By the way, Ibn Abideen was not a Mujtahid, so are you saying it is wrong to call him a scholar?

Rather, it seems to imply that (almost) every scholar is a Mujtahid, which is the background of the whole Salafi methodology, i.e. thinking of being able to derive rulings directly from Qur'an and Sunnah and thus "weight" which proof is "stronger" than which, even if one is not a proper Mujtahid mutlaq as this had been traditionally defined.
