Does legalizing some of what Allah has forbidden fall under taking priests and monks as lords besides Allah?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: We hear, from time to time on social media, people who legalize some of what Allah has forbidden, and some people follow them. Does this fall under His saying, the Exalted:[At-Tawbah 9:31]?
Answer:
Yes, it falls under it, and even more so. What is broadcast, and what is attributed to scholars, may actually be the words of those who dabble in knowledge and those who pretend to be scholars. Therefore, nothing is accepted on websites or elsewhere except what is supported by valid evidence and established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
