Does the student of knowledge begin with the principles of Qur'anic exegesis or with exegesis?

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Do you advise the student of knowledge to read the principles of Qur'anic exegesis before starting to read the meanings of the verses and the occasions of their revelation?

Answer:
Reading alone is not enough, my brother. You must learn from the scholars. You must read the books on the principles of Qur'anic exegesis, the principles of jurisprudence, hadith terminology, grammar, language, and jurisprudence. You must read under the guidance of scholars. Merely setting up a library with various disciplines and reading on your own is not acceptable. In fact, it is more harmful than beneficial; if there is any benefit, the harm is greater. Yes.
