Is Islamhelpline.com reliable site? I have read some fatwa in this web site that contradicts with the hadiths.
Answer
Q: We often receive emails on Islamic information through the internet without knowing the source of the information. Kindly advise if one should accept such emails or not.
A: There are two aspects: a) The person/s who run the site, b) The information on the site.
It is of vital importance to know who runs the site. The information being correct or not is secondary as many people place unanimously-accepted information to attract visitors and thereafter propagate their incorrect beliefs and ideologies. Ibn Sireen (RA) advised, 'Verily this knowledge is Deen (religion), see from who you get it.' (Mishkaat pg.37; Qadeemi)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
