Reliance on scholars takes a prominent place in Islām. From this is asking the qualified mufti concerning various matters of the religion. Because of the emphasis placed on relying and asking scholars, it is of great importance to know who is to be asked, what the questioner should abide by and, how a questions should be asked. One of the main books specifically written in answer to these question is the book Sifah al-Mufti wa al-Mustafti, authored by al-Qāḍī al-Muḥaddith Najm al-Dīn Aḥmad bin Hamdan al-Ḥanbalī.
