The gist of the :
Reputable jurists issue fatwas only based on legitimate evidence. Jurisprudential differences have multiple causes, including: a jurist not believing in the authenticity of a specific , the hadith not reaching them, or their belief that the ruling has been abrogated. Examples of some jurists, such as the Hanafis, relying on weak hadiths include: their saying that ablution is invalidated by loud laughter during prayer, and their saying that usury is permissible between a Muslim and a non-Muslim combatant in a land of war. This is based on hadiths they believed to be authentic.
