Default Dealing with Salafis in the Masjid?


NOTE: This is not a salafi bashing thread

So i have had sisters approaching me a few times in the masjid telling me im doing something wrong... every time this has happened i went and actually checked what they were saying against a salafi fatwa website..and even according to the salafi scholars these sisters have been wrong

like for example...i was told that i should pray in the congregation because its more rewarding than praying alone....i checked this out and found

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

The multiplied reward which is attained by praying in congregation applies only to men, because they are the ones who are called to it in the sense of it being obligatory. Hence the wording of the hadeeth is: “(the reward) for a man praying in congregation is twenty-five times greater than (the reward) for his praying in his house or in the marketplace.”

Based on this, women do not attain this reward; indeed the scholars differed with regard to whether it is prescribed for women to pray in congregation separately from the men in their houses or in schools. Some of them said that it is Sunnah for them to pray in congregation; others said that it is permissible for them to pray in congregation; and some said that it is makrooh for them to pray in congregation then i was told i shouldn't go into sujood knees first because its how dogs pray (i knew the sister was mixing the hadith about camel and dog here but i didnt say anything)

i found:

The scholars have differed as to how one should go down in sujood, whether one should go hands first or knees first. According to the Hanafis, Shaafa’is and one opinion narrated from Ahmad, the person who is praying should go down on his knees first, then on his hands. Al-Tirmidhi thought that this was the opinion of the majority of scholars, and said in his Sunan (2/57): “This is how it is done according to the majority of scholars It does seem that the sisters are maybe not very learned but whatever they have learned they are trying to pass on as they genuinely feel it is the correct way and the only way to pray...i don't think they are just attacking me because im following a madhab etc...i think they don't actually understand the whole differences thing
I don't want to get into debates with people especially if i and they are not very knowledgeable as talking without knowledge only creates fitnah...so what would be the best way in dealing with these situations without causing offence or being rude...
