The questioner: What is your view of one who interprets the Qur'an without knowledge, and when he is advised, he says, "Allah has given us minds"?

If you interpret the words of Allah with your mind, the words of Allah are not interpreted except by the recognized methods of tafsir: interpreting the Qur'an with the Qur'an, or interpreting the Qur'an with the Sunnah, or interpreting the Qur'an with the statements of the Tabi'un, or interpreting the Qur'an with the Arabic language in which it was revealed. Yes. He has no share in interpreting the Qur'an. Yes.
