As Salam alaikum
I am not surprised that a shi'a would disagree with those from Ahl-Sunnah wa Jama'. They have been doing so since the time of the MOA, sallahu alaihi wa salam.
Let us note that the article posted is by a known scholar of ahadith, using ahadith as evidence. The refutations are being brought by what?... the same kind of dialogue that the people of kalam use.
So as was stated, do as you wish but do not sread YOUR logic and reasoning as having anything to do with deen.
Ali pointed out that if he used his logic he would wipe the bottoms of his socks for wudu rather than the tops but since the MOA wiped the tops that is what he did.
Regarding worship: If the MOA did it, we do it. If the MOA did not do it, we leave it. Why is this so hard?
Arrogance.
The same thing that got Iblees in trouble. He was commanded by Allah to perform an act of obedience/worship and he refused because HIS logic and reason did not agree with the command.
Who is the better slave? The one who listens and obeys or the one who argues over every order, debates every command, and demands an explanation for why the command must be carried out?
Any further discourse on my part will only be accepted if authentic narrations are used to support one's OPINION.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
