What is the ruling to be adopted when there are multiple fatwas with different opinions on your site?
It is necessary to read the question and answer together due to the varying circumstances of those seeking fatwas and the differences in their rulings. If the questions are identical but the answers differ, the reason is a difference in scholarly preference among researchers in the Department. This disagreement does not fall outside the scope of acceptable (independent reasoning). For anyone confused by this apparent contradiction, they should compare the evidence for the different opinions and adopt the one with stronger evidence, or ask the most trusted scholar they know and follow their opinion. If scholars are equally trustworthy, one may follow whichever scholar they wish, though caution is better for discharging one's responsibility.
