The Sufis’ inclusion in the seventy-three sects

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this Sufi sect included among the sects mentioned in the hadith, the seventy-three sects?

Answer:
Yes, they are included among the sects, but they differ; some have a great deal of misguidance, some have a little, and some vary in this regard. We do not issue a single ruling for all of them.
