Furthermore, it is understood from this that people of knowledge should adopt an extremely gentle and compassionate attitude towards those who ask questions and seekers of knowledge. The thirst for knowledge of those who are eager for it should be quenched, and those who seek a fatwa should be given a correct and proper fatwa in accordance with the Book and the Sunnah, thus fulfilling the duty of religious guidance as it ought to be, just as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) paused his blessed sermon to quench the intellectual thirst and longing of the questioner, taught him the knowledge of the Qur’an and Hadith, and then completed his sermon. Fidāhu abī wa nafsī wa rūḥī.
