IBN AL HYDERABADEE 
One extreme to the other?
As salaamu alaikum,
IslamQA’s view of Shari’ah is too narrow. Issues like this have many different rulings, it depends on what scholar you like to follow.
wa’alaykum assalam
Although I do agree with you that IslamQA isn’t good for questions specific to your locality, how does the ruling that was quoted (about dogs) differ from one locality to another?
asSalaam’alaykum Atif,
If you ask me(about the fatwa on dogs), as far as I know they dont differ.
I didn’t want to extrapolate too much on it, thats why I left it as is(mainly to refresh my own thoughts when I come back and look at this post). The point of quoting the brother was to show how certain ideas such as – referring islamic issues to those people of knowledge in your locality – requires a decent amount of background in fiqh and what you are dealing with, and if you ask me should be discussed with some caution.
Unfortunately, most people dont have that background in fiqh. The issue or idea of referring to schoalrs in your locality is being misundertood by a lot of Muslims(that care to ask) to the extent that it might be a cause for cutting them off from the already present readily accesible answers on Islamic issues such as IslamQA etc.(take the brother mentioned here for example). And this misunderstanding is being held to with a lot of passion due to what they understood from what ‘so and so’ speaker said. We can assume that the people being addressed, when speaking or explaining this idea of referring to scholars from one’s locality, have the ability to determine what issues change rulings from time to time and place to place and what rulings dont, but I dont think they do, and thus the example that I present above.
Also another point – to what degree do these limits apply as far as the changes in rulings are concerned? Someone can hear a khutbah or general talk on this issue and come and pretty much dismiss the entirety of fiqh or any issue in it saying that this ruling only applied to that time because we live in a modern and completely different world.
I’m looking forward to the new book being translated by Suhaibwebb.com by Yusuf alQardawi to answer these questions – Factors that change religious edicts. But really this issue might be understood by those who would care to read the book, but for the general public that has gained this idea from a single talk they heard, we can only pray it doesn’t lead to anything counter-productive.
It might be a very small concern but I’ve seen traces of it here and there in different communities and different people.
Allah the All Might Knows Best!
