باب مَنْ هَابَ الْفُتْيَا وَكَرِهَ التَّنَطُّعَ وَالتَّبَدُّعَ:Chapter: Those Who Feared Giving Fatwa and Disliked Excessiveness and Innovation
Hadith 139
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: "إِنَّ الْعَالِمَ يَدْخُلُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَبَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ لِنَفْسِهِ الْمَخْرَجَ".
Ibn al-Munkadir said: The scholar intervenes between Allah Almighty and His servants (through issuing fatwas), so he should seek a way out for himself (i.e., he should avoid issuing fatwas).
