Do not belittle the education of scholars. They have dedicated their lives to learning this religion and yet they have not reached perfection. Studying Islam is incumbant on every man woman and child who is a Muslim, and that is good for them.
Once you have studied from a scholar and he has given you permission you can move up and start having your own opinions and your own mathhaab. Can you imagine if every muslim who studied for one year came back with their own fatwahs? This wouldn't be called Islaam anymore, it would be called Ismaelisim or Christianity or Judaism. Might as well call it a "free for all".
If (big if here) your own personal opinions are good enough for yourself that is fine. But they are not good enough for the general public. And to go seeking for a scholar that has a similar opinion is surely a sign of the signs of the last days: the knowledge of Islaam is being lifted. To believe that your opinion is the correct opinion is thinking a little too highly of yourself. It is as if you are putting yourself at the level of the Companions of the Prophet
, or the Tabi'een, or the rightous scholars who followed in their footsteps.
We all have a great deal to learn about this religion, and Alhamdulilaah Islaam does not need more opinions than it already has; being the religion with the maximum number of misconceptions by a long shot.
