A questioner from Germany asks about the Tabligh group present in Germany?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from the country of Germany. He says: The Tabligh group is very numerous among us in Germany, and they are the ones who most often engage in da'wah (calling others to Islam). So, should we follow them, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
I have said repeatedly that the path of da'wah (calling others to Islam) is clear, established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Imams of Islam have followed it from the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to this day. It is the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and forbidding shirk (associating partners with Allah), then the call to performing the obligatory duties and abandoning the forbidden, and the call to adhering to the morals and etiquettes of Islam. So, whoever follows this methodology, his da'wah is valid and his methodology is sound. We do not look at his name being "Tablighi," nor do we look at his name; we look at his methodology. However, if he does not care about tawhid or 'aqidah (creed), or if he says that the call to tawhid divides the people, and that our concern is to gather the people, gathering them upon falsehood, this is not permissible. This is not da'wah. This is a misguidance, a misguided path, and an error. We do not follow him at all. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
