What is the ruling on transmitting a fatwa that I am internally certain is forbidden, but later I found that it has details and may be permissible in certain situations? For example, stating that conversing with a non-mahram is forbidden (referring to the view of Sayyid Khamenei).

Peace be upon you. According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him): If someone transmits something that contradicts the ruling of the jurist, it is obligatory (preferably) for him to inform those who heard it, if his transmission affects the listener's adherence to their religious duty; otherwise, there is no obligation to inform them.

According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him): If someone makes a mistake in transmitting a matter and then realizes it, he must correct the mistake if possible. In any case, the listener is not permitted to act based on the transmission unless they are assured of its correctness.
