Question:
Is it permissible to give the pledge of allegiance to the head of the Tablighi Jama'ah, because he obligates me to do so?
Answer:
The pledge of allegiance is not permissible except for the ruler of the Muslims, whom the people of authority and decision among the Muslims pledge allegiance to; as for anyone else, there is no pledge of allegiance to him. This is from the practices of the Sufis and the superstitious.
