Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You should follow your shuyukh and keep what they do as a sunnah, and know they have good reasons for what they do that may be not be known to common scholars, but are known to awliyaullah. And this applies in general to many of the practices they do.
And Allah knows best,
