the recommendations are merely in an advisory mode.

PM you would know this - there is no complusion in religion, you are absolutely free to do as you please, yes there are guidelines some recommended and some strongly recommended. No one can force anyone to follow Islam! or their "brand" of Islam, except as per by the Holy Quraan and the authentic Haadith of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

Part of the Dawaah is also to Insha Allah be able to share your knowledge and guide others.
