Listen to an excellent lecture by Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) where he addresses this very issue of blind-following any scholar, no matter who he may be.
This audio has been digitally remastered to remove a lot of its excessive background noise, walhamdulillah.
NOTE: The following question was asked to Ustadh Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala):
“Why do the Salafīs say that it’s impermissible to blindly follow the Great Imāms such as Abu Hanīfah, Mālik, Ash-Shāfi’ī and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, yet they blindly follow the scholars such as Ibn Bāz, Ibn Uthaymīn, Al-Albānī, etc?”
