Question:
May Allah preserve the Shaykh. You have benefited from some of [the previous discussion]. In our country, there are scattered groups such as the Sufis and others. There is also a group that calls to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and rejects bid'ah (religious innovations). However, some groups have split from this group on the grounds that it shares power with the current government, and on the grounds that its members study in different universities. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh? Should I learn with them and affiliate with them, or is this a form of factionalism?
Answer:
This splitting is not permissible. You must stick to the original congregation, which is the callers to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the correct creed. Be with them and leave these splitters.
