Then why didn't Quinn take the shot, as ordered?

Because he felt bad?

Hence the meeting with Estes.

I see it like this: He's a professional killer. Professional killers don't "feel bad" when they kill people. Brody was a terrorist and earlier in the season, he stabbed a knife through his hand for "effect". Now suddenly, we're supposed to believe that Quinn has a conscience because he saw Brody praying to Allah? If anything, that scene and the results seem to indicate that Quinn was on Abu Nazir's side, at least from my perspective.

I think the meeting with Estes happened so that he'd release Saul, who in turn would make sure that Abu Nazir's burial rites were performed correctly.
