The questioner is advised to seek refuge with Allah from Satan and to turn away from his whispers concerning ambiguous divorce pronouncements (kinayat al-). There is no blame upon one who lacks the ability to make a scholarly preference, if he follows the opinion of the majority in matters of disagreement. The questioner may emulate the majority of scholars regarding what is unclear to him concerning ambiguous divorce pronouncements.
