Difference of Fatwa

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
What one can do if he gets fatwa from Muftis of Ahlay haq. or any information from a Alim on 1 matter but both differ? should one have to choose 1 mufti and asks from him and do amal?
Generally this is what should be done, those scholars who are rightly guided and are on the true path should be consulted to issue their fatwa. Sometimes some of the details tend to be hazy which can cause confusion. In that case one should consult with other scholars and see if you can compare the two fatawa to make sense of the answers. If one can’t resolve the issue even after that, then one should consult with scholars presenting the whole situation in front of them and ask them resolve it.
