That is actually not ISLAMIC way of doing things
*
…we as Muslims must realise that understand the Fiqh (Legal Ruling) of any matter is not as simple as quoting a Qur’anic verse or pointing to a Hadeeth. In fact, the Companions, and definitely the two generations following them (Tabi’een and Tabi’ Tabi’een) refrained from quoting from the Sunnah or the Qur’an without proper analysis of many many issues, e.g., linguistic proofs, context of revelation as well as a narration of the Prophet (upon whom be peace and blessings of Allah), absolute and qualified narrations, universality and particularity of verses and narrations, etc. These are deeply developed sciences. The points below are the summaries of rulings based on such a thorough understanding of the Shari’ah, rather than those who simply claim to quote a verse or a Hadith as proof…*
Although it is possible to get snippets of information from Hadiths such as learning about Sunnah, and it is also the way of Mujtahids to derive rulings, the layman has no part to play unless he wants to misguide and be misguided
For example the way of those following directly Quran and Hadith contradicts the way of the Community. What are we to choose at this junction?
Do we leave the community and join the independents? But there is no such thing as join ‘independents’ as they are exactly that, so are we to become independent!?
He who leaves the community and stands alone is dinner for the Shaitan
The proof that shaitan has devoured those claiming ‘‘Quran and Sunnah’’ ‘‘Quran and Sunnah’’ is that like you, they are active in making at cut off point from the Community. Like to send people down the road of ‘hadiths’ before the people have even realized how to stand up. If leaving the rulings of the community then nobody is actually allowed to follow rulings. meaning everyone is obligated to makeup their own rulings which is fitnah
This is also Shirk (al-asghar) in the motivation to leave the community
