While there are those among Islamic scholars who accept talfiq without any reservations, most argue that this method may only be legitimate under certain conditions. These conditions include not opposing ijmah (consensus [on religious affairs]) and not disabling the principles and objectives of shariah or judicial decisions. Those who oppose this concept have some hesitations. These include the efforts of the relevant person to turn talfiq into a tool for achieving provisions that create less liability. Although there are different views on it, talfiq has been a method that is occasionally utilized in solving problem
