Seeking advice from many people

Q: As an inexperienced youngster, if I need advice regarding something, not a fiqh aspect and nothing to do with halaal and haraam, but just personal advice that I wish to seek from elders... preferably people with deeni knowledge, can I send an email to more than one Mufti or Moulana that I trust? Not to cause differences or confusion amongst people but just simply to understand the different wisdoms and advices that each one can give that could potentially greatly benefit me.

A: This generally creates confusion when you do not have any clear direction. It is better that you refer to one person. After you have seen different people, the person you find to be more agreeable refer to him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
