وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره
As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.
فَسَّرَهُ — they interpret it. The 'fa-' delivers the result of the whole condition: 'then he may interpret it.' The doubled-middle shape means to explain thoroughly, and the '-hu' is the object 'it,' the Book. This verb closes the 'whoever is qualified... interprets' frame.
