Questioning masaail of Deen

Q: How do you explain to someone that certain things in Islam should not be questioned because he says that things don't make sense to him and certain Ulama are not helpful with questions that he has, although he won't say exactly what these questions are.

A: It is not prudent to explain reasons of various masaail to any person. Just as a child in grade 1 cannot be explained grade 12 work, similarly, a person who has not thoroughly studied the various sciences of deen should not be explained aspects of deen which are beyond his understanding. 

It is unfair for the person who has not acquired the in-dept knowledge of the various branches of deen to raise objections regarding any branch of deen and say that it does not make sense to him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
