Why has Islamweb's fatwa methodology changed from providing evidence-based rulings to merely quoting the sayings of jurists?
Fatwas vary according to the circumstances. Some require mentioning the sayings of the Imams, while others necessitate quoting the evidence, even though most inquirers from the general public do not understand the texts, and their ultimate goal is to obtain a summary of the ruling. The fatwas on the website follow a controlled mechanism for their preparation, review, and publication, while ensuring the mention of scriptural texts and the sayings of verified scholars.
