A: It is not advisable to adopt this type of a stance individually, independently of a guide, for a traveller without a guide is bound to end up in some problem, confusion and difficulty. The sensible thing is to hold on to the hand of the one who has seen the whole path, understands it well and then hold onto him firmly and move on. The advantage will be that the traveller himself feels very confident that I have held on to someone who knows the whole path and if the guide knows your commitment levels he can guide you accordingly.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
