In fact this leads to the VERY IMPORTANT question:

How do laymen decide when muftis give conflicting answers?

Answer: Apply your taqwa and choose the one closest to the truth. If not possible, apply precaution and stick to the "safer" fatwa... Better to get burnt in this world than to get burnt in the akhirat!

Question. How do you do this without falling into the trap of your desires? Here, the layman is faced with two conflicting fatwas. How shall he reconcile between the two?

Do you believe a layman is responsible for the fatwa he follows in matters of Furoo'? That would be quite extreme...
