Because I value my time and see no value in circular arguments which you wish to have.
Backrgound:
This is the relevant text.
With that in mind, a common layman should find one MuftÄ« that he and his heart completely trusts, and always stick to asking him. To choose this MuftÄ« he should make sure that the MuftÄ« is well-researched enough to give him all the answers. Hence the suggestion is not to find someone who once completed his IftÄʾ course and gained the title of MuftÄ«, rather someone who has continued his research, and actively issues/answers fatÄwÄ. Once a person finds such a MuftÄ«, and his heart is content with him, then he should stop asking multiple MuftiyÄn, and stick to this particular MuftÄ«. This will make his life so much easier and the focus will be shifted towards fulfilling the rulings instead of researching them and trying to find out which Muftī’s opining seems stronger.
Now that we have so many avenues of different muftis, I recommend that if a person cannot just stick to one mufti all-together, then he should have a set group of MuftiyÄn for specific field. At first it may seem tedious, but remember that we are not making a huge database of MuftiyÄn. When an issue arises, one will simply review the listing to see which MuftÄ« to approach for that field. Thereafter handling the responses will become much easier.
If an individual can make such a list with only a single of his most relied Muftī, he makes his life very easy.
The Point:
No matter who you slice, dice it Mufti Faisal Saheb is clearly saying that a person should stick to a singular Mufti. If a person makes a list of:
- Mufti A for financial issues
- Mufti B for Halal/Haram ingredients
- Mufti C for Marital/Divorce issues
It is STILL a singular Mufti!
Which Mufti?
To choose this MuftÄ« he should make sure that the MuftÄ« is well-researched enough to give him all the answers.

Disgareement:
I have given an example which you cannot refute and you cannot counter.
- You cannot remove Mufti Zarwali Khan (HA) from the creiterion given
- You also cannot accept his strawberry Fatwa
Ipso facto you CANNOT follow a Mufti on every single issue and it may lead to problems.
Your mind accepts it but your heart cannot and you still want to argue about a point which you have mentally conceded. What for???
Whether you call it absurd opinion, isolated opnion, a list of Mufti A, B, C, D, E, F, G its the same point.
I have aloready given all of you the choice to say, "I respectfully disagree and in my opinion it is from Islam..." You came with the (wrong) analogy of Madhabs which I explained and then further directed you to read some more but you still want to argue.
Next stage is Mufti Faisal (himself) and I disagree with him (too)...
I have also said that Mufti Faisal can probably quote example x or example where scholars of a city referred to a singular scholar but that still DOES NOT make sticking to a singular Mufti the defacto rule.
P.S: We live in a democracy so if you wish to stick to a singular Mufti go right ahead but there is no argument to make here. That's why I am saying you won, I lost.
