I say, and with God's success: We need to understand the Quran and the Sunnah in our worship and other matters. If we do not adhere to the sayings of the jurisprudential schools that have established solid principles for interpreting the texts of the Quran and the Sunnah, we will understand them without rules and foundations, relying instead on whims. Therefore, Ibn Uyaynah said: "Hadith is misleading except for the scholars"; because they rely on principles and foundations in their understanding. This is the meaning of His saying: {So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know}. This is a command from God Almighty to refer to the scholars for understanding the texts, not to our whims. And He said: {And if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, they would have known it by its means}[An-Nisa: 83]. This is a clarification of the necessity of referring to the scholars so they can derive the rulings for us, and God knows best.
