no if a muslim trusts me alone without knowing me and what I am upon then yes that would not be reasonable.
Neither should I ask this of any person.
However, the scholars who declare what they are upon for the world to see and give fatwas based on the Quran and sunnah and understanding of the first 3 generations should be trusted. And one can easily find out through hadith and by studying very little in order to give them this capability.
laziness is no excuse.
Furthermore, the rhetoric you discuss is very different to citing the words of known and famous scholars who have proven themselves to follow only reliable Islamic sources. And remember that knowledge mandates actions PM>
So without action then one has no claim to knowledge!
And I do think it is a great crime to cite the opinion of scholars without explaining the social implications and islamic regulations regarding it. For instance, masterbation is well known to be haram due to an authentic hadith of the prophet. And is an " eating pork if your starving" type of relief if one has tried all the other methods of prevention and finds himself in an unhealthy situation where he is with a girl and about to have sex with her yet masterbates instead. Providing this is a situation that he does not regularly get into and he tries his utmost in avoiding being alone with a women and lust of the eyes of women (which is also haram).
Insinuating it lesser then being haram and not letting people know the extent of its permissibilty is a very grave error on any muslims part when passing knowledge and it is important that we let people know the conditions which surround the matter rather than making blanket statements.
