Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to interpret the Qur'an by one's own understanding without referring to the exegeses, keeping it to oneself and not telling anyone?

It is permissible to interpret the Qur'an by one's opinion. One must refer to the reliable exegeses and take the interpretation from them. He takes the interpretation of the verses he wants from the reliable exegeses and does not interpret them on his own by his opinion. Yes.
