Is it permissible to adopt Ibn Taymiyyah's view on conditional divorce while the heart is not at ease with it, and is heartfelt reassurance a condition for being absolved of responsibility before Allah?
It is not permissible to act upon the of a if the questioner’s soul is not at ease with it, as Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn ‘Uthaymeen mentioned, relying on the : "Consult your heart, even if people give you a fatwa and give you a fatwa." The questioner must first consult himself, and the mufti's fatwa will not save him from Allah if he knows that the matter is contrary to what the mufti has ruled.
If the lack of trust and reassurance is due to the mufti, then the question must be asked again until reassurance is achieved, unless the reason is obsessive doubts (waswas). This applies to issues of (independent reasoning) where disagreement is permissible. As for matters for which there is a clear text from the Qur’an or or a consensus, there is no room for consulting one's heart in them; rather, obedience to Allah and following His Messenger are obligatory.
