Sunan ad-Darimi 162 — The Seriousness of Giving Religious Verdicts

أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: "مَنْ أَفْتَى بِفُتْيَا يُعَمَّى عَلَيْهَا، فَإِثْمُهَا عَلَيْه".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Whoever gives a fatwa without knowledge or understanding, its sin will be upon him (the one who gave the fatwa).
