The Ruling on the Tabligh Group and Going Out with Them

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion of the Tabligh group? And do you advise us to go out with them? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
I advise you to call people to Allah according to the Prophetic methodology. If you have knowledge and insight, call people to Allah according to the Prophetic methodology. As for the groups and sects that contradict the Prophetic methodology, beware of them and do not go out with them. Part of the Prophetic methodology is calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) as the first thing. Does the Tabligh group call to tawhid? We have not heard this, nor do we know it of them. Rather, they prevent the callers from tawhid. They say, "Do not mention tawhid; you are dividing the people." They say such things. What kind of group is this? What kind of call is this? Yes.

The questioner:
Now, here is a comment from some of the brothers saying that the Tabligh groups differ according to the countries in which they were established.

The Shaykh:
No, no, not at all. It is the Tabligh group, but they soften it in some places and display it in other places. It is not the Tabligh group. The criterion is its origin. Yes.
