English translation

3657. Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever is given a Fatwa that is not based on knowledge, his sin is borne by the one who gave the Fatwa.'" Sulaimān Al-Mahrī (a narrator) added in his Hadīth: "The one who gives advice to his brother, knowing that what is better for him lies elsewhere, he has betrayed him." This is the wording of Sulaimān. (Ḥasan)
