I am an active member of stackoverflow and some other programmers related communities here. And they all are very good and working great. They are like must have for IT professionals.

But coming to religious matters, how is it good to let all kind of people answer the questions which must be answered by proper muftis, when we don't know the person answering is even a muslim?? Or he is trying to inject some wrong beliefs in islam? A perosn without any proper knowledge cannot give fatawa. So, how is this forum authentic and how is it not going to be disastrous as some people like me might give wrong opinions(which they thing are true) as they are not muftis and they are not supposed to give such statements and tell what islam says about something when they don't have knowledge of it? And as lack of muftis here and no mechanism for answers to be checked by muftis, how can soemone trust my answer?

A solution might be to have authenticated muftis on site, or a previlige like moderators a new previlige of MUFTI which will be awarded to only those who are actually mufti and they are able to prove it. They can mark any answer as approved by mufti, or their answers will be marked indicating they are mufti and their answers are more authentic.
Or anything like that to counter the fear i mentioned above.
