Are all matters differed upon by scholars considered doubtful, or does that depend on the strength of the evidence? And is taking the view that a conditional divorce pronounced out of forgetfulness does not occur, which is a strong opinion, considered falling into doubtful matters? And if the matter concerns the third divorce, preceded by previous conditional pronouncements, with the wife confirming her forgetfulness on all occasions, is there any objection to adopting the view that the divorce does not occur?

It is permissible for common people to follow whomever they wish among the people of knowledge regarding matters of dispute, as long as they are reassured by their saying and not following their whims. One should refrain from excessive questioning, branching out, and making assumptions in matters of divorce and the like, as this opens the door to waswas (whispers of Satan/obsessive thoughts) and confuses the mind. The Sharia has condemned excessive questioning and wasting time, for the frequent questioning of previous nations and their disagreements with their prophets were the cause of their destruction. Ibn Al-Qayyim described the state of the Companions as such: they used to ask about what was beneficial to them concerning actual occurrences, not about hypothetical situations, obscure matters, or difficult questions.
