		In `Ben Ish Hai' I found certain discrepancies with the Shulhan Arukh [the Jewish code of law] and felt that it was the author of the Shulhan Arukh who was right.
		His son, Rabbi Yitzhak, says that one of the punishment he remembers receiving as a child was being sent to the local synagogue, where he was given a pile of books and assigned the task of correcting a single word in each one.
		This was the custom among all the Ashkenazi communities, and the author of Ben Ish Hai ruled in the same vein.

		Although the Shulhan Aruch expressly forbade it, even if men in that particular area do it, nevertheless the Ben Ish Chai gave testimony that this was the minhag among the men of Baghdad and he defended the minhag.
		The same logic used by Hacham Ovadia to allow men to gaze at mirrors, and the Ben Ish Hai to allow shaving body hair should apply to allow men to dye their hair in places where this is an acceptable norm, as is the case in most civilized countries today.
		The Rashba (Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet in his responsa 120) gives testimony that the Ramban who was also a doctor was paid to heal sterile gentile women, we see that he held that it is allowed to cure Divinely caused sickness.

	Daily HALACHA by Rabbi Eli Mansour - Sefirat HaOmer- Having A Meal Within 30 Minutes of Counting Sefirat Omer
		And the Ben Ish Hai explains that one is able to appoint a Shomer to tell him, ‘Please remind me when the time of Omer comes that I have to count.’ In that case he said, you could start within the half hour, because already you designated somebody to remind you.
		Therefore a lady cannot be a Shomeret, because she is not going to remind him, because it is not on her mind for herself, and therefore a lady can not be a Shomer even though she is not eating with you.
		But The Ben Ish Hai rules No. Even such a man has an obligation every night without a Beracha, since there are some opinions that say that each Mitzvah is a separate Mitzvah and so therefore you can still count every night.

	Hamelekh Hamishpat
		Although it doesn't answer the questions, perhaps the Ben Ish Hai considered an opinion cited in Ramah's glosses as authoritative as sufficient for invoking "safek berakhot lehakel".
		It is worthy of note that Rabbi Matloub Abady, a"h, a rabbi in Aleppo before emigrating to the United States, often stated that the Ben Ish Hai was not accepted as authoritative in Aleppo.
		Additionally, the works of the Ben Ish Hai and another great Baghdadian rabbi the Caf Hahaim, who also instructed not to repeat/return, became increasingly popular amongst laymen in the 50's.

	Table Talk - Vayakhel & Pekudei, 5764 - Torah.org
		The Ben Ish Hai zt'l points out that the word "nesa-oh" is translated as enthusiasm and that is the same meaning as the words "nedavah roo-ho".
		However, continues the Ben Ish Hai, when one is considered a purchase of one of his worldly desires he should reverse the process.
		One should keep in mind the lesson of the Ben Ish Hai zt'l,-- for Heaven - ABOVE - build up what you have so that when you give it seems small.

	Kabbala and Halacha
		Furthermore you propose a thesis that suggests a bias of Rav Ovadiah Yosef against the Ben Ish Hai in specific, and minhagim based upon Qabbala in general.
		Your reference to the siddur of Harav Shalom Messas is inconclusive as we generally do not decide Halakha based upon what is written in siddurim, as the laws found in siddurim are not necessarily presented for pesaq purposes.
		The Ari'zal and Ben Ish Hai were indeed remarkable scholars.
