Referring to the person one has confidence in
Question
Nowadays even well learned Muftis pass different fatwas for the same subject. Which are we layman to follow? Can we select what we prefer?
Answer
We suggest that you refer to the Mufti Saheb that you have greater confidence in.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
