ISSUE 12: Ihtiyat Mustahab always accompanies a fatwa, meaning, in that ruling, along with the Mujtahid expressing his opinion, he also gives an precautionary measure, and in that ruling, the Muqallid can act either according to the fatwa or the Ihtiyat, and is not allowed to refer to another Mujtahid. An example of this is: Washing a najis dish in Kurr Water once makes the dish tahir, although the Ihtiyat is that it is washed three times.Ihtiyat Wajib does not accompany a fatwa, and the Muqallid must act according to that Ihtiyat, but he is also able to refer this rule to another Mujtahid (perform Ruju) to whom it is permissable to do taqlid to - for example:
The Ihtiyat is that one does not perform sajdah on the leaf of the grape tree.
