Relying on the Book and the Sunnah without taking from the scholars

Question:
The questioner says: What is your opinion of the one who says that he takes his knowledge only from the Book and the Sunnah, and does not take from the scholars, arguing that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has completed and perfected the religion?

Answer:
Glory be to Allah! The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded seeking knowledge from the people of knowledge. Allah the Exalted said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He did not say that one should sit in his house and read books. One must take the path, either by traveling or by sitting with the people of knowledge and the circles of dhikr. These are the paths of study and the paths of knowledge. It is not among the paths of knowledge to take a book, read it, and say, "This book is sufficient for me, and I have understood it," or the like. This is wrong. Yes, and this is not among the paths of seeking knowledge.
Yes, this is what you have innovated. It is not among the paths of seeking knowledge. You read the book with the scholars, who interpret it for you and clarify it, clarifying what in it is authentic and what is not. Yes.
