Hawzah News Agency – Imam Sajjad peace be upon him says:
حَقُّ المُستَشيرِ إنْ عَلِمتَ أنَّ لَهُ رَأياً أشَرتَ علَيهِ، وإن لَم تَعلَمْ أرشَدتَهُ إلى مَن يَعلَمُ.
‘The right of the one who seeks your counsel is that you point him in the right direction if you know that he is inclined towards a certain opinion, and if you do not know [which way to point out], then you must guide him to someone who does.’
