Joining the Tabligh Jama'ah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. There is a sect or group in our village that has come to us, called the Tabligh Jama'ah or the Jama'ah al-Ahbab. They take with them both the elderly and the young. Do you advise me to join them or not?

Answer:
I advise you to join the people of the sound methodology who call to the oneness of Allah, warn against shirk (associating partners with Allah), bid'ah (religious innovations), and newly invented matters, establish the prayer, pay the zakah, and believe in Allah and the Last Day. Stick to the people of the sound methodology, especially those who adhere to the correct creed and call to it, calling to it and explaining it. If the Tabligh Jama'ah calls to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and teaches tawhid to the people and forbids shirk, then that is a good thing. But if they do not, if they do not care about tawhid but rather prevent those who speak about tawhid, and do not allow those who speak about tawhid to walk with them, as we have heard or been informed about them, then do not walk with them, do not go to them. Yes.
