Imaam Maalik said:

كل يؤخذ من قوله و يرد إلا صاحب هذا القبر

رواه ابن عبد الهادي في إرشاد السالك: ١/٢٢٨

ابن عبد البر في الجامع ٢/٩١ و غيرهما

Everyone’s statement [can be] accepted or rejected except the inhabitant of this grave, [meaning our Messenger Muhammadﷺ].

‎“So aspire, O Muslim, to know your Islaam from your Lord’s Book and your Prophet’s Sunnah.

‎And don’t say, ‘So and so said.’

‎For verily, the Truth is not known by men—nay, know the Truth, you will recognise the men."

‎- Shaykh Al Albaani رحمه الله

‎[As-Saheehah, 5/350] [source]

The Noble Shaykh Dr. Ahmad Bāzmūl حفظه الله stated:

‎"The true Salafī, his intention is the truth and not having fanaticism for the desires or individuals."

‎The Noble Scholar Shaykh Al-Albānī رحمه الله stated:

‎"Just as none has the right to be worshipped besides Allāh, likewise, none has the right to be followed (unrestrictedly) except for the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم."

‎Aadil Mansoor:

‎The scholar isn’t to be given rights of others.

‎The scholar isn’t given rights of the Prophetﷺ

‎-in being obeyed unrestrictedly

‎-taking their statements without proof

‎-claiming them to be infallible.

‎Whether you claim it with your statement, situation, or actions.

Shaykh Ahmed Baazmool:

⚠️Some people say: “We go with the scholars wherever they go” and this is an error.

This is because, as the Salaf said, scholars are sometimes correct & sometimes incorrect.

The Truth is in the Revelation.

As for opinion, indeed it can be right or wrong.
