Exegesis of the Qur'an through independent legal reasoning after consulting the exegeses of the Salaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible to interpret the Qur'an through one's own independent legal reasoning after having consulted the interpretations of the Companions and the Successors (may Allah be pleased with them)?
The Shaykh:
There is no independent legal reasoning in exegesis; exegesis is only to be done based on what is established from the firmly grounded scholars. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
