Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I know some people who were negligent in obeying Allah the Exalted, and they went out with the Tablighi Jama'ah, and Allah benefited through them, until this person became committed and began seeking knowledge. Is it just to criticize this group?
Answer:
Yes, this group is Sufi; its origin is Sufi from Pakistan. In fact, they are grave worshippers, because they are from Deoband, and most of the Deobandis are grave worshippers. So it is a group that is not safe, and you should not keep their company. You should stick to the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the group of the people of tawhid in this blessed land, praise be to Allah. Do not look toward the groups that come from here or there, or the methodologies that arrive from here or there.
We are upon the methodology of the Book and the Sunnah, praise be to Allah. It is obligatory that they benefit from us, not that we benefit from them. We do not have, praise be to Allah, a wrong methodology. Our methodology is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the correct creed based on the Book and the Sunnah, and the correct call. So it is obligatory that they benefit from it, not that we benefit from them. Yes.
