A Reflection of Sunnah Dealing with Divergent Opinions

The Sunnah does not teach us to be harsh toward those who disagree, particularly on issues where scholars have differing interpretations.

When we look into the life of the Prophet s.a.w., we find several guiding principles in dealing with differences of opinion:

First: Be open-hearted when differences arise.

Second: Uphold the Sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w. when faced with differing opinions.
