i strongly diagree wid r point of view. if u talk to a competent scholar he will give the appropriate answer. if u need fatwa (an opinion by a scholar on a social or religious issue in the light of shariah) they will give in black and white.
But what u need to search for a rite kind of person who is well versed in the field to which ur question relates.
For example if u want an opinion regarding the permissibility of hedge, derivative or short selling (in the stock market) u need to take some pain to find the scholar who is well versed in the particular subject. In our life for open-heart surgery we dont go to MBBS (RMP)… we got to heart surgeon.
i have seen many threads in fashion and beauty section member asking “who is best for bridal make up in Karachi SABZ , alle nora and xyz” or ppl asking 4 best hair stylist in lahore but have never seen someone asking 4 best mufti 4 a fatwa regarding interest , trading and neother issue. The simple reason is deen is not our priority and we are not serious in adhering shariah principle.
The 2nd reason i have seen is habit of ppl that they dont know ABC of the shariah and start asking the stupid question by presenting their weired and ridiculous logics. thats kind of unserious attitude definitely entail silence from the other party.
Recently a member who has developed the habit of bashing alim deen and islam
on some criticized on the tax system of Pakistan in such a ridiculous way that speak volume of his ignorance about the subject… i asked him to explain why so criticizing the certain aspect of the tax structure … he did not turn up . So this kind of attitude should be avoided.
What we need to do is to search 4 the right person who can answer our queries related to deen. Keep in touch wid them and most importantly be respect to them. We have plenty of qualified and competent alim alhumdulillah
