Following Jurists

Ibn Taymiyah said:

ومن ظن أنه يعرف الأحكام من الكتاب والسنة بدون معرفتها بما قال هؤلاء الأئمة وأمثالهم فهو غالط مخطىء
‘𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗿’𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗵, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻.’

[‘Mukhtasar Fatawa al-Misriyah’, 2/20].

This is very important, because everybody claims to follow the Qur’an & Sunnah…
The Qur’an & Sunnah according to whose understanding?
You often hear: ‘But I’m quoting a Sahih Hadith!!’
The issue is rarely with the evidences.
The issue is often with how the evidence is understood, interpreted and used.
Often the Daleel is correct, but the Istidlaal is incorrect…

فليس كل دليل صحيح يكون الاستدلال به صحيحاً
