“Someone who is overwhelmed by his senses, and whose knowledge is weak—despite his mere memorization, without true understanding—may issue a fatwa out of ignorance, ulterior motives, or because he was deceived by someone who tricked him—issuing a fatwa that permits pilgrims to unlawfully acquire Hajj permits whenever possible. He would justify this with claims that only someone deeply misguided would make, particularly those who follow their whims and desires. Hidden within their words are pitfalls that reveal far more than they conceal.”
