The Tablighi Jama'ah and their disagreement among themselves regarding creed and worship.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We return to the question and say: "The Tablighi Jama'ah" is not the only Islamic group that says with us: "The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." But we do not single out the Tablighi Jama'ah and others for mention, because the problem is general. Has the creed of this group, which has existed on earth for a long time, become unified? Has the creed of the individuals in the Tablighi Jama'ah become unified? Has their worship become unified? And so on? In my opinion, I say: No. Because you will find among them Hanafis, Shafi'is, Malikis, and Hanbalis, just as is found in groups other than the Tablighi Jama'ah. So there is no difference between this group and that group from this perspective. Likewise, you will find in the Tablighi Jama'ah people who actually lean toward adhering to the Book and the Sunnah, as we explained earlier, but they do not find scholars who guide them to the Book and the Sunnah. Rather, they pick up from any scholar they think has knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah. As long as whoever guides them to the Book and the Sunnah, they follow that. Why? Because their creed has become correct in that we must follow the Book and the Sunnah. But the majority of them are not like that. What is the reason? Because their idea is not unified, and they are not receiving this unified idea from the same call they call "the Call of Tabligh."
