What is the validity of the statement by some that tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis) does not require study, and that reading and reviewing books of tafsir is sufficient?

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some students of knowledge say that tafsir is a subject that does not require study, and that reading and reviewing tafsirs is sufficient. What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
This is incorrect, this is incorrect. It is necessary to study tafsir under a scholar from among the scholars specialized in tafsir so that he clarifies and explains it, because some tafsirs may contain errors and mistakes in 'aqidah (creed). Therefore, it is necessary to study tafsir under a scholar from among the scholars specialized in tafsir, and reading alone is not sufficient. Yes.
