Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the later Sufis said to have some shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
We do not pass judgment on anyone except based on what is established about them. We do not say that the later Sufis have shirk in general, no, it is necessary to distinguish in this matter.
