A popular answer style on this site is "here's a fatwa", and these are often sourced from Islam Q&A , probably due to availability probably more than anything else. If I read any given fatwa, I wouldn't expect the author's authority to be recognized by all Muslims. For example, a Hanafi fatwa would (presumably) only speak for those belonging to the Hanafi madhhab, and maybe only the scholars within this madhhab. I'm wondering who Islam Q&A fatawa speak for. **Question**: Who does a typical Islam Q&A fatwa speak for? As I understand things, Islam Q&A is a Salafi fatwa site, so presumably it speaks only for Salafi Muslims or Salafi scholars.
