Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
“It is incumbent upon the Muslim not to be a person without character, a person following every other individual; instead, he should form his character based upon what is required by the Law of Allaah, the Most High, so that he be one who is followed, not a follower, and so that he may be an example for others, not one who follows others’ examples.”
[Fataawaa Arkaan Al-Islaam, 1/265]
