Is it permissible for a Muslim to adopt some of the less-preferred opinions or dispensations (rukhsa) that have been stated by some reputable scholars, subject to specific conditions, with an clarification of the concept of dispensations and the difference between adopting the majority opinions and following aberrant dispensations? Is it permissible to follow dispensations? And what is the most preponderant view regarding choosing between 'azīmah (strict adherence) and rukhsa (dispensation)?

A Muslim who is capable of understanding the evidences should follow what the Qur’an and Sunnah indicate, which is what the Companions and the Salaf unanimously agreed upon. As for the common person, he must ask trustworthy scholars, and there is no sin upon him if he adopts a less-preferred opinion (qaul marjooh) as long as his mufti is trustworthy. As for constantly seeking out dispensations (rukhus), it is blameworthy, but taking a dispensation when there is a need is permissible. In summary, acting upon thepreferred opinion (rajih) is obligatory, and one should not abandon it for a less-preferred opinion merely for psychological comfort.
