Do not be misled by the actions of the people

Reference: al-Qowl al-Mufeed Sharh Kitaab at-Tawheed v1 p204

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

Do not be misled by the actions of the people, because the actions of the people could be based upon [their] ignorance.

So the lesson [for us] is [to act] in accordance with what the Sharee’ah has legislated, and not with the actions of the people.
