The questioner:
Thank you, my brother. We move on to Ali al-Sa'id from al-Kharj. Yes. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Please. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy. Hello, peace. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Shaykh Salih.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner:
Brother Salih, I have one of my shepherds, and I discovered that he is a Sufi. Is it permissible for him to continue working with me, or should I send him away? Shaykh, may Allah bless you?
The Shaykh:
What does he do? Does he do something reprehensible?
The questioner:
He does something reprehensible, meaning in the prayers, and he neglects the prayer for much of the time.
The Shaykh:
What happens? What does he do?
The questioner:
It happens, Shaykh. We discovered he was a Sufi, so we asked him, and he said, "I will not answer you about this matter." So we understood from the speech of the Sufis.
The Shaykh:
If he calls people to Sufism, or if he does actions that conflict with the conditions of prayer or the rulings of prayer, then you advise him and clarify it to him. Perhaps he is ignorant, so clarify it to him. If he does not accept, you terminate his contract and send him away. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
