>I am understanding it for myself and making my own viewpoints
With no knowledge
>I've argued with a scholar before, he was not even able to prove that weed is haram.
"Scholars"
>weed
The Noble Qur'aan 2:219
>They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning intoxicants and gambling. Say: "In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: "That which is beyond your needs." Thus Allah makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought."
Khumr is anything that intoxicates and marijuana is undeniably an intoxicant.
The Noble Qur'aan 5:90-91
>O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling, Al-Ansab, and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?
Sunan An-Nasai'
>It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said:
"Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is unlawful."
Saheeh Hadeeth.
>Because if it is, then so is caffeine and he was not ready to let go of his precious chai.
Caffeine is not an intoxicant. No one gets high with caffeine, and Allaah knows best.
>Do not follow scholars blindly, understand it for yourself.
Yea, you did this and it lead you believe in and follow your desires and deviation. Clearly no one believes anyone blindly except the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him), but you have no knowledge to "understand it" yourself, and your own statements make that clear.
>when I can make my own ijtihad
Technically, but you only deviate from the way of Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him), that's your choice, and remember, whoever you teach this method to and they go astray due to ignorance, you carry their sin and your sin.
>using the surah and hadeeths myself.
You have really been infected by the way of the ignorant kuffar and deviants in Islaam. You cannot teach yourself what you do not know. But this makes sense since you were probably raised in a Hanafi household. They are blind followers tot he extreme, the deoband and the sufees, and they love to tell stories.
>There is literally no reason to trust anyone if I cannot verify what they say with an actual source for myself.
Learn Arabic and study the deen according to the manhaj of the salafus saaleh. Any other method is astray from them.
>you go on and on about trusting scholars
Because these men are KNOWN for their scholarship. Also, they are the inheritors of the prophets
Jaami at Tirmidhi
>Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed Allah does not take away knowledge by removing it from the people, but He takes away knowledge by taking the scholars, until there remains no scholar and the people begin to ask the ignorant leaders, so they give their verdict without knowledge. They will go astray and lead the people astray."
Saheeh Hadeeth
Tirmidhi
>Narrated Abu Umamah Al-Bahili:
"Two men were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). One of them a worshiper, and the other a scholar. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the least of you.' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Indeed Allah, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths - even the ant in his hole, even the fish - say Salat upon the one who teaches the people to do good.'"
Hasan hadeeth
Ibn Maja
>Amr bin Shu'aib narrated that:
His father said: "Mu'awiyah stood up to deliver a sermon and said: 'Where are your scholars? Where are your scholars? For I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The Hour will not begin until a group of my Ummah will prevail over the people, and they will not care who lets them down and who supports them."
Saheeh Hadeeth
Bukhaaree
>Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious scholars) ignorance (in religion) and afflictions will appear; and Harj will increase." It was asked, "What is Harj, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He replied by beckoning with his hand indicating "killing." (Fath-al-Bari Page 192, Vol. 1)
Tirmidhi
>Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The world, with all that it contains, is accursed except for the remembrance of Allah that which pleases Allah; and the religious scholars and seekers of knowledge."
