What is the position of the general public regarding the anomalous fatwas that have recently spread, such as the fatwa concerning the breaking of magic with magic, and should those who act upon them be denounced?
A Muslim must guard his tongue from speaking about Allah Almighty without knowledge, because it is among the gravest of sins. The mufti must strive for accuracy and avoid boldness in issuing fatwas. He must admit his lack of knowledge if asked about something he does not know, and he must avoid unusual fatwas that cause weakness in religion or bad conduct. The questioner must ask trustworthy scholars and denounce those who are lenient or who follow unusual fatwas, and he must avoid acting upon their fatwas.
