The Methodology of the Tabligh Group
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Many people are with the Dawat al-Tabligh group. Do you advise the general public to go with them? And if there is an error, we ask that it be clarified for the people?
Regarding the Dawat al-Tabligh group, there is no doubt that people have differed in their views of them, and much has been said about them. I have not seen from any of them anything that would allow me to warn against them. However, whoever is able to stay in his country to seek knowledge is undoubtedly better off than going with them, because seeking knowledge is better than acts of worship.
And what I criticize them for is that they have little knowledge,Meaning: that they do not strive much to seek knowledge. But they have a fervent religious emotion, and they have a love for good and self-sacrifice, and so on. How many people have been guided through their efforts, so there is blessing in their striving. But if a believing person sees from them something to be warned against, he should advise them. If they comply, that is what is required. If they do not comply, he should leave them alone.
