The Ruling on Belonging to the Tabligh Group and Other Groups

The questioner:
I reside in this blessed land, and in our country, the call of the Tabligh Group is widespread, and the number of people affiliated with this group is very large. However, in their call to people, they do not condemn those who fall into some forms of shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as istighathah (calling for aid) and others. This is their reality. My question is: Is the call of this group, as I have described to you, the same in every place? And is it permissible for a Muslim to affiliate with this group?

The Shaykh:
You say that they do not care about tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and do not denounce those who commit shirk (associating partners with Allah). If their companionship is not a call, then it is not the call of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The call of the Messenger is that he denounces shirk and denounces bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters. So what remains if they do not denounce bid'ah and do not denounce shirk? What remains? What do they do? What do they call people to? This is not correct. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He also asks about the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Shaykh:
I told you that I am not with such a group or such a group. I say: the group of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), those who follow the way of the Messenger, what those who follow this hadith, follow them; those who contradict this hadith, leave them. This is a rule that will put your minds at ease. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
