From amongst the rules (applied) in forming the (Permanent) Committee was the importance attached to the majority view (of the Committee), and no doubt this gives each fatwa an element of knowledge-based strength, for certainly exchanging views simplifies (the task of) arriving at that which is correct.

The Noble Shaykh 'Abdul 'Azeez Ibn Baaz has assisted in this issue from his (vast) knowledge of hadeeth. Likewise, as has Shakyh 'Abdur-Razzaaq Ibn 'Afeefee's (vast) knowledge of the various groups and differences in 'aqeedah that we have today, added an element of knowledge-based strength to each fatwa.
