Dealing with Deeni Differences

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

Our elders were very firm on what they believed to be the truth. They would clearly explain their stance and not shift from it in the least, even if a senior held the opposing view. This was also the way of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum). However, they did not attack the personality of the one who held the opposing view by labeling him or using derogatory titles etc.
