not give up on English should give up on
Arabic and have someone to translate in the back
		

			But this person he doesn't understand, you know that the majority 90% of the people don't understand
Arabic. So you have to also look at how much this opinion this fatwa are aligned with the situation
that you are in. Another area you can look at it might be on your mobile hypothyroidism about a
third year. But never Ella Mota Allah cotton masala, hemozoin Anna, methyl and the candidate Michel.
		

			Michel Tangela libera. So, in another alarm, had the younger Sahaba libera was sin, an issue that is
so delicate and issue that, you know, there is a difference between stem cells, you know, can it be
used or not donating or organ donations, you know, using, for example, evolve in the heart that is
taken from an animals that is to consider niches and these issues are contemporary. That's
difference among say, Hey, I came before Mahara should I pray to rock as the hated mustard or not?
		

			That someone who is a student of knowledge can answer this, but in many major issues like higher
issues of new issues, or an issue has to do with war with peace, something has to do with the
general public, what do we do we go to somebody who our elders have more experience. And also we
look at something else we call it collective wish they had when a could run into more of a hurdle
and me as an person, I look at what the majority says of the scholars, what is the photo of a
council of fatwah. So instead of chiffonade opinion, it became the MGS opinion or it became the
Muslim world Thai Council of opinion. And these are things will help you and guide you to deal with
		

			these differences. as well. Another area another principle, and let me go to him Allah yah. Yah,
Kowloon tumbled in an hour I'm in Houma. Well, we're out of Jackman, another Illinois alum, relevant
debated Should I look at the most knowledgeable or the most pious and many said the most pious
beside the end, Misha Ibet, Jahad law, they are all knowledgeable, maybe someone more knowledge than
the other. But this more pious this should go with the pious. Why? Paulo because Taqwa are what are
we saying nothing unfair to our bill John was a mere human animal habitat, became an alum for Nolan
giftable jelica Kevin muhabbat. They said you look at someone who pious have more Taqwa because he
		

			has a knowledge and his depo will never allow them to see what he doesn't know, but also will never
allowed him to compromise the religion.
		

			He will be straightforward with you and he will tell you the right opinion. How are they know who is
more pies? You do your best, unwholesome 100 to the point is Allah to see you trying putting the
effort also one of the things that you learn about him Allah said I'll share with you I'm lucky
enough sick to hold out when I share it I like women nurse What had you from our society or Muslim
young will Azar
		

			when it comes to personal choice, you can choose that more strict opinion but when they come me to
give that to a to an organization, I look for the opinion if they are in the same level of love I
look for it's easier something for the masses and look what is you know will be easy for the masses.
Not I can be as strict with myself as much as you want. But when it comes to the photo to the
public, that's a different different thing.
		

			And also, you're only
		

			gonna be a politician you can actually go kill a band or ice or Maha Coppola and he became more
strict when it comes to people's money and rights. But I became a little bit more can go toward the
Lean lean towards the easiest opinion when it comes towards between you and Allah Allah and a bad
McDonough Allah Masha.
		

			Allah Subhana Allah and Musa Maha Yanni with this between Allah that's why for example digital Amana
Hanabi that to save a lot of scholars like among the Hannibal and others, the machete Macedo and
Mala Mala don't throw holes Kabir when it comes to business transaction, you find them very lenient,
so easy. But when it comes to Salawa, a badDo headrow Siyam are Athena they're very strict.
		

			Be any also they have another area which is basically they making things easy in the in the a by
that more strict and then what am Allah in the business regime they are more lenient so no matter
him we'll also look at the one of these. Look at this as one of the principal you put all this
together, all this together, and if the end you're still confused Alhamdulillah you choose any
opinion that
		

			If you can take from a trustworthy scholars, and it's sufficient for you, and by the way, you're not
obligated in Islam to ask multiple chairs. If you ask one chair when he gives you the answer, it is
okay. Sometimes people draw me, you know, in any crazy he told me shall I'm asking all the shoe How
about this? Let's because I'll be one of them next and don't ask me how he asked all shuffles to

Muslim can make his own rules that's very common by the way Allah so many people say this
		

			you know, especially in certain in the Middle East you know there's couple of names to the famous
individuals who promote this openly and many TV channels programs writing books and articles about
it. So the gonna tell you how US Islam is easy. You make your own rules. We're not Catholic here I
didn't need to need a priest is a chef is not a priest. Have you been you didn't know what's
Catholic. You didn't know what Islam you didn't know what's priest you didn't know this was shared
by saying that what we object to what has been practicing in Catholicism and others, that someone
claimed the tea is your way to Allah when it comes to the Ibadah Yeah, and another way you can pray
		

			just straight to Allah. You cannot make dua to Allah you cannot make Toba repent to Allah you have
to go through a priest to commit committed to him What does sin that's what we object to, or the
priest has the power to give you a you know, a forgiveness or grant you Jana like what they used to
doing the evil
		

			Yoni medieval days, you know, grant the agenda to the king and queen and stuff like that. That's
what we say there is no Rabbani of Islam that is nobody have this power and it's not but it doesn't
mean that you have the power to basically to be a person who what, who give fat one make rules and
that's not allowed. Only people have knowledge. We're not we're not the same in Islam, when it comes
to the level of knowledge.
		

			man Yeah, lm lasercomb Allah and those who have knowledge not equal to those who don't have
knowledge. Yes, Islam is easy but still this is a science this is a you can learn if you want and
you can be a chef yourself, but not by claim it is by taking these steps in normal InMobi dad Lumia
