Do you have an experience of this or has this been done to you? can you shed any lights as to what made you ask this question?

Jazak-Allah
Was-salâmu 'alaykum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakatuhu`

There are two completely different aspects:

1) The 'ulama stance to questions etc.
2) The laymen/muridin/followers of the 'ulama

Some of the first aspect I tried to point out in an older thread, until people misunderstood my point and went off on different tangents.

Here, want to discuss the second aspect. That of the laymen. That of those who say "If so-and-so Sheikh has said "ABC" then undoubtedly it cannot be wrong, he is right even though other 'ulama have pointed out the error and is clearly and without doubt an error in the mirror of the Shari'ah.

This sheep-like blind following has caused more issues then we can imagine. This has raised 'ulama to a rank which Allah and his Rasul

have not granted them but the laymen have!
