Dividing the Sufis into praiseworthy and blameworthy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: The call to Sufism has become active in these days, to the extent that some of those who call themselves callers have divided the Sufis into praiseworthy Sufis and blameworthy Sufis. Is this division correct?
Answer:
This division is invalid. All Sufis are blameworthy, and there is no praiseworthy Sufism, because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and every bid'ah is misguidance. Yes.
