Abu Muhammed's words: You speaking like a true Ghair Muqallid.
There are plenty of articles in the Taqleed and True Salaf sections. Please read them before making such comments.[/quote]
This was quite annoying. I asked a question. And I mean just a simple question.
The question was directed to user Black Turban so you should have let him answer before making such comments.

Black Turban's words: Sister, perhaps I couldn't make my point clear. I'm extremely sorry for that.
It's okay. And don't be sorry.

Black Turban's words: I meant none of us (layperson) should try to educate ourselves. We need guidance of qualified teacher. Because how can we distinguish between Haqq and Baatil? Sunnah and Bida'h? How can someone know that a certain book contains no error? Is Aqeedah of the author correct or erroneous?
If we assume that a certain book is correct in all aspects eg. Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi etc, still self study is dangerous. Because every Hadith has a specific meaning. If a person doesn't study Hadith under guidance of a teacher, then he/she will mess everything up. The science of Tafseer, Hadith and Fiqh is very sensitive. Therefore, we should be extremely cautious. Like anatomy/genetics/quantum mechanics/machine design, Islamic sciences also depend on teachers to learn.
