Is it correct to divide tafsir into tafsir by transmitted reports, tafsir by opinion, thematic tafsir, and miraculous tafsir?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the division of the science of tafsir into tafsir by transmitted reports, tafsir by opinion, thematic tafsir, and miraculous tafsir a correct division?

The Shaykh:
The Qur'an is not interpreted by opinion. Whoever speaks about the Qur'an based on his opinion and what he does not know, let him take his place in the Fire. The Qur'an is not interpreted by opinion. It is the word of Allah; do not interpret it with your opinion, because your opinion is subject to error, and you would be saying about Allah what you do not know. It is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an except by the known methods of interpretation among the mufassirun (commentators). Look into the principles of tafsir in the books written on the principles of tafsir. There are rules for tafsir; it is not something to be treated carelessly. Tafsir has rules, it has guidelines, and it has principles. This is recorded in the principles of tafsir and mentioned in the introductions of the recognized tafsirs, such as the tafsir of Ibn Jarir and the tafsir of Ibn Kathir. Look in their introductions at how the Qur'an is interpreted. So, the Qur'an is never interpreted by opinion. And it is not interpreted by what?

The questioner:
Thematic and miraculous.

The Shaykh:
Thematic is an easy matter. Thematic means they gather the verses that have a common meaning and interpret them. This is easy. This is thematic: they gather the verses that are on one subject and interpret them. This is an easy matter, and tafsir

The questioner:
Miraculous.

The Shaykh:
Miraculous is from speaking by opinion; it is from interpreting by opinion. It is not permissible for us to interpret the word of Allah with modern theories and modern discoveries. But we say: perhaps this is among the meanings of the verse, without being certain. Yes.
