Concise Introduction to Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence Based on al-Waraqat [Part 31]
Requirements Needed for al-Mustafti
• Al-Mustafti is a person, who asks about the rule of Islamic law on a particular matter.
• Al-Mustafti can be a layperson or an educated person, but not a mujtahid.
• Al-Mustafti is permitted to follow a mujtahid concerning rules of Islamic law, as he is unable to deduce rules of Islamic law from their proofs.
• Al-Mustafti must follow the opinion of al-Mufti as he cannot make juristic reasoning by himself. In other words, when al-Mustafti asks al-Mufti about the rule of Islamic law on a particular issue, he must act according to the rule that al-Mufti issued.
• Al-Mujtahid is not permitted to follow the opinions of other scholars because he can make juristic reasoning, except in cases of necessity, such as there is a case requiring an immediate fatwa.
