Dear respected Shaykh, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. What does a common Muslim do regarding a matter in which the scholars have differed, and it is difficult for him to choose the preponderant opinion? For example, if Shaykh ibn Baz chose an opinion and supported it with his proofs, and on the other hand Shaykh al-Albaani chose the opposite opinion and also supported it with his proofs, should a person choose the most cautious opinion or the easiest one?
