Question:
And this person asks: What is the validity of the statement by some that we act on what we agree upon, and excuse one another in what we differ on?
Answer:
This is what they call the golden principle. The people of desires call this statement the golden principle, so that everyone remains on his own opinion and does not return to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but rather returns to what we have agreed upon.
And in what we differ on, everyone remains as he is and excuses one another. No, this is not permissible; rather, it is obligatory for us to return what we differ on to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)[An-Nisa 4:59]. Yes.

And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.
فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا
