What about the issues which aren't mentioned(explicitly) in Qur'an and ahadith?

Although I have already covered this topic in previous posts but still, servants of marjas keep on bringing up this question of "how to get answers for issues not explicitly mentioned in Qur'an or ahadith?". The usual argument is that such issues can only be solved through ijtehad and thus one must do taqleed of a mujtahid. But are we even obliged to seek answers to such issues? What do ahadith say?

Nahjul Balagha

وقال عليه السلام: إن الله افترض عليكم الفرائض فلا تضيعوها، وحد لكم حدودا فلا تعتدوها، ونهاكم عن أشياء فلا تنتهكوها وسكت لكم عن أشياء ولم يدعها نسيانا فلا تتكلفوها

And said (Ali)(as): "Indeed Allah(swt) has ordained upon you people the obligatory acts so do not lose/waste them, and set limit for you people so do not cross them, and forbid from things so do not go against them and (Allah(swt)) remained silent for you people from some things and it was not due to forgetfulness/oversight so do not trouble yourself with them.
