“Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah narrated from the Prophet SalAllahu 'Alaihi wa-sallam, that he said: “Whoever issues a verdict without knowledge, then the sin will be on the one who issues the verdict.” In al-Bukhari and Muslim, it is narrated in the Hadeeth of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas, from the Prophet, SalAllahu 'Alaihi wa-sallam, “Verily, Allah does not take knowledge by removing it from the breasts of men, rather he takes knowledge by taking the scholars (in death); until when no scholar remains, people take the ignorant as their leaders, and ask them questions, while they pass verdicts without knowledge, and become astray and lead others astray.”

Is this not the modern day fitnah, where the layman considers himself a Scholar.
