What is the correct course of action when faced with conflicting religious fatwas, and what should one do when choosing between the easier and the more difficult opinion, with an example regarding marital intimacy (intercourse) without ejaculation and the obligation of performing ghusl?

A Muslim is required to learn about the matters of his religion, for seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified the virtue of people of knowledge by saying: "The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the least of you."
