Question
A Maulana says that muqallideen in this age should go to the Hadith for an answer when there is ikhtilaaf among the Fuqaha. Is this valid?
Answer
The contention that the muqallideen in this age should go to the Hadith when there is Ikhtilaaf (difference of opinion) among the Fuqaha is evidence for the shallowness of the knowledge of the one who makes such a preposterous claim. The Maulana should go back to Madrasah and begin his darsiyaat all over. When he is capable of gorging out such drivel, it is of no benefit to discuss with him at an academic level. It is a sheer waste of time.
