A Scholar’s Visit to the Sufis at Their Shrines to Deliver a Word
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for scholars to visit the Sufis at their shrines and deliver a word about tawhid (the oneness of Allah) without refuting the shirk (associating partners with Allah) they are upon?
Answer:
No, one does not visit them except to clarify things to them, call them to Allah, and point out the error in their actions. As for visiting them just to look around, or visiting them to deliver a word that lacks warning against bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters, that is of no benefit. Yes.
