A: All Praise is due to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, and Companions. To commence, the Islamic Fiqh Academy does not form a consensus of opinion, and the same applies to other similar organizations.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
