The Difference Between Memorizing the Qur'an and Using It as Evidence

Question:
Many of us memorize the Qur'an, but O our Shaykh, when we are asked to cite or use it as evidence for an issue, we do not find it. We ask you to clarify a method that would enable us to recall what we have memorized of His words?

Answer:
Memorization is one thing, and using it as evidence is another. Everyone memorizes the Qur'an, but using it as evidence requires knowledge and learning: knowing the rules, the criteria, and the principles of rulings. This requires study. It is not the case that if you memorize the Qur'an, you will automatically extract the rulings and jurisprudence from it, when you have not studied the criteria and principles by which you can deduce from the Qur'an. Yes.
