The prominent Azharite scholar, Sheikh `Abdul-Majeed Subh, states the following: “First, I would like to stress the fact that Muslim scholars do not issue conflicting Fatwas regarding a well-established rule in the Shari`ah, though they may differ as regard Ijtihad or juristic deduction. In such cases, the one who is seeking the Fatwa should compare the different evidence adopted by every scholar, and then choose the opinion to which his true and sincere Islamic conscience guides him.”
Moreover, the eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, adds:
“When there are conflicting Fatwas, the Muslim is supposed to choose the opinion which he deems sound according to his true conscience.”
