Is it permissible to interpret a verse by mentioning only the exegetes without mentioning the narrators?
The interpretation of the Holy Qur’an is a great task that requires deep knowledge of the Qur’anic sciences, the Arabic language, the fundamentals of , and its objectives. There has been a warning against interpreting the Qur’an based on personal opinion for those who are not specialists. Indeed, whoever interprets the Qur’an by his own opinion has erred, even if he happens to be correct, because the matter was not approached through its proper gateway. As for relaying interpretations from the pious predecessors, there is no objection to it; in fact, it is preferable, provided that the authenticity of the نقل (transmission) is verified, statements are attributed to their speakers, and reliable sources are mentioned.
