What is the optimal approach to dealing with fatwas and not over-scrutinizing rulings, along with clarifying the ruling on feeling comfortable knowing that someone else has the same problem, and is this considered envy?

We advise the questioner, who appears to be suffering from obsessive thoughts (waswas), to disregard them and follow a moderate approach in understanding religious rulings. The limits of a woman's awrah (intimate parts) in front of her mahrams (unmarriageable kin) have been previously clarified, and the Hanbalis permit looking at what commonly appears, such as the extremities. As for a woman's tight clothing, it refers to what describes her body and reveals her allure. Regarding the fist-length beard, it is permissible to trim what exceeds a fist's length, and this matter is clear. As for feeling relieved upon learning that someone else has the same problem, this is not envy but rather a form of seeking solace, similar to the verse: "And all that We relate to you of the news of the messengers is to strengthen thereby your heart." (Quran 11:120). This is natural for alleviating one's self.
