500 questions [istifta'] could gather at a time

[Aqdas]

alaHazrat says that sometimes, so many questions are sent to him to seek fatawa that 500 istifta' may gather at a time.

 

[Aqdas]

one of the qualities of a mujaddid is that he be marja'ul 'ulama. the istifta' that alaHazrat received were from other 'ulama a lot of the time. i think it was 1061 out of 4095 fatawa that were from 'ulama.
