Id love to see this app expand and grow

### 1/5 — Non reliable scholars

*2024-06-01, version 6.5.0*

The scholars differ from each other in their answers. Sometimes the scholar’s answer against the ayatollah’s too, and sometime’s it different from his representative as well. Someone in the app has said that they represent ayatollah sistani in Qatar but his answers are different and opposite of ayatollah’s answers or the answers of ayatollah’s representative in usa
