Why is there contradiction in fatwas concerning jurisprudential issues, such as repeating Umrah during a single journey and the ruling on preventing menstruation?
There is no contradiction between the fatwas on the website regarding the issue of repeating ' from outside the boundary. What was first established is permissibility, which is affirmed by the majority of scholars. As for the second , it does not prohibit or deem as an innovation the repetition of 'Umrah; rather, it states that it is not recommended. This does not imply disliking it, but rather indicates that it is less preferable, due to the lack of evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or most of his Companions did so.
There is also no contradiction between the website's fatwas regarding the issue of taking medication to stop menstruation. What is established on the website is permissibility, and that there is no harm for a woman to take it. As for the previous fatwa's lack of recommendation, it was out of fear of its health harms or side effects, not for prohibition or invalidation.
It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge to be precise in understanding the phrasing of fatwas and the words used in them.
