Who is entitled to issuing fatwas?

Question:

Who should be responsible for issuing Fatwas and guidance in religious matters? Some religious people here speak English and a little Urdu but they can not speak the beloved Arabic; the language of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Are these people qualified for Ifta’ and guidance in religious matters?

Answer:

Issuing fatwas and religious guidance should be given by those who are well-versed in the knowledge of the Quran and the Sunnah as well as the opinions of scholars. There is nothing wrong in addressing people in the language they understand, even if it is not the Arabic language. Allah knows best.
