Summary
This answer notes that scholars have discussed talfiq at length in the books of usul fiqh. Muslims are advised to study the proper foundations and methodology of knowledge, following the framework of their own madhhab. By doing so they are safe from any talfiq, except that which has a firm basis and evidence.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
