The Mufti Is Accountable and the Layman Follows a Trustworthy Scholar
On this temporary planet, earth, Allah sent down His Prophets and Messengers to their people to know Allah and to be on His straight path.

Habitually pursuing the odd views of scholars leads to heresy
Assalamu 'alaykum. I've read on this website a quote of Imam al-Awza'i: "Whoever prefers to follow the exceptional rulings of Ulamah (scholars) gets out of the fold of Islam." (from Sunan of Al Baihaqi, taken from Fatwa No : 86931). On another website I've read something similar, but with slightly different wording: "Whoever holds on to the rare and.. More
