Question
Hello, A person who regularly consults with a Haredi spiritual figure on various issues, who is about 15 years older. If the figure gives advice that seems incorrect, such as to be lenient in something, eat less strictly kosher food, or other leniencies, how should the listener act at the time of hearing? Should he agree and say he agrees? Or rebuke and say you are wrong, it is not right to act this way? Or perhaps say "I hear"?
Answer
Hello
Even if you do not agree with every piece of advice and instruction, you must respect the advisor.
If you rebuke the advisor and tell him he is wrong, why are you consulting with him?...
