THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

‘He should eat'

‘Abdullaah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I asked my father about the man who gets cupped during the month of Ramadhaan so he said:

‘He has a fast to make up for, but there is no expiation upon him – except that ‘Ataa would say: ‘there is expiation upon him.’'

‘Abdullaah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I asked my father about the fasting person who gets cupped during the month of Ramadhaan, so he said:
