The Sufis in our country hold gatherings on the occasion of the Mawlid, and some da'is attend and make supplications for the Sufi shaykhs

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the Sufi orders, especially the Tijaniyyah in our country, hold gatherings and seminars during these days on the occasion of the Mawlid. Some da'is come to them, attend with them, and at the end of the conference they make supplications for the health and well-being of the Sufi shaykhs who organized this conference, and other such supplications. What is the ruling on such an action and on the attendance of these da'is?

Answer:
This is agreeing with them and praising them. It is not permissible, unless from the very beginning of your attendance you rebuke them and make it clear to them that this is not permissible, and that this thing is not established and not correct. You call them to Allah; if they accept, fine, but if not, leave them and abandon them. Do not sit with them, agree with them, eat dinner with them, or be at ease with them. You say, "This is a da'wah," but it is not this kind of da'wah. Yes.
