Sayyidi wa sanadi Shaikh Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani (Allah preserve him and allow us to benefit from him with ‘afiyet, Amin) instructed a mojaz (having the permission to initiate),

‘Never try to adopt the demeanor of those who consider themselves to be leaders (therefore, deserving special services) or that of the prevalent spiritual guides (pir) or (tolerate the extremist attitude of) their disciples. In fact, consider this to be a deadly poison.’
