Advice for those who abandon asking the people of knowledge and worship Allah in ignorance

Question:
Like these people who abandon asking the people of knowledge and disdain asking about legal matters in their religious affairs, perhaps you are directing some people

Answer:
This has two cases. The first case is that he is ignorant and is lazy about asking. The second case is that he is a pretender who thinks he has knowledge and that he does not need the scholars, and he relies on himself and his understanding. Both groups are mistaken and negligent in their religion. So the ignorant person must ask the people of knowledge. Allah the Exalted said: in two places in the Qur'an, in Surat al-Nahl and in Surat al-Anbiya: "So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know." Asking is obligatory regarding matters of religion so that he does not remain in ignorance and worship Allah in ignorance and misguidance. What is the method of the misguided Christians, for they worship Allah in ignorance and misguidance? And we, praise be to Allah, Allah has removed ignorance from us by the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), the revelation of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and the presence of scholars after the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
