Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on joining different groups whose origins we do not know?
Answer:
It is not permissible to join groups or sects. The believers are one community[Al-Hujurat 49:10] Therefore, it is not permissible to be partisan in Islam, nor to belong to any group other than the community of Muslims. One should be with them and follow them, and not join a group that departs from the community of Muslims. This is especially so in this time when partisanship, affiliations, and division have become widespread. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: [Ali 'Imran 3:103]
