The questioner:
He says: We want to follow the path of the people of the Sunnah and the community, but some of them may err. He asks how we are to know.
The Shaykh:
By Allah, regarding this Tablighi group, those who went with them and studied them have written extensively about them, detailing the errors they have. So you should read what has been written about them, and the ruling on this will become clear to you. As we mentioned from the beginning, praise be to Allah, He has made us independent of following so-and-so. We have the path of the people of the Sunnah and the community, which we adhere to, and we have no need of Tabligh or anything other than Tabligh. We do not need it.
As for their reality, many accounts have been written about them. Look into them and become acquainted with them. Those who wrote about them are among those who went with them, traveled with them, and mingled with them; they wrote about them with knowledge and with evidence. Yes. Whoever opposes the people of the Sunnah and the community falls into both [categories], and he will have of the sin and punishment according to the extent of his opposition.
The questioner:
And so it is. Yes.
