What is the ruling on some of the girls of the Peace Fields traveling for da'wah without a mahram, based on a fatwa from their shaykhah to spend a period with her each year?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : 7: It has reached us that some of them travel for da'wah without a mahram, based on a fatwa from their shaykhah to spend a period with her each year. What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : If we knew nothing about this shaykhah except this fatwa, that would be sufficient to show that she is one of the misguided shaykhahs who contradict the Shari'ah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated in clear, eloquent Arabic:. So, her permitting the girls who belong to her to travel without a mahram, while the scholars say it is forbidden for a woman to travel without a mahram to the Sacred House of Allah for Hajj or 'Umrah—how can she permit her daughters to travel to her?! In reality, this means she has made herself the Ka'bah of these girls, which is a great shame. This is also explicitly stated in some of the books of the Sufis: that going to the grave of such-and-such a shaykh and circumambulating it seven times suffices one from going to the Sacred House of Allah. May Allah help us.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : If we knew nothing about this shaykhah except this fatwa, that would be sufficient to show that she is one of the misguided shaykhahs who contradict the Shari'ah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated in clear, eloquent Arabic:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel a journey except with a mahram.
لا يحلُّ لامرأة أن تسافر سفرًا إلا مع محرمThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
