Question
Can I rely on the fatwas of the scholars in my country, specifically the Sharia doctors we trust, even though some of them commit sins?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Whoever's piety is not apparent, their knowledge cannot be trusted; they should not be consulted nor relied upon for God's judgment; because they have not been truthful with God, so how can they be truthful with people? And God knows best.
