Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some teachers, when a student recites the Qur'an to them, stop him at certain verses and ask, "What is the interpretation of this verse?" If the student does not know it, the teacher says, "Use your own independent legal reasoning and interpret it for me." He asks: Is this permissible?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Just as he teaches him the recitation, he must teach him the correct interpretation and ask him about it. As for what he has not taught him the correct interpretation of, and he is the one who uses his own independent legal reasoning, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. So this teacher is mistaken. He must be pointed out to this. Yes.

Whoever speaks about the Qur'an based on his own opinion and without knowledge, let him take his seat from the Fire.
