A fatwa (religious edict) is based on the Qur’an, Sunnah, ijma’ (scholarly consensus), and sound qiyas (analogy), not on the statement of a particular scholar, even though the sayings of scholars are used for guidance and enlightenment. Sheikh Al-Albani is a prominent scholar, but like other scholars, he may be right or wrong, and "everyone's words can be taken or left, except the occupant of this grave" [referring to the Prophet Muhammad]. Islamweb benefits from his corrections and jurisprudential opinions in its fatwas.
