We sure do.. Many Scholars through the past years have been inventing new rulings out of no where. Unfortunately we cannot deny the fact that they ARE scholars, But that does not give them the right to mislead others that way.
The Last of real Scholars who can be called Islamic Scientists were Ibn-Baz and Ibn-Uthaimeen May Allah Have Mercy on them. Yes there are others, But not as Ibn-Baz and Ibn-Uthaimeen.
The thing is that ignorance regarding islam is now spreading more and more each day as peaple are distancing away from Islam as a religion, and now even muslims misunderstand Islam.
This is all due to the lack of faith and the obsession about this life and its pleasures.
"Pleasures" doesnt necessarily mean just music or sex or whatever. But Pleasures are The Fitnah of Money, Wife(s), Children, Career or Work, Hobbies and everything that is life related. And as life is becoming tougher each day, People get driven by it away from faith.
Thats just my point of view and thats how i look at it..
And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sâbirun (the patient) (155) Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." (156) They are those on whom are the Salawât (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones. (157)(Surat Al-Baqara 2)
And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allâh is a mighty reward. (28)(Surat Al-Anfal 8)
Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, (it is) as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers — good-doers), And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment. (20) Race with one another in hastening towards forgiveness from your Lord (Allâh), and Paradise the width whereof is as the width of the heaven and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allâh and His Messengers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He is pleased with. And Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty. (21) No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allâh. (22) In order that you may not grieve at the things that you fail to get, nor rejoice over that which has been given to you. And Allâh likes not prideful boasters. (23)(Surat Al-Hadid 57)
