Summary
In Islam, a person's opinion may be accepted or rejected, except the sayings of the Prophet. The guidance for choosing a spouse rests on the hadith that stresses good religion. A spiritual guide must follow the Sunnah when giving views, especially on marriage. Firasat of the believer does exist, but it must come from a person who is God-fearing and understands the Quran and Sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang guru mursyid mestilah menurut Sunnah Rasulullah dalam mengeluarkan pendapat atau pandangan lebih-lebih lagi apabila melibatkan masa depan seseorang iaitu perkahwinan.
