The Opinion on the Book *Hayat al-Sahabah* (The Lives of the Companions)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is your opinion on the book *Hayat al-Sahabah*?
The Shaykh:
This is one of the books of the Tablighi group, who focus only on virtues, the virtues of deeds, and do not focus on 'aqidah (creed) and tawhid (the oneness of Allah). They focus only on the virtues of deeds; it is the methodology of the Sufis.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father, who is unable to perform 'Umrah, given that he has already performed 'Umrah?
The Shaykh:
They did not focus on the fact that the Companions struggled in the path of Allah, nor did they mention their jihad. They did not focus on the fact that the Companions learned tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and were sincere in their worship. They do not care about this; they only care about the virtues.
