Is it permissible to attribute the prohibition of begging and of issuing fatwas without knowledge to Almighty God, based on the prohibition by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the scholars' classification of these as major sins?

The Prophetic is a revelation from Allah. Therefore, what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade is considered a prohibition from Allah. As for attributing the sayings of scholars to the ruling of Allah, this is not permissible unless they are based on clear texts. It is not correct to describe (independent reasoning) and opinions as the ruling of Allah. Speaking about Allah without knowledge is one of the gravest sins, and all divine laws have absolutely forbidden it.
