How to Atone for a Wrong Fatwa
A woman reads a lot in religious sciences, and when she is asked, she answers according to her knowledge, and sometimes the answer is wrong, which makes her regret. How can she atone for her sin? And how should she respond if asked about a fatwa?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for her to answer except after studying the religious sciences with a teacher, so that she has a correct understanding. She must seek forgiveness and repent for what has come from her, and not return to answering except after learning. And God knows best.
