In the name of God the compassionate, ever merciful
When a believer asks a consultant for an opinion about one’s self, for personal and privacy reasons it would be a good idea to seek trusted close friends or family members such as parents or siblings as a consultant.
In the case of the Prophets and Imams, it would have been inappropriate and unnecessary for them to consult anyone about their own self, unless the consultant was someone like themselves. However they did consult their trusted friends on the matters of the state, helping the public and similar matters.
Thank you for reading this.
