Is it permissible to rely on independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) in matters of jihad without consulting the scholars, citing the understanding of the current situation as justification?

Question:
Some people cite the words of the Shaykh al-Islam, in which he states that the one who issues rulings in matters of jihad is the one who is in the position of jihad. That is, the one who issues rulings in matters of jihad is the one who is in the position of jihad and knows the situation. The scholars say that these people issue rulings on matters outside the country while they do not know the situation. So we take the rulings of the ijtihad of those who are in the field. What is your opinion on that?

Answer:
Are those in the field scholars? The opinion of the scholars is taken in the field and outside the field. . So the opinion of the scholars is taken in any place, in the field and outside the field.
And are those in the field scholars, or just Muslims who are ignorant? What is the correct view on this matter?
Many young people cut out from the words of the scholars what suits them and leave what does not suit them. They take some words and cut them off from what comes before and after them and from the context, and they say, "So-and-so said such and such." My brother, the words of the scholars are taken in any place. If they are true scholars, their words are taken in jihad and in other matters. . Yes. Whether they are in the field or outside the field. But if they are ignorant, their words are not taken, neither in the field nor outside the field. Yes.
