The ruling on a layperson mentioning what he understood from reflecting on the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a layperson reflects on the Qur'an and a benefit becomes apparent to him, does he mention it to others, or is that considered speaking about the Qur'an without knowledge?
Answer:
If he is one of the qualified scholars, he may mention that the verse indicates such and such. But if he is a layperson, he benefits according to what Allah has guided him to, and he does not tell people this, because he is not a scholar and may be mistaken. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
