[quote][quote]It is not the matter of right or wrong it is that who is qualified to to extract the matters of shariah from the main sources.Some times there is no clear instrutions in the main sources for even a scholar to decide any matter.Please also see the following I have copied it from an article.

This obvious duty was well-known to the early Muslims: the Caliph Umar (r.a.) followed certain rulings of Abu Bakr (r.a.), saying I would be ashamed before God to differ from the view of Abu Bakr. And Ibn Masud (r.a.), in turn, despite being a mujtahid in the fullest sense, used in certain issues to follow Umar (r.a.). According to al-Shabi: Six of the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) used to give fatwas to the people: Ibn Masud, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Ali, Zayd ibn Thabit, Ubayy ibn Kab, and Abu Musa (al-Ashari). And out of these, three would abandon their own judgements in favour of the judgements of three others: Abdallah (ibn Masud) would abandon his own judgement for the judgement of Umar, Abu Musa would abandon his own judgement for the judgement of Ali, and Zayd would abandon his own judgement for the judgement of Ubayy ibn Kab.[/quote]
Let me conclude it as:If there is no clear cut instruction in the main sources then we should welcome others opinion given on the same issue and if required one should abandon his own point of view and follow other's .
In other words ,the lesson from the text you quoted  here is that we should respect other's views .we should be ready not only to accept but also to follow.
And the last but not least is to honour other's opinions instead of humiliating them declaring "deviant"or "anti islamic" only because our opinion is not matching to others.[/quote]
