Contemporary Fatwas 4/1 explores how some people become frustrated with fatwas when they extend beyond the purely religious aspects like prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage, nursing, marriage, and divorce, to include economic, political, medical, or astronomical issues that relate to religion. Those, often critics of religion, question why religious scholars should intervene in every part of life, seeking to offer rulings on all matters. The responsibility does not lie with religious scholars, but with the religion itself, which mandates that individuals and communities adhere to religious rulings and consult knowledgeable individuals about unclear or unfamiliar issues. These critics attempt to strip Islam of its all-encompassing and comprehensive nature, which guides all aspects of life both individual and social, according to God's commandments. This is evident in the fatwas of figures like Ibn Taymiyyah, Rashid Rida, Sheikh Mahmoud Shaltout, and others, along with the major muftis like Sheikh Abdel-Majid Salim, Sheikh Hassanain Makhlouf, Sheikh Hassan Mamoun, Sheikh Gad al-Haq, and others, published by the Ministry of Awqaf in around twenty volumes, covering every aspect of life.
