Assalamaualaikum wrahamaatullahi wabarakatuah
When we read the Quran or any other text(Sahihain, Riyadh us Saliheen, etc) without sufficient understanding of them we go to the scholars and the 'a'immah. When we have a problem with the kitchen sink or with the central heating boiler we dont rationalise and try to fix it ourself because we may know how to read the instructions do we?? NO!!! we go to the pros and for a greater reason when it is the Deen of Allah(swt) the Deen of Islam we dont rationalise for squat, because when the muqallid(in terms of understanding of fiqh and usool) looks at the quran at home and starts reading and sees ayah in the quran because he wasnt taught it and taught the understanding behind he or she then applies a little ration, this results in us getting all the devienceies we hav in this ummah. Imam ul A'zam Imam ul Ahl-ul Sunnah, Imam Abu Hanifa (rh) and Imam Ul Ahl ul Madinah Imam ul Ahl ul Hadith Imam Malik bin Anas(rh) said, (paraphrased) 'Whoever studies from books, knows nothing', and one transmission of Imam Malik states, 'whoever studied from books he's sheikh was the shaitan'. Furthermore Allah(swt) says in the Quran, 'Have you seen those that make their Hawa their Ilah?' from this we can see that we should just rationalise but get prior understand from ulema and then speak....
