Those Who Give Verdicts of Their Own Opinion to People

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The most audacious from among you at giving verdicts will be the most hasty from among you to enter the Hellfire.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘If we were to give verdicts to people according to our opinions and whims, we would be among those who perish. And, we would be giving them verdicts based on mere reports handed down from the Prophet (SAWA) when we have the very principles of knowledge, which we have inherited from our forefathers…

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Whoever gives a verdict to people from their opinion submits to that which they have no knowledge of, and whoever submits to that which he does not have knowledge of is opposing Allah as he permits and prohibits what he does not have knowledge of.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Flee from a verdict the way you would flee from a lion, and do not let your neck be a bridge for others.
