2) If the actions of the people of Madinah are against the book (Quran) and Sunnah then they are not proof.
3) Malik Ibn Abu Amir al-Asbahi al-Madani (a major tabi’i) said, “I recognise nothing nowadays of what I saw the people (i.e. the companions of the Messenger, (Sallalahu Alayhi Was-Sallam) doing (in accordance to the book [Qur’an] and Sunnah) except the call to prayer.” (Muwatta Imam Malik Yahya’s narration (1/72) hadith (no.152) [and its chain is authentic])
4) Wearing a wig is prohibited.
5) It is an obligatory responsibility of the scholars to command the good and forbid the evil.
